Fuck it, offer Cruz a higher AAV than Minnesota for this year and then do the Bobby Bonilla treatment. Give him like $2 million a year for the next 10 years instead of a guaranteed 2nd year.
If Semien signs with them to play 3B, that moves Donaldson to DH and there is no spot for Cruz. Unless they want Semien to play SS, but I don’t know what would happen to Polanco then.
If Orlando has a million fans I am one of them. If Orlando has ten fans I am one of them. If Orlando has no fans, that means I am no longer on Earth. If the world is against Orlando, I am against the world. I love Orlando till my last breath.
Hypothetically, would you guys prefer Cruz for like $12 million and a guy like Archer for $3 million or Garrett Richards for $8 million and La Stella for $7 million?
How much longer will 1B realistically be covered though? Jose is great right now but we don’t know how many years he has left. Trading Vaughn for anything less than a legit ace would be a bad move.
