A lot of it too though is having innings beforehand. Over the last 3 years, he has 63.2 innings to his name (60.1 MLB, 3.1 in college). Your take of "he can take Giolito's spot when he's gone" is just unrealistic for 2024.

I don't even know how many innings he would throw if you had him in a MLB bullpen or beginning work of transitioning him as a starter with limited innings over the past like 4 years. At this point, I think the amount for either will be close as he just needs innings. Might as well get it in the MLB bullpen.

Yeah I saw that too. But in the article that I read, it mentioned that they could still line up both Judge and Betts in the OF at times. Dodgers love moving guys around the field. Platooning an infielder with a guy who plays the OF and then moving another player between the IF and OF isn't new to them.

Also, just looked up this guy's numbers (a 23-year old, left-handed hitting third baseman. Wow. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=muraka000mun

1/$8 mill but you’re probably right. We’re talking about the 4th OF (when Colas come up and if they add another left-handed bat) but with this team’s injury history, I guess you could do worse than Pollock.

Hoping that we read “Pollock declines player option” no matter how unlikely it is, ha.

It didn’t seem like Mookie would be moving to 2B full-time. It sounded like he would just see more time there potentially than other years. Plus, Trea Turner is a free agent and Justin Turner has a $16 mill option that probably gets declined (but probably resigns for less) so they still need Lux.

Limiting the shift should help him.

Thanks for the write-up. I didn't know anything about him but figured it was worth sharing.

Also posted this in the Off-season Plan topic since he is a left-handed hitting OF that will possibly be discussed if posted. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/orix-buffaloes-may-post-masataka-yoshida-for-mlb-teams.html

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/orix-buffaloes-may-post-masataka-yoshida-for-mlb-teams.html Tossed this in here since we will all be talking about the team adding another left-handed hitting OF all off-season until they do.

If we didn’t have as many 1B/DH options as we have, I think people would want him to return.

I’m sure there’s more than that.

Hire him as a coach.

Assume? I would anticipate haha I do like the other options though.

What a waste of 2 years. Glad that bozo is gone.

Just what we need. More poor fits.

I would think being a Boras client he would be more likely to have a player option than team option.

That makes sense then.

I too was wondering this, since the active and 40-man rosters will be one in the same in a few days.

I don’t even think he’s coming close to $25 mill/year.

Seager cleared $300 mill. Turner will too.

What is the status on Conforto? With the season fully wrapping up this weekend, I would expect to start seeing off-season fluff pieces on free agents next week.

Yeah and for league minimum at that.

One of the guys in an MLBTR chat predicted 4/$54 or 56 mill for Benintendi. Can't remember the exact amount but also not worth much as it's just a guess.
