Squirmin' for Yermin

Sometimes you have to trade prospects when their value is at an all time high. You can't always wait until they completely bust because then you got nothing for them. If we sign EE. This would be the time to trade Collins if you can get something decent. I'd frankly prefer a prospect for prospect swap because I don't think he'd get you a major leaguer that gets you all that excited.

Yeah, I too am fine with Leury as his platoo and I like our bench. But I admittedly am way higher on Mendick than many others. I think he will be a super solid bench player in his career. Thinking like a Chris Taylor skill set

That would not be a bad idea for him. He'd also need to prove he can be an average RF. That may help him more than proving he's actually a stud hitter. I'd offer him 1 year 20 million. Why tf not.

No chance they get both. EE seems to be their man and then they are done on offense.. Maybe they sign some cheap veteran 2B but other than that, our offseason is practically done apart from adding some bullpen arm and some minor league deals.

I am fine with trading either Collins or McCann if there's some decent value. Problem is, I don't think McCann brings you anything interesting and Collins I would imagine would just bring you an okay reliever, which to me may not be worth it.

No.. McCann stays as the backup. That's all he should be anyways. People thinking he should get DH at bats were and are delusional about his skill set.. If we sign Encanacion I think Collins is traded as he has no spot in 2020 or in the future. You don't necessarily want your backup C to be a very poor defender and he'd never have DH or 1B opportunities with Vaughn and Abreu long term and Encarnacion and Abreu in 2020. Bye Collins.

Yaz is the starting catcher... but nice try.

Gosh that is nasty...

technically you were wrong because it was Chester Cuthbert.. You uneducated swine.

if not Hahn should resign loll

Here is a HOT TAKE.... I would rather trade Anderson than Madrigal if one had to be included for Lindor... oopsies.

I was thinking more like 96

My wild prediction... Mazara is second on the team in home runs with 29 (behind Eloy with 34)

I was really hoping we would sign Strasman

Wrong... The Abreu extension did.

I predict we overpay for Marco Gonzalez due to us not signing anyone.

If they add someone I think Collins is traded. I could see him being the main piece in a Price/Beni deal.

I want 1 maybe even two signings. If we are slimping out on the starting pitching market (which we are)... Let's at least create a really good bullpen. Let's sign Betances and Harris.

I would rather have Teheran at his value 2-15(?) million than Keuchel at 4/70.. I THINK

I mean if playing on great teams makes you a winner... Then okay.. But the past 2-3 years he's been getting worse and worse.

I mean sure... If you don't look at potential.. Mazara is 24. Avi is 28 I think.. Mazara has and has always had far more potential than Avi.. But yeah, If Mazara remains the same player than sure, we acquired the left hand version... But Mazara offers way more potential and that isn't debatable.

He's a starting pitcher that maxes out at about 5 innings pitched and walks a shit ton. I would not give Dunning for him and i'm sure thatll be the ask.

If JD wasn't opting out this year, there is ZERO chance he opts out next year.

I want Walker for my bargain bin. Ryu and Walker would be ideal

I'm kinda with you here.
