Just because I was curious and I looked into it, it looks like there are currently 3 players remaining from that 2017 team: Altuve, Bregman, and McCullers.
There were rumors he was going to make the team before that injury happened. The injury just opened up the need for him to play LF and adding Yermin to the team.
Would be really tough to say no to an offer from the team that just won the World Series. Now he gets to join them in raising a banner against us on Opening Day.
Jorge Alfaro. You have someone to split time with Grandal and if Grandal is washed, you have someone who can start.
Edit: his projected arb number was $3.6M before being non-tendered.
