Sosa is a better fielding third baseman and hitter than Miguel Vargas, so that should have been his position. Put Vargas at first (his strongest position) and DH Murakami (who can't exactly pick 'em), or vice versa. They could have traded Andrew Benintendi for some kid who will probably never make the majors. Better yet would be to actually improve the team now with any trades, rather than use this team as a baseball incubator.

Already scratched/dud.

They must have forgotten Chicago...

Never really seemed like this front office was a big fan of Sosa. Not really sure exactly how much they were gonna get for him but they didn’t really give him a chance to boost his value this season at all

There's lottery tickets like Sandlin/Mead/Acuna/Vargas/Korey Lee. And then there's this crap... It's like they're running a race to outdo Minnesota for most embarrassing AL franchise. Another Getz development win for the ages. Even the Rockies seem fairly stable for now...already matching April 2025 team victories and surpassing it before the middle of the month.

Put me on record — this is stupid. Offense-starved team refuses to give a shake to a young cost-controlled player who can hit a little bit. Maybe the skeletons will suddenly fall out of the closet to make this make more sense but to me this is just Getz not liking Sosa's game on an aesthetic level and feeling unwilling to figure out how to use him.
