If they want to retain their talent, they'll be breaking the bank soon.
January 24, 20206 yr Cubs signing Souza to an MLB deal; got to figure that puts a small damper on them being Castellanos suitors.

January 27, 20206 yr Haniger out again. This poor kid can't catch a break. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2020/01/23/mitch-haniger-has-setback-will-miss-opening-day/
January 27, 20206 yr Author Doesn't seem like it's been mentioned recently on this site.... but.. Red Sox are still discussing a Mookie Betts trade with the Dodgers and Padres. Pretty crazy from the Padres to be trying this.... Dodgers I fully understand.

With spending the money on Hosmer and Machado, then bringing up tatis so young, they need to improve now.
January 27, 20206 yr Jim Callis interestingly ranked our 3 youngins 1. Eloy 2. Moncada 3.Robert and he "Loves Robert".... How do you guys see it? I'd go 1. Moncada 2. Robert 3. Eloy.

They could have traded him for a Eaton like ransom last offseason but they held onto him in the stupid ass "re tooling" (don't call it a rebuild) so Servais and Dipoto could save face. Now they will be lucky to get 200 PA and a Rutherford type for him in 2020. The Mariners are going to be really bad for a long time. I'd say there's only one team in the AL (Tigers) with a bleaker short and mid term future. Maybe Baltimore or KC are in that pool as well. They have no MLB cornerstones, a middling farm (Kelenic is nice but after that not much star power and their LA ops are even worse than the Sox'), and an ownership that seems content to let the current GM, who he hired to make the playoffs (and didn't) handle the rebuild, er, "re tool".
January 27, 20206 yr I'll be very interested to see what the return was for Marte. If it's mostly just Zac Gallen would you have traded Cease for Marte straight up?

Robert 3. Eloy. I saw that too. He is way more educated in evaluation than I, but I too am Moncada, Robert, Eloy. All 3 are special talents offensively, but if comparing all 3 to each other Eloy's D puts him last. But all 3 are going to be perennial All Stars IMO.
