Bob Sacamano

Yep

That would be an overpay, yes. And Robert would see 4/$40M as an underpay and want to prove he can do better. I really don’t know how you aren’t grasping this and it’s on you at this point.

Hell of a Make-A-Wish

That’s how I’m leaning but hope to be wrong

Well, what can we get for just Robert then. Like to use as a benchmark.

Robert + Sosa + reliever (or Houser idc) to Mets gets you what?

You’re right. Who wouldn’t want to play for a team heading to their 3rd straight 100-loss season instead of a perennial contender!

He’s better off taking a 1-year, at least $10M offer somewhere and proving he’s the guy that people think he can be to try to get a better multi-year deal than you tossed out.

Robert hangs up and says: “are they fuckin serious?”

There’s just no reason for him to accept that. If a team buys out his option next year, he’ll sign a 1-year pillow deal to rebuild value. Plus like I said, I doubt he really wants to be here anymore.

Yeah he should be gone. Honestly, Michael Taylor can find himself on an a competitive team's bench looking to improve their 4th OF spot. I actually saw the Cubs as a suggestion since their backup CF is currently Vidal Brujan.

Haha I think once guys are moved (every day and bench players), we'll see Sabol up serving as the 3rd catcher, getting both Q and Teel in the lineup every day.

Yeah they've gotta do something since it seems like Chase is the guy at 2B (covering SS to get Sosa in the lineup). Could always listen to offers and if they don't move him, maybe see if he can learn LF.

So Colson at SS is just punted for now or what?

Thought that the start time was weird compared to past games in Tampa but then remembered its outdoors. They probably need to start that late (7:35) since it would be so hot otherwise.

Please please please please stay healthy and productive over the next 10 days.

I just don’t see why he would take that. I’m sure Robert is eager to gtfo and get a fresh start anywhere else.

So you want to keep him just to bench him? Trade him now.

Yeah. Like they’ll get returns for most guys, but not getting much.

Yeah, I love his bat, but doesn’t really have a position going forward, unless they stick with Colson at 3B and Chase at SS. But Vargas should still get most of the reps at 3B rather than 1B.

Agreed and I pointed this out when he was signed. That he doesn’t need a platoon guy against LHP

Yep. They need innings from someone after the trade deadline too so good timing.

I really like Plesac

Prob not. I feel like they need a RHH 4th OF that can play CF

Tauchman and Houser. Do it
