They weren’t at the same level the entire time. Plus, in AA where you have a bigger roster, they were alternating at C and DH every day when they were. If they don’t alternate on a game to game basis, one will be sitting.

They shouldn’t do something dumb for the sake of doing something haha

Yep

Hasn’t Getz said Benni is going to DH more? It sure seems like it’ll be 2 catchers. I don’t like that idea but yeah, it would probably be a platoon with Quero getting some ABs against righties (it would be unavoidable with days games after night games and more righties).

I’d rather play Kelenic and Baldwin for those few weeks/month

Why

It would be cool

He also kind of looks like the kid from that Wednesday show

Yeah teams do this to give themselves flexibility during the rest of the offseason.

I really wish they would just hand an OF mitt to Sosa and just play him in LF

Yeah. As of right now, it feels like it’s “his job to lose.”

Jimmy also dropped that nugget the other day that pitchers don’t like throwing to Lee

Bingo. A 24-year old switch hitter who’s also apparently good defensively with 2 options just went for nothing. Maybe Lee moves for fringe 40-man guy during Spring Training at best. Edit: meant option, not years of control

Yeah I don’t agree at all. Lee isn’t really going to bring back anything of value, if he is even traded.

Yeah he seems like he’s just a placeholder until Cole and Rodon come back.

He chose to be nicer to everyone else

I wouldn’t sweat him taking a 1 one year deal. Think they’d be happy to have him back

He’s still good defensively. For the price, I think he’s fine. I still feel like they need to add another bat somewhere though so he’s at least hitting in the bottom third of the order.

Cards are sending $26M over (DBacks pay $5M in ‘26 and $6M in ‘27) and getting back an 8th round pick from last year.

Giants: May we interest you in a lightly used Lenyn Sosa?

His WAR in order since 2022: 4.2, 5.5, 3.7, 6.2. I wouldn’t worry about it.

They could, at the very least, offer a QO at the end of the 2026 season if they hold onto him so there is still value in keeping him. Guy is still a good player even if he doesn’t replicate 6.2 WAR season.

For me? I feel like it might be better.

Would be a real shame if attendance decreased…..wait

Seems like they’ll keep him in a utility role (at bats to go around with rotating DH maybe and guys like Swanson, Happ, Bregman 32 or over. Plus, he can slide ride into 2B if/when they don’t resign Hoerner.
