Bob Sacamano

Not at all.

He likely wouldn’t be on the active roster long enough though to where he can be selected in the Rule 5 next offseason though.

Emerson is a lefty too, correct? I feel like I almost lean that way, all things equal.

Ben Cowles is definitely a DFA at some point in next couple of months.

Maybe they package someone like Gilbert in a deal with Robert or Sosa.

Also good point

Good point.

Take another starter that may be more interesting than the backend group we have.

I don’t get how he wasn’t protected

Jim Thome played more games at SS than 3B in the minor league season after he was drafted

Papa Roch come on down!

They do it for other drafts too

Yep. Just like previous years

I was going to say, it’s in the first post

Ugh. Because it’s clearly not just for Crawford if we sent both and cash. Jfc why do I even respond to you.

True. I could still see them being packaged together but with Sox kicking in money to a team with an OF need like Philly or Mets.

I wouldn’t put it past them.

Smith is signed through 2033 and they don’t have the benefit of DHing him.

All depends on what they get offered. If they feel it’s not enough, just hold onto him.

I think if they move him, they get what they wanted. They can easily keep both and rotate in a lost season in 2026, but don’t love that plan long term.

I’ve been saying all along I wouldn’t be shocked. Can only play one. Commit to one and use the other one to fill another area of need.

Phillies are interested right?

So they’re paying what, 2 closers a combined like $40M annually?

May we interest you in Edgar Quero?

Also shopping Cronenworth. I doubt Tatis gets dealt but maybe Cronenworth in a salary dump.
