October 2, 20205 yr 13 hours ago, fathom said: Agreed, but does that seem like something Jerry would do? Typically no, but you have to wonder if he looks at this group as his last great hope before he dies.

October 2, 20205 yr Rodon should be non-tendered regardless. Can’t trust him in any role, and there are better pitchers than him anyway. He can go to Pittsburgh, Colorado, or Baltimore. I like the Odorizzi idea for free agency. Edited October 2, 20205 yr by flavum

He was a fantastic pitcher and still pretty good 2019 but I'm scared of a 36 year old with a shoulder injury. As a cheap reclamation project sure but not as a guy you rely on. To be honest I just want to be done with this sort of thing. I'm tired of mid-30's coin flips. I realize 1 year deals are sometimes needed to round out the rotation and the older guys tend to fit that mold but I don't think it ever works for us and there have to be slightly younger options available that aren't just injury risks. Wasn't Collin McHugh available last year? Edited October 2, 20205 yr by KonerkoFan1

I just don’t believe Quintana is plan A unless they plan to pursue a big-time RF like Springer and I don’t see that happening.

I just don’t believe Quintana is plan A unless they plan to pursue a big-time RF like Springer and I don’t see that happening. I really think they will be limited in budget and will make a starting pitcher priority A. i think they know they can live with a bad RF way more than they can live without another quality starting pitcher.

No but I'd be super happy to get one of Bauer or Stroman and add Q as well. Think that would be about as good a result as we could hope for. Edited October 2, 20205 yr by KonerkoFan1 Typo

October 2, 20205 yr You have to go all in for Bauer. That said, ya, Q seems like the right answer. Edited October 2, 20205 yr by Rowand44
October 2, 20205 yr 11 hours ago, Balta1701 said: jfc. I'm doing the embedding for you. Rodon did a post-game interview after he (unfairly, I will say) was put into the game in Cleveland with bases loaded and blew it. He said it was all on him, and anytime you are called on as a Major Leaguer, you need to get the job done. Now, I know it's an interview, but he did say it. So, ASHLEY, why don't you stop fighting your husband's battles on Twitter (what are you, the US president?) and let him either A) defend himself or B) admit he screwed up (which he actually did, and completely contradicts your asinine tweet).

Agree. And there should be ways to add a RF on the cheap that can platoon with Engel and give you league average production. Adding the best starter possible needs to be the priority when it comes to our resources.

It wouldn't shock me if our biggest moves this winter were trades. it is so impossible to know what this offseason brings in terms of budget and spending.

Quintana is getting a $10M+ per year deal, so I don’t think it’s realistic to expect him in addition to a high-end starter.

I think Kopech only goes if it’s a deal for someone like DeGromm. But given the size of his contract, I’d rather just sign Baeur and keep Kopech for the back of the rotation.
