Colome needs to go. I've wanted Abreu gone for a couple years but I think he's more valuable to us since we won't get anything for him. HOU really could use him but I doubt we would get any real prospect for him.
You almost wonder if CLE starts unloading pieces at the deadline. They have a ton of SP I'd like. I could see based Bauer getting moved since he is FA in 2021.
He's not though. He is mediocre at best defensively. There are actual metrics that prove this which are more reliable than a biased fans eye test. He was non-tendered by DETROIT. It's fun to think he's something more than he is, but he probably isn't. Like the Mariners for 3 weeks.
If he was batting his usual .230-.240 there would be serious pearl clutching going on. He is not some pitch framing genie. He is, and has been, a competant back up catcher. Giving this guy millions of extra money when we don't need to is retarded.
I've been barking up the top 50 prospect tree for awhile and have taken a lot of shit on here for it. If he doesn't implode I am 100% confidient we will get something in that range.
There is no reason at all to extend him. It's not even the ASB yet and he has been offensively deficient his whole career. If he his still mashing next year around this time, fine.
