You can never have enough arms. Signing Kay doesn't hurt anyones chance at contributing next year and only creates competition for the young guys. I'd rather have guys battle it out than award and force guys to stick.

I don't mind this at all. Jerry is never going to sign off on the prices FA pitching is getting nowadays, and at least Getz is getting creative. For a backend arm, they could do a lot worse, and now it creates a little competition between the fringe guys.

He barely played for them. He's pretty much been in the Mexican league last two seasons.

I'd be pretty happy if they signed him. I honestly think he may end up being the better hitter than Murakami.

How do we know Pereira isn't in the plans to be the the starting RF or LF? Hill is fine as a 4th OF. He's in the 99% in speed and plays very good defense. If you liked Billy Hamilton then you should have no issue with Hill.

For when Robert gets hurt again. They have no legit CF option. $900K is nothing.

He's hurt and is going to miss all of 2026. No reason to keep him around and waste a 40-man spot.

Hopefully Ishbia is 100% in charge so we don't need to worry about seeing Montgomery leave. If the Sox land the #1 pick in the lottery, Roch Cholowski is going to make all this moot.

If everything falls into place, which is highly unlikely because not every player 'makes it' - I would say the ideal outcome is Carlson at SS, Bonemer at 3B, and Montgomery in LF. But again, not all these guys are going to pan out, baseball doesn't work like that.

I could see that. Vargas doesn't seem to have the bat for 1B, and his defense is too rough at 3B to stick there. Like you said, he's kind of a complementary player rather than a lineup fixture long-term.

I don't think they would. Ishbia is going to want to own the new stadium. Working with the Friends of the Park is nothing but a disaster.

I'd move him if the price is right. I've never really considered Vargas as a player that will be here when this team is ready to compete.

He has a digital marketing company with his brother that must be doing fairly well. It's not like he was being guaranteed league minimum bouncing between Charlotte and Chicago this past season. Probably way more consistent for what he wants out of life at this point.

Curious to see the AAV here.

I'd be onboard for trading Quero for a young MLB ready outfielder. It does feel a bit premature though, but I'd accept the logic behind it. I just really hope Getz doesn't package him with dead weight like Benny to get out from under that contract of his...
