I'm going to guess Padres. Some team that will have holes in the rotation after this post-season.

They need to get another left-handed hitting OF. If you sign a strong defender, I think Colas is your LF and other guy is in RF. Either way works. Who I want and probably not at all likely: Nimmo Who I would settle for: Benintendi Probable cheap 1 year rebuild value value types the Sox love: Gallo, Conforto Who they probably end up signing knowing this franchise: Dickerson, Grossman, Gamel, Bradley Jr, Kiermaier, Naquin

Probably because they were close to $200 mill in 2021 and Hahn implied they didn’t have much spending room at the end of season presser. Pretty easy information to pretend you have sources on.

Agreed. I wouldn’t mind him as a bench coach. Currently being a 3rd base coach, a bench coach has to be a promotion right?

Other than that speculation where it just lists as a managerial opening, I guess not.

So does Long get an interview the couple days off?

Came here to say it, a Harpchado NLCS.

The people saying to let him go are not “tired of Jose.” Has nothing to do with his personality or attitude or anything like that.

Lol I wasn’t really saying I think it’s likely or realistic. Just thinking out loud for fun. I forgot the name of this site is called “Budgettalk” for a minute.

Yeah. Like if they actually made TA available and dealt him for prospects or other MLB ready players in an area of need and then signed Correa, Xander, Dansby, or Turner?

Yeah...this is a trade that isn't going to happen haha

Oh we already all saw that report a few days ago/end of last week. Wasn't that a Nightengale article? It's already been said to be untrue I believe.

Says who?

I can get over it.

He signed an extension with the Dodgers, who also have Trea Turner going to free agency and a large option on Justin Turner I'd expect them to buyout after this year.

Where was Espada in 2017? Article I saw said he became bench coach in 2018.

Sure. Let’s make fun of the guy with a disability.

Random thought but who’s the better defensive player out of TA, Romy and Lenyn?

I like it (if true). Just cast a wide net to get different perspectives before choosing. That’s not to say I actually want Joe Maddon. Go younger.

I’d take him as like, a bench coach. But that’s at most.

Did they do that with Ozzie when he was the bench coach of the Marlins? I can’t remember.

I don’t think Crochet is going to get any sort of starter innings next year since he hasn’t really gotten many going back to college days. He’ll get innings but I think more as a reliever workload. Might as well get them in the MLB.

Good thing we went in house with our left-handed Sheets. Phew.

Not over yet (at least that's what I'm telling my parlay).

Yeah, I've been kind of guessing the budget at most is what we were at last year, which sucks. Gotta get creative to move some money around potentially.
