If you believe neither one can hit enough to play 1B, I guess it makes sense to deal one if you can get like an OF or something you need of equal value.

Yeah, when that option gets picked up, I expect him to be the starting CF in 2026. I don't think any team will offer more than they were in July. I hope I am wrong.

Yeah I would bet my house that they pick up the option.

Wait a minute…

It made sense to non-tender him when they did. Did not make sense to not QO him after that one great year when he was a free agent.

Or Vaughn just reverted back to we thought he was.

We sorted it out. They non-tendered him after 2020 when his era was over 8. Didn’t offer QO in 2021.

Rodon wasn’t good the year they non-tendered him. Are you talking about the QO? If so, you’re bringing back enraged feelings of why they didn’t offer a QO at the time.

Won’t it be even more embarrassing not picking up the option?

This just makes no sense. They would have traded him for anything if they were just going to let him go for nothing.

Narrator: he did not

Free agency isn’t looking too good so hopefully some team thinks they are a Robert away and they overpay.

Agreed, no matter how he finishes. I think it’s more likely he’s our CF next year than traded in the offseason.

Hopefully he can stay on the field the rest of the season

That's why people are saying the Friday off after the opener (the whole reason why they do that is incase OD is PPD) is weird.

2027*

Right. Just place the Friday Saturday Sunday.

If that was possible at all, they would have dealt him for the best offer.

Yeah noticed that as well

I meant, I think the hot streak made them up the package they wanted in a trade. Not just a "we'll take him for the best offer" which seemed like it was going to happen for months. Picking up the option, there still isn't a guarantee he will be on the team next year.

I think his hot streak the few weeks leading up to the deadline changed things

If he ends up moving to 1B more fulltime going forward, we gotta see more power. He's been improving so hopefully we see it.

Hope he hits for the next month, pick up the option, try to trade him. If you can’t, then he’s your CF.

Yeah it’s not like they’re going from 65 wins to 85 wins. They’re going from “historically awful” to “still really bad”

Not talking about this specific but just in general
