If they aren’t keeping Seby around, I fear they will force Grandal into DH/1B too often trying to get their money’s worth. If he can’t be an adequate backup C, just DFA his ass.
I highly doubt Conforto signs somewhere he might end up as a part time player. He is likely looking for a short bounce back deal to lock in big dollars in the next year or two. Sox won’t overpay for another OF. If they still want to make a splash (Ha!), 2B still needs filling.
I want a 2B that can actually field his position, and not be a complete idiot on the base paths for that matter. Madrigal can waste time in the Cubs system for all I care.
Yeah, and what does Whit do that Leury doesn’t? They probably should have a backup plan if Colas isn’t quite ready (I think he is) but Merrifield doesn’t really do anything for me.
I guess I’m after more confirmation than the internet speculation I’ve seen. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are. A cost cutting move definitely feels like it’s coming next, and probably soon. I just hope it’s something that we don’t hate.
