I agree with Fornelli saying they probably told him he’s get called up if he played well and he thinks he played well. I’m putting this as Escobar probably being bitter that he’s not a major leaguer anymore. Very likely a non-issue that will certainly not be blown out of proportion.

Tbh I couldn’t give less of a shit of how they treated Escobar, but still not a great look.

His numbers look really good but his wRC+ is below average. AAA is such a shit show right now.

I'm not saying let him go, I'm saying if he's your best option then give him 1 year 10 mil for 2020. He's not getting more than that.

Idk, but I'm not locking in a guy who isn't hitting well enough to DH now and only figures to get worse for 2 years.

Should be aiming higher than a 100 wRC+ DH.

You don't draft for need, but it's real nice when the draft aligns with your needs

That's ideal imo

"Hey AJ, tough day, we all have those............now get lost"

Wasn't his name thrown around a ton with Sale or Q. Dodged quite a bullet there.

I audibly laughed

Lol see ya reed

AJ Reed wasn't a terrible idea but uhhhhh let's move on

He's certainly capable of that

Can't be worse with that than lopez has been the bulk of the year

I don't disagree

The fact that they're intentionally not fielding their best lineup and their best player is hurt probably has something to do with it.

Today would be a nice day for TA and Eloy to refind their stride.

I would say the same is more or less true of Cole, he's more likely to be quality, but 200 mil is a lot to live up to.

..wait a second

I totally get negative opinions of Jerry n co causing people to scrutinize every move, but were moaning about things that haven't happened yet.

I see a 78-82 win team next year with zero additions and decent luck with health, though that might be asking a lot at this point.

It's a significantly better package at the time of trade than Sale lol
