Really depends on how much control they have left. Rental for this year, you're probably right. A guy with at least another year of control, those teams that are tanking would likely rather hold on and try to trade next year, especially if the offers are fringey guys.

Lol reminds me a political poll.

No way. Has to be really cheap. More games PPD today. I'm still not convinced this season finishes.

I'm 29 now and have watched and played baseball my whole life. I don't really need much from a broadcast team. They are fine. Only so much you can talk about over the course of a season.

Wouldn't have hated Mercedes as a late inning pinch hitter (against lefties for Mazara?) but he just doesn't have a position.

Wow...bad luck but that was pretty cool.

They can non-tender him. Or tender him a contract and trade him or release him in spring training.

Pretty much what we will be looking at.

I'm actually ok with the bolded. Especially if the league expands to 32 teams soon.

Pretty sure there's a thread already.

Madrigal is so good defensively he's playing 2nd and 3rd?

I mean, there's sort of this thing called a pandemic going on in the world...

Early overreaction much?

Absolutely not. Anderson needs to catch.

Yep. The way I see it, if he doesn't improve over the next 2 years, he's the DH when Abreu leaves (who should switch to permanent DH next year when Vaughn is eventually called up).

I would never throw anything over the plate to Robert.

I wouldn't say "platoon" meaning he would have a large chunk of at bats against either lefties or righties but I think he is acceptable on the bench.

Counting the first game, probably true.

True.

Waiting until Friday is what, 7 days? Does anyone know how many days exactly he needs be off the roster?

What would he do differently about the shitty starting pitching?

Lottery tickets maybe. Which is fine in this season for guys that will be free agents in a couple months.

Dude is definitely a DH long-term (after Abreu's deal is over).

Scared to pitch to Nicky here!

I don't think he is being literal here. Just that he's not a guy with a perfect bill of health in his career.
