Kepler was awful last year but I guess if he’s cheap enough

This. They weren’t planning on doing much, if any spending. Murakami fell into their laps and it was a good opportunity to get a potential power hitting star at their price.

Mangun is probably a backup right? Cruz wasn’t very good in CF and they can use someone who can play the position. Cruz probably would shift to LF (or DH I guess). Roster Resource currently has O’Hearn at DH but that is just a guess. Horwitz does have experience at 2B so could be his spot.

Maybe they can still be in on Robert too

lol gotta love that reporting. If it happens, could be this week. Could be after.

Ryan Rolison, I didn’t know ye

I’ll predict he goes to Mets, only because the Mets dumped $10M of McNeil’s contract and still need OF help.

I think most of his starts are of the “opener” variety. Like him better in pen than rotation.

Good signing

I don’t see how they don’t trade a lefty reliever.

They gave up a draft pick for Gavin Lux. Not crazy to think we can get one for Robert.

That’s who is starting when Robert goes on the IL. It’s not “if” but “when.”

Exactly. Time to move on

Hold onto him so he can maybe play 100 games and wait for his bat to get hot with the weather?

I’ve got newborn dad brain going so too lazy and tired to do it myself. Do Jonathan Cannon and Davis Martin next lol

Not if there is something at least semi-interesting (a former top prospect or two who has struggled or coming off TJ surgery or something) being offered. You can certainly do worse than that later.

A bat first 2B.

Same. Completely turn the page on the last core.

These are the kind of guys we will see in offers

I feel like the draft pick is more valuable than any one piece any team would give up for him.

Is that what you’re hearing?

Agreed

Was thinking the same when I saw this earlier

Yeah over half that current rotation should be depth or at least one in a long relief role. Maybe one as a 5th starter.

Yep, reallocate the resources
