Eh, if I were Arizona I would want something better than a position-less 28 year-old with terrible make-up. But that's just me.

Mercedes is pretty much worth nothing right now. Really no argument to be made there. I bet the only way he gets dealt is to an AL team for nothing or after NL officially gets the DH in the off-season. Not for a switch-hitting All-Star 2B with power who costs very little salary-wise who fits perfectly onto our team.

Is that the same surgery Archer had?

They need to do a better job of lining that shit up where maybe Vaughn and Eloy are both not in the corners.

Exactly. It's not killing them to pay it but there is no reason for them to pay the last 2 months since he would walk for nothing at the end of the season.

Put it this way: the D-backs motivation to move him isn't because of his salary. He's making like $3 mill rest of year. It's because the team sucks, he's a free agent after this year, and they won't give him a QO to get anything for him. An All-Star at that remaining salary is not a burden.

Right. It's really not comparable situations. We didn't move on from Avi because of his price. We wanted to move on from him because he wasn't good.

Yeah I think if you're gonna go with all that offensive power in the corners and DH, might as well play Engel (hit him like 7th) or even Hamilton and hit him 9th.

The way people talk about Escobar here you would think he had an albatross contract lol

I was close.

This. My bad.

I literally didn't say I would trade him lol I said anyone not on the MLB roster or Kelley. Poor wording on my part. Any pitcher except anyone on the MLB roster and Kelley.

Adolfo and an arm or two that isn't on MLB roster or Kelley.

What I would like to see: 1. Anderson SS 2. Moncada 3B 3. Abreu 1B 4. Eloy DH 5. Sheets RF 6. Vaughn LF 7. Collins C 8. Goodwin CF 9. Garcia 2B

With most of his teammates not wanting him back, I'm really curious to see the conclusion of this.

Oh wait, I overlooked the boatload of prospects part. You're right they can play him for sure.

lol not that extreme.

We say this all the time but I feel like there is always a move that everyone questions and says is dumb and this definitely qualifies.

Hosmer is a guy who goes opposite field a lot right? Feel like he would make sense on the Red Sox in Fenway, who don't get a lot of production at 1B as is. Not at his full salary of course, though it was a more front-loaded deal.

They didn't make those type of moves when they were rebuilding. They certainly are not now.

Thanks!

Is there a site that shows how many options a player has left? Someone on my Facebook feed is claiming that Micker has 3 left which doesn’t sound right lol

Agree with this but I think they can fill both. The lineup is stacked even with platoons at 2B and RF.

The bullpen is definitely the most important need but they can do fill both holes.
