Yeah it really depends on what part of the order is up. If Andrus was up, easy call to bunt.

Some team will want him as a back end guy. As someone said yesterday, teams may prefer a veteran than their 7th/8th best option from minors that some teams are on.

Because there is no other option. Rather moves guy and see if maybe they get lucky than do nothing.

When does he look great?

Nice AB

To lose

Good showcase game by Lynn.

I think backup 1B/3B and then most of his at bats against lefties is a role for him.

Unless a team is offering their best 5/6 controllable young MLB ready players/prospects, you hold onto him now.

This might be the most interesting trade deadline for the team in like 4-5 years. Considering they did nothing most of those years.

HA. This is actually what I was thinking when I read that comment.

They should definitely consider trading him but only deal him if they're blown away.

Who are the "cheap players of value" you speak of? Middleton is a FA after this year.

I'd like for them to move as many guys as possible that have expiring contracts or are controlled through next year. I'd love to move Bummer but feel like they probably won't.

Middleton is definitely another guy that should be moved.

True. Should start collecting more minor league arms now. Should *hopefully* bring in a guy you can place into the rotation after a Giolito trade. Even if it isn't the main/best piece but still an additional MLB ready arm as a 3rd or 4th piece.

You can say the same for Lynn basically. Nightengale did acknowledge the other guys (besides Giolito) have no value though.

He should just have surgery now. f*** it.

They won't be able to move him. Can't wait until he's gone though.

And blocked by who even? Jorge Mateo?

I bet he plays today, sits tomorrow with lefty on mound. I think Vaughn will be out today, or at least I put it at 50/50.

But even if you rebuild/tear it down, you have to make those kind of deals anyway. Need bodies at the MLB level to play/possibly flip the next summer.

I think Eloy will still see sometime in the OF. He’ll be used the same way he has been.

Pretty fucked up that they are running out Luke Weaver and his 6.96 ERA every 5th day.

He could have a couple decent starts if he’s not out too long after ASB.
