December 27, 20196 yr Marisnick or one of the losers in the Mets' outfield battle would be a decent pick-up. Nimmo, J.D. Davis and Conforto are expected to be the starters. They also have Domonic Smith and Cespedes (all the Cubans, if they come with a huge salary subsidy).

The Mets just traded for Marisnick and he’s a terrible hitter. I would hope we do better than him as a righty OF option.

December 27, 20196 yr Honestly, platooning Engel and using only against lefties / as a defensive replacement would be similar and cheaper to Pillar.

I'd prefer an upgrade, obviously, but I don't really think Pillar is an upgrade. Maybe Hunter Pence?
December 27, 20196 yr They are not signing Puig. Puig is all fake smoke. Any addition will come via trade if at all. The Red Sox need to reduce about 15-20 million to get under tax.

Maybe Hunter Pence? I’d prefer a guy who can still play some CF and RF. I doubt he can play CF but how is Pence’s RF defense these days?

Pretty bad, he's old and he was never a stellar defender. He can fake it, though. I guess it depends on what the money looks like. Engel is practically free, at least for one more season, and a good defender, which are the only points in his favor.

Timmy’s tweet was a load of crap, just like 90% of his tweets. 3 minutes ago, CWSpalehoseCWS said: Betts makes zero sense too. Yep, Hahn isn’t stupid enough to trade young talent for one year of Betts’ services.
