I’m more upset that he won’t be working with Anderson on his defense. Having Vizquel as a mentor would’ve been great for TA7 so of course it didn’t happen.
^^^ I like that. Although Lindblom might want the opportunity to be in the starting rotation somewhere. I think he’s one of the more intriguing options on the board.
Why would Abreu want to go to the Marlins? They aren't winning anything any time soon. Only thing I can think of is that their offer is a lot better than the Sox.
If Rodon becomes a reliever and is really good at it, he could make more money than he would as a mediocre starting pitcher. But I think he still has the stuff to be a starter, he just has to stay healthy.
Smith is controlled through the 2023 season, left handed, and has good stuff. Not to mention that he’s on the Marlins. I’d definitely inquire about him to see what the cost is.
