Is it?

But that's every day.

Very solid point

Probably won't hear from Balta for a minute.

Colas in LF and Tauchman in RF

Problem is, there is nothing to gain.

And if he pitches good, sure this team can win more games. No team will trade for him though.

Touché

I have said that almost all of their veteran additions have very limited upside but this one has absolutely zero upside.

Forgot about this lol but we'll see.

Well, half of that is true haha

No team wants this guy so it doesn't matter how good he pitches.

Exactly this. Even if you ignore the off the field stuff, this signing doesn't make sense.

He could have sat out the season if he didn't want to follow the rules.

I just don’t get it…he’s never exactly been an innings eater so that’s not a reason or argument.

You would need to also carry him on the 26-man though, where you already have Robert, Benintendi, Taylor, Tauchman, and Slater already. If they think it's likely that they are going to move Robert before OD, then there is room. Could always try to add him and figure it out during Spring Training (injuries happen).

Agreed. I'm not even saying that I dislike the move. Just think he could have been had later in the offseason/minor league deal.

Why did I go down this rabbit hole. I usually know better.

Then it sounds like Yoshida can move to LF. Again, it’s a weird move to dump a bad contract OF for another bad contract OF.

Exactly he doesn’t have options so those guys do kinda directly block him, barring a trade.

Canario also has no options so you can’t stash him. So Slater/Taylor does basically block him unless you think Robert is 100% getting moved.

I don’t even hate the Slater signing. Just thought the rush to sign him and guarantee a 40-man spot was weird

He shouldn’t but that’s not my point. Point is it was dumb to jump the gun early on a platoon OF and carry him on the 40-man all offseason when other options would become available due to other 40-man roster crunches.
