I think if it were 7 teams, it would have to be one team bye. 6 other teams = 3 move on plus the bye team.

With Snell and Morton gone, Rays might be able to guarantee him spot.

I'll be honest: I want any buy low SP candidate the Rays are interested in.

On the flip side, teams that are fringe playoff teams could look to add to compete (or not) instead of tearing it down and selling off now or at the deadline.

Yes they absolutely should for this season.

I like Cabrera as backup corner IF but this roster needs someone who can play SS, unless you bank on Leury to fill in here and there. If Anderson gets injured though, that could be an issue.

Unless you only played the playoff games in warmer weather areas or domes.

Going back to this, what the hell happened to Scooter Gennett? Did he retire? Is he a guy they could sign to a minor league deal?

I wish Collins had some sort of trade value. Like a starting spot on some rebuilding team that can give him a shot in a C/1B/DH role for like a lottery ticket.

If they don't want to sign Bauer and don't want to spend on anyone else, sign Folty to a minor league deal, sign a catcher to a minor league deal with a $1m salary if he makes the team, and then sign Brad Miller to an MLB deal.

How's the defense these days?

What?

Agreed. Unless its a minor league deal with no opt out date during spring training and he's sticks around as depth.

If he Kopech stays down long enough, it would be the rest of 2021 + 5 years

What does a deal for Marquez look like? Definitely Vaughn and 3 other prospects if the big guys are off the table? Stiever, Thompson, Dalquist on the table?

Ah ok didn't know that. Thanks.

3 according to baseball ref.

It's about to be February and there are virtually no rumors on this guy.

Excellent point.

It can happen in our lifetimes. Jerry's lifetime? Don't hold your breathe.

Holy hell people. Can we let this go? He's gone.

Preach on.

You lost me after 4 words into that paragraph.

Whoooosh!

If it's true that he doesn't want to br platooned, then there's really nothing to be upset about.
