What does everyone think?

What does he get in FA?

Years?  AAV?  Total dollars?

Is it worth maybe trying an under-the-radar move and dealing Madrigal for a RF or SP, then signing Semien?

I think Semien would be willing to play 2B.

I mean, is 2B really filled?  Really?

NO NO AND NO. NO WAY I'M TRADING MADRIGAL AND HIS 6 years of service for Semien

Had the white Sox not traded him, a Semien, Tatis, Anderson infield could have dominated 2019 and 2020. Too late for that, and now he’s a terrible fit for us.

I have no idea whatsoever what he’s worth this offseason. Between a bad 8 week 2020 season and the revenue drop, he seems in a spot to be massively hurt this year. If owners are being honest about their losses he will get a 1 year deal, but if he is still a 5 win shortstop and you sign him for a couple years he’s a potential huge bargain. But it may be no one has the money for that gamble.

There are also a ton of high-end SS’s hitting free agency next in Lindor, Baez, Correa, Story, & Seager.  Only the value shoppers will be looking for a SS this year.  I expect him to return to OAK or sign with the Reds.

If he was coming off another strong year, and it was a normal market, even with a surplus of SS I'd imagine someone would go 3/$60 or more. This year? I'd rather go make a bet on the election results being overturned than on any number I could come up with.

I think its an almost certainty that he returns to Oakland but im interested in how his market plays out. Id give Marcus 2/30 or 3/48.
