And this is fair.

And I think @Y2Jimmy0 is right that if traded, we will like what we get back. He's not getting traded as just a salary dump.

His option for '24 automatically gets picked up if traded right? So teams will know they are trading for 2 years?

They're not signing another every day OF when they have Benintendi, Robert, Colas eventually, and Eloy DH.

The Clevinger deal looks better every time a back-end SP signs.

I know they were shopping him. Gotta cut payroll where you can I guess.

Yep. Made sense to keep playing him.

Hmmm 2 years control of McNeil.

Sadly, yes.

I would rather see him moved for near MLB ready prospects if they move him. If they want to throw in either of those guys as a way to offset money along with those prospects then go for it.

I agree to an extent but man I wouldn't f*** around with a back injury. Incompetent management/front office.

Setup man I guess.

Would be nice if we could deal off a spare part for a SP with options.

There were posters here (myself included) who in like late August or in September said they should have just shut him down, along with Robert who couldn't even swing a bat. Really wish they would have.

Yeah that seems like he would be throwing s%*# at a wall. But I can see money being an issue between these two: one team is working on a budget and the other is trying to cut salary anywhere it can since they are paying a huge tax anyway.

Huh? lol

Should have the surgery last season. He wasn’t doing the team any favors by playing.

Yeah I lost 27 pounds from beginning of May through September. Did like a month of keto to drop weight quick and then let myself cheat like once a week and mostly stayed low carb. Then fall hit and then I wasn’t as strict. Walking every day on my break for an hour during the summer months helped drop a lot of weight since you’re drenched in sweat on those hot days. I need to get back to keto and walking every day.

He threw a few innings last year coming back from a surgery. Hopefully he can progress fine and can be some kind of depth.

Stiever maybe?

Minor league deal only.

Yeah it might be easier to option Lambert to use him as a starter and then add another reliever.

I’ve been wondering the same.

It’s safe to assume they are not going to add another regular starting OF.

And Eloy, opening up DH at bats. No room for Conforto as they won't block Colas.
