Bob Sacamano

Honestly if they think he can catch a little bit (get a bulk of the DH at bats next year if NL gets a DH), ship him there.

Simple solution: Move the deadline back a at least 2 weeks. Especially without a waiver deadline.

He’s having a good year so I honestly can’t see him accepting a bench role next year. Even a one year deal at least with a rebuilding team that could flip him mid-season.

Sure. Bring him aboard.

After watching Burger play 3B a couple times, idk how anyone would prefer Burger at 3B to the superior Moncada.

Trying to find my post from around the all-star break where I said I think he will find his home run stroke and finish between 20-25 for the season but there’s so many threads where people were bitching about Moncada that it seems impossible to find lol

What a bum

Send down Burger Sheets for Robert and Eloy. DFA Lamb? Lamb doesn’t even play his natural position this year so might as well.

I’m good getting a 2B and rolling with a combo of guys in RF. You already have Engel penciled in against the lefties and late inning defense sub for whoever plays against the righties.

Yeah I too think it will be after the upcoming trip to Milwaukee. By the time the Cubs series in Wrigley comes, that will be beyond 20 days anyway so he will have to be back then.

Brain cramp there but he did say tomorrow too.

They could DH him those games.

lol I thought the same thing.

Yeah, I’m not really a fan of him getting at bats.

Feel like it should be Leury but now that I just said that, Billy will get a hit.

On a day with a doubleheader, I’m cool with him DHing game one and then playing him at third with Sheets DHing in the game later against a tougher righty. Also torn on who I would catch either game: lefty against the tougher righty or better defender with Lopez?

A little confused why Lopez wasn’t just added today as 27th man to start instead of being added 4 days ago.

No. A player can no be offered a QO so the team doesn't get anything.

Yep lol

I don't think the poster was suggesting it was possible.

I could definitely see Conforto taking a one year, pillow type contract. At that point though, he'd probably just re-sign with the Mets.

Yeah, they are 7 back in the 4th place so it would be weird if he didn't have the extra year of control. Could be more of a move for next year too.

Because the Diamondbacks don't really have urgency to trade him weeks in advance of deadline. They could be waiting for better offers/opportunities on other teams to possibly have an injury at 2B or 3B. Kinda dumb not to wait if the best offer isn't much.

That's what I figured too. Deal Adolfo for Escobar straight up and call it a day.

I would have thought Kopech but they don't seem to want to use him for more than an inning yet. Lopez was called up so I would think it is him *gulps*.
