With all due respect he's owed I think 25 million if they pick up his option year next season. No way in hell that happens.

Moncada being activated doesn't mean he'll actually play. They can't leave him on the IL or on rehab forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a $5 million buyout or a $25 million option for 2025. He's getting the $5 million to go away. He will be a free agent in like 6 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cannot stay on the field. Someone will take a flyer on him for $7M next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Oh boy, can't wait to see Moncada's meaningless ABs in the name of stunting anyone else from playing the position in the last 2-3 weeks of games that don't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Vargas is under contract, I think I would rather see literally anyone at 3B than him. Moncada, Ramos, Colas, Sheets, Crochet. Anyone. So if they're robbing Ramos of at-bats, at least it won't be Vargas. Or it probably will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some team will probably sign him unless he wants too much money. If teams look at how Eloy is doing in Baltimore they'll probably pass on Moncada. If he can get 5 to 10 mill a year, his agent should be agent of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Has anyone told Grady that Vargas isn't really a 3Ber anymore? It really does a great disservice to put Vargas at 3B, and then play Ramos at DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
