Bob Sacamano

Just looked into him. Interesting option to at least stash on the bench since he hits right-handed (since they should have a left-handed hitter in left and right).

Exactly, if the price is met then do the deal. They can still wait for those others to sign.

No

Please clear some 40-man spaaaaace for someone.

There isn’t value in a guy like that starting at a corner and being able to back up CF? And who knows, maybe Robert gets traded in a couple years.

Coby Mayo would be the first part. Dude is ranked 27 overall on MLB’s Top 100. You probably aren’t getting him and one of their other higher guys.

I get it, but I just don't think anyone would pay the value it would take at this point. Maybe in another year-year and a half.

Don’t pull a Justin Fields and fumble this opportunity, Chris.

Lol true. I typed the comment and thought about that and decided to post and wait and see how long it took for someone to say that.

Yeah, he could easily have a significant injury before then ha Unload the $8.55M, get a couple of legit prospects, and use the money towards another SP.

Exactly. He's guaranteed to miss time. It's why I started betting the under on his HR and RBI amounts on Draft Kings the last couple of years lol

I would think maybe Shuster in the minors since he has an option and then use Touki in the 5th spot as a placeholder for someone to grab the spot from the minors like Nastrini or Eder. Or Shuster after some minor league success.

Yeah maybe a bit too high but I also don't think they'd be interested in team options. Probably a player option like the route Rodon went.

I agree. But they might as well toss out a 1 year, like $15M offer and see if he bites. At least make him say no.

Too soon for jokes about Chicago players and their moms. I think we've all had enough of that this week lol

That would be great. Can offer QOs then if they pitch well enough. Lord knows we will need the pitching. Saving money on the TA option and paying DeJong instead, that money needs to be reinvested into the pitching.

1 year deals for both? Or similar Rodon deals where it can be multi-year but they can opt-out after 1?

Only one I have never watched is Fargo but I think it's on the list. I also watched Gen V which didn't end not too long ago and a spin-off of The Boys.

A whopping 2.2 innings haha

Hahn is no longer here to hand that to relievers.

I also figured this is why.

Benintendi is also untradeable at this point. It's a short list of guys who would/should be back next year.

Team is going to suck next year with or without him. Trade him.

Those guys can still get a ton of at bats but yeah, I would have had them compete for a spot in ST. Who knows, that could still be the plan at 2B if they want Lopez to be the backup.

Anytime you look ahead to future lineups banking on prospects, you need the asterisks next to names: *if the player develops.
