Grab Dirden, he has good defense and some speed and I think he can hit. He was fighting for a roster spot to start the year, had some minor injuries and struggled some but I think he has some upside
I feel like at this point Grifol is just a sacrificial lamb. It is obvious we aren't competing this year, so why fire a guy and have to pay him to bring someone else in so this team can still lose 100 games because of the roster construction?
I highly doubt there wouldn't have been one team to take a flier on him for the rest of the year. Hahn/KW just didn't want to take a deal, they probably planned to accept his option so didn't want to take just anything for him
