Bob Sacamano

He wasn't eligible to receive a QO this time since he was already offered one previously.

Maybe it means they would deal Vaughn. I could buy them offering a low ball offer to see if he'd take it.

Yesterday, I saw that Astros and Mariners have interest.

Zunino is a free agent.

It would be not even 3 full weeks at a time of year where there are a decent amount of days off and rain outs.

Yeah they at least have to give him a chance.

This

Jorge Alfaro. You have someone to split time with Grandal and if Grandal is washed, you have someone who can start. Edit: his projected arb number was $3.6M before being non-tendered.

I’d be ok with it.

First base for sure. Not even a debate.

Well, no one says they are good at their jobs lol they're bad at this.

I think it was more they didn't want to even pay the $2M option. Trade him off for something and be on the hook for none of it.

He can't really stay healthy either. He'd fit right in!

Those guys also cost players along with the money though.

Was going to say. The short porch in LF should help him out there. This move makes sense for the Astros.

I'm hoping they're wrong about that number. Woof.

If Cueto gets more, this is fine. I wouldn't want to gamble on his age 37 season.

Yeah. Plenty of rebuilding teams could use the innings in their rotation.

I’m just saying add depth: guys with options off waivers or free agency, maybe if there’s a swing-man they can add to the pen that can make starts, etc.

They did need another SP and still need depth there.

That makes it sound like $8M+ option year/buy-out to me.

And like 50/50 they don’t open with Colas on the OD roster.

Clevinger got $8M.

I’m definitely open to moving him. Just gotta hope Graveman or Lopez can step into closer role. Wouldn’t be opposed to signing someone like Brad Boxberger for a year/$2M deal.

Agreed.
