Jose Abreu

Interesting, didn't know that. I guess I can't put myself in his shoes but I feel like he could still be a quality starter for a few seasons

Why would he retire at 35 coming off a career year?

Jose Rondon is intriguing. That kind of power from a shortstop is rare

The opposite actually, in a lot of cases

Pretty cool that we got this guy for money we couldn't use, and now he might even be a major bullpen piece when we're good

Buur and Vieira are pretty rested. Maybe we won't need Vieira though.

4-5 for Eloy

Castellanos is the new Raburn. Except he's actually good

If anyone needs a day off it's him. LaMarre or Palka can spell him in RF.

I know Ricky isn't there, but Yolmer's lack of hustle right there was the most blatant of all year, yet he's still in the game.

He seems to do something like that every game

Eloy 3-4

I'd be jumping for joy if he agreed to that which tells me it won't happen. Eloy is different from TA/Eaton and so on, I'd imagine that even with 0 MLB ABs, he'd need a lot more money than that. If he's anything like what we expect him to be, he would get more than $40 mil alone in his arb years.

In what way?

I believe he's eligible to return tomorrow. So this makes sense. We'll see him in a week

This is one of my favorite sports photos ever, for so many reasons.

In the increasingly unlikely event that he's called up before mid-April of next year, I really don't think I'll care about the extra year. While I would disagree with the decision deep down, I also know I would just be way too excited to see him play to care.

Moncada

Nah, only 5 innings! Long reliever at best!

Very well written. Even with all this, I still can see us trading him to a contender (Cubs, Oakland, etc) to try and get him another ring. Maybe, once his option is declined, we sign him to a one year Miguel Gonzalez deal to eat innings until Cease/Dunning are called up, or even hire him as a coach of some sort.

I was at least hoping to see Vieira, who is rested

That's what I was answering. Since July 1, he has had 9 games where he had 0 hits and 0 walks
