Holy over react Bat Man.

The poster is talking about when Garcia signed with the Rays. It's not really relevant though when comparing signing Eaton as that was for the 2019 season.

Makes sense why they wouldn't have planned a doubleheader for today to be honest.

Eating like $4 mill? Lol

It was in reference to Escobar And the talk of “eating his salary.”

Why does everyone act like he’s making $20 mill this season lol

He's hitting 3rd.

Moncada has 4 years left and as someone else said, Burger is only a year younger.

No. I’m just saying at bats are there eventually. Vaughn is capable of playing a corner spot. He’s not replacing Moncada. That is stupid.

DH/1B really.

Kinda like a Mike Sweeney or Billy Butler.

Calhoun is also a free agent after this year but maybe they could take on his contract as more of a salary dump? Not that he is even healthy now.

Lol I didn’t even think of that

Only need 4 SP in playoffs anyway so that may be his role anyway.

Collins for Escobar straight up?

Yeah it’s a part of the schedule too where we play bad teams so might as well. Rather have him be healthier later in season.

I don’t think Abreu goes on IL since we currently only have 3 bench spots. I bet a reliever goes.

Wish we were a little closer to the All-Star break. A 10-day IL stint with 4 days off would be nice.

Because a trade hasn't been completed on June 25th? No.

I've been full aboard the "sending down Vaughn IF/when everyone else is healthy" train myself.

I feel like it's moot point knowing that all of those guys can be in the lineup against righties (Leury 2B, Vaughn LF, Goodwin CF, Lamb RF). Edit: I also just noticed we are only playing with a 3-man bench right now.

Yeah, it's gotten so bad to the point where we are yearnin for Hamilton haha

Right. And the alternative is playing guys like Billy Hamilton (when he is back) and Brian Goodwin who have had lackluster careers to this point anyway.

Personally, I'm good with him just DHing at this point.

I'm fine with a guy like him hitting 7/8th against righties and then having him hit higher against lefties. It's not like he's been a black hole against righties down there.
