So he's opting out of 3/$73,450,000. What do you offer him? An even 3/$90,000,000?

Exactly.

Aaaaah that would make sense.

It's the 4-spot. It's not like you're sticking him 6th or 7th.

1. Robert CF 2. Madrigal 2B 3. Moncada 3B 4. Marinez DH 5. Eloy LF 6. Abreu 1B 7. Calhoun RF 8. Anderson SS 9. McCann C No idea what you do with Collins in this scenario as he shouldn't just be relegated to the bench. Unless you straight platoon him McCann or give him about 60% of the catching starts then some starts at 1B and DH when guys have a day off. Edited lineup for those who think the 4-spot is way too low (lol) in the order for Martinez: 1. Robert CF 2. Moncada 3B 3. Marinez DH 4. Eloy LF 5. Abreu 1B 6. Calhoun RF 7. Anderson SS 8. McCann C 9. Madrigal 2B (not a bad way to hand it over to the top)

Been so busy the last few days (helped my parents with some projects on Saturday and had a triple header between my 2 baseball leagues I play in so I've been dead to the world) so I may have missed this. Do you have any links for this?

Calhoun seems like a good fit, but with their history, he definitely comes here and hits like .210, not as many homers as this year. Goes somewhere else and has a similar season to this one lol

Yeah I kinda wondered too. Was someone scratched or skipped? Or did they do it to give everyone extra rest?

SAME

Who's this premium RF you speak of in this year's class?

In the sense that another team hires him rather than Sox just letting him go. I think he would be a great bench coach/infield instructor but he probably wants to manage one day (and I get the sense he would be a guy who would love to bunt).

Those spots are even worse than black holes currently. Whatever that may be. But yeah, it's good to know whoever they add will be an upgrade.

I must applaud this level of trolling.

He's really not that big of a guy. Sure he's tall but everything I've read since they drafted him, as someone who does not watch any minor league games, you would think he was Jake Burger out there.

Yeah it really doesn't take much for a huge upgrade.

Yeah he likely won't get drafted, but you gotta think there are enough rebuilding teams that one might give him a shot as a DH or maybe even try him at 1B. Having said that, it seems his only shot for real MLB at bats here would have been over the last couple of months.

Yep. Can one of the mods take it out back and shoot it please?

The tank.

Except the 2 years in the AL where he had a combined 4 WAR. Not great but would look amazing on this team in RF.

Would still probably play RF better than Palka.

I kinda think this will happen too since they have Baez, Rizzo, and Bryant free agents in the same year. Can't lock up everyone.

Definitely sounds like a Boras client.

You don't think he'd sign an extension if they offered the most money? Bryant was never going to take a discount.

Greg, theres nothing wrong with finding an upgrade and letting Leury take over the utility role. With injuries and days off, he'll still get a solid amount of PT.

Sidenote: Collins seems a lot slimmer compared to what we've read about him over the years.
