Bob Sacamano

He signed a one year extension early last season.

I would expect Yan Gomes to get a starting job.

They pretty much already need one reliever to replace Kopech and another to replace Tepera (unless they re-sign him). Trading Kimbrel (unless you get a younger reliever or two in the deal that you can plug into the bullpen) makes 3.

I agree with this. I just more meant I don’t think they will get a productive piece from a team’s lineup that struggled offensively that is looking to compete.

I mean, he’s not wrong.

I know right? Lol

I tend to agree with this. I think Didi is more likely (with something else interesting coming out way) if you’re dealing with the Phillies.

He has survived this long and for some reason so far. But yeah, same.

Damn. Well it feels like a matter of time anyway.

https://mobile.twitter.com/hgomez27/status/1460339808295866369 Not sure what this says but get the idea that he signed somewhere else. I don’t really care just looking forward to officially be past Yermin and opening up another roster spot on the 40-man.

Lol poster wasn’t serious. Jesus Christ haha

Tigers sign Eduardo Rodriguez.

Yeah and as (I think) bmags pointed out the other day, there should be more teams looking to compete and spend (not great for teams that rarely spend too dollar like us) than recent off seasons so that may cause some early movement.

Yep. There’s your DH/LF/very occasional RF. I feel like if that is your plan, you need to be left handed at 2B and RF. Conforto and Escobar. Just spend money please.

Yeah I agree with you. A little confusing.

This 1000000%. I don’t know how people give them benefit of the doubt when it comes to spending haha

I’ve been in agreement with Jimmy that it was a mistake to not offer a QO. It will look worse if he signs say a 3 year deal somewhere. edit: someone here with in the pay month or so kicked around him signing a deal like Rich Hill did with the Dodgers where you know he’s going to be hurt at some point but whatever/whenever he pitches he will be good.

Makes sense. Out of all the top middle infield talent out there, he’s one of the older ones at 31 so he won’t require a massive contract like Seager or Correa would.

If he signs a multi year deal then I have to classify it as a failure. We shall see.

Segura is still a solid player. I’m more afraid they will end up with Didi (or another 1-2 year bad salary) in a deal for Kimbrel where it doesn’t make sense.

Exactly. You’d be looking to improve the position in June/July so just improve it now.

In like 6-7 years time

An amount didn’t leak but there was a quote from last season where he basically said implied that he owed it to other pitchers to get paid. I’ll dig up the quote tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.

Yeah, no.

Yep. I’m still fucked over by it.
