Squirmin' for Yermin

No, it was always expected that he would play through it and then have surgery after the season

WORTH IT

ehhh. Belichek was a part of MULTIPLE large cheating scandals...

I for one didn't bash the Astros too much because I use my own brain and assume many teams (if not most) were also cheating in similar fashions.. They just got caught. I want Hinch.

What did he say?

I'm all on Hinch. But, there are many good other candidates.

Rich Hahn: "Our ideal candidate is someone who has recent championship experience" Enter AJ Hinch

The next manager will likely bring their own "team".. so yes

I'll take Hinch, Cora, Beltran... Fuck it LOL

LET'S GOOOO

People like Zaleski right?

You've lost it haha

Eaton would be great.. People are literally starting to clamor for Jackie Bradley Jr.. In 2019 Eaton still put up a .365 OBP.. He's a lefty bat, with good OBP and with good defense. He'd be a good, relatively cheap, option. I'd be for it assuming the clubhouse passes on it.. 1 year 10 million with a club option for 15 million. 2/25.

Kind of like Betts? Oh wait....

Just based on stats, it looks like he has really good bat to ball skills.. Great K rate, good walk rate. High average, some speed and some pop. Young at 24.. Can you play RF LOL

This is a fun hot take.. well done.

When Abreu's contract is up, Eloy will move to DH, Vaughn full time 1B... Until that time I HOPE Abreu and Vaughn split 1B duties at the very least.

This is exactly what I see too.. Have him start all year in the minors. Get 80+ innings and then bring him up in September for the playoffs in the bullpen. He'd then get to around 100 innings

Conforto would be absolutely perfect. Good D, Good Bath and a LH hitter.. He's the perfect fit.. You HAVE to accept Cease if that's what they want.

I think he goes to the minors to "stretch out".. Has he ever pitched more than 60 innings?

I dont think a 125 million deal is classified as a "big fish".. But based on the last two offseasons, I don't think that range is out of their comfort zone now.. Obviosuly they have to like the Springer fit

I think I would do a Cease for Conforto deal in a heartbeat.. If we are willing to pony up a contract.

Is his defense still stellar? I wouldn't HATE a platoon of him and Engel ASSUMING we spend big on starting pitching and bullpen

Why? I predict 4 years for 100 million.. That shouldn't knock us out imo Someone may give him a 5th for 125.. But either way.. Sign me up

The best two players in that deal are Cubs players....
