The Athletic's Expansion Draft
This would be fun to do in a video game like MLB the Show. Pick off guys at the back end of the 26 man rosters.. sounds fun,.

Rodon Contract Value
He will sign for 4 years 60 million is my guess. I would sign him to it, with the way he continues to pitch. At the very least you offer the QO. The only way to make it work though would be to trade Keuchel as a salary dump (likely), since Kopech will need to be in the rotation.

Romy Gonzalez called up
Leury also has a TON of just bad at bats sonsistently, more than anyone i can remember.

Romy Gonzalez called up
If Cesar continues 2020 as he has in 2020, you will not be able to trade him. 6 million isn't some great steal for an aging .704 OPS hitter

Romy Gonzalez called up
I thought they could be if they were in the organization already? AKA can't use a waiver claim, but could use Romy.. I probably am wrong though lol Found this: As mentioned, players acquired via trade in September are not eligible for their new team, and the same goes for those signed as free agents during that time. However, if a club wants to add a player who was not on the 40-man roster but was in the organization, it can petition the Commissioner's Office if that player is replacing someone who has been on the 60-day DL for at least 60 days. One notable example of this was pitcher Brandon Finnegan, who appeared in every stage of the 2014 postseason for the Royals despite the fact that he was not added to the 40-man roster until Kansas City purchased his contract from its Double-A club on Sept. 1 of that year.

Romy Gonzalez called up
I have been clamoring for this but would have never expected it. Is he going to get a chance to start a bit?

Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
I would be okay, with calling him up in September and seeing what happens lol.

Dear Tony (regarding Cesar)
You're dilusional.

Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
The Hernandez trade was perplexing at the time, and still is. I didn't think he was a drastic improvement over Leury, and it's appearing that may be so. He needs to bat 9th, then it's fine/whatever.

Dear Tony (regarding Cesar)
He's never been a power hitter.

Owners propose 180m luxury tax, 100m salary floor
I like a 100 million salary floor. It'll instantly make teams more competitive. make tanking much harder.

Owners propose 180m luxury tax, 100m salary floor
A salary floor is absolutely needed

Glad to see Vaughn sitting against a lefty and both Goodwin and Lamb playing. That's just good managing.

Kimbrel’s Option
By the time he would be worked up to having any legitimate innings, and no inning cap he'd have what, 2 years remaining on his contract? He absolutely should have been in Charlotte working as a SP going 3-5 innings a start and then been called up in September as a bullpen piece, This shouldve gotten him to around 100 innings. He will be at 60ish innings this year. Next year, likely the kopech plan, so 80 innings, then we start him and he works his way up to 120, then 160 the next year, then 2 years left before FA... Not hard to see why he will be a reliever because of the way we handled it. If this was our plan, then that was a bad pick at #11. I have to imagine this wasn't our plan but Tony demanded he be in the bullpen.

Kimbrel’s Option
Because of the way we've handled Crochet, his career will be a relief pitcher. I am sure his value in trade is affected
