Yeah I don’t want to know what it would take.

They still owe Cano $48M over the next two years and have a few guys like JD Davis & Dom Smith who can rotate through there.  I’d be pretty surprised if they signed a $20M AAV OF, but you never know with Cohen at helm.

Yeah, by no means do I think it would be a "slam dunk" that NYM would or that they wouldn't want to re-sign Conforto.

Its just that when a boomer opens his piehole like Showalter did, its worth noting. Especially given the universal DH, and whatever trading NYM will do...

 

...that is, whenever the lockout ends.

At this point, I am not even going to think about transactions until we have a fucking game to watch.  Pretty disgusted rn tbh.

I’d rather have Castellanos in RF than a Vaughn / Sheets, but no idea why you’d prioritize him over Conforto.

I have a feeling a lot more teams are after Conforto, as he will get fewer years.  He might be wise to take up Colorado’s interest and get a shorter-term deal and put up big numbers.

Does Castellanos have a QO?

He opted out of his contract so I don’t think so

Just went through all the free agents again. Couple thoughts:

- I can't believe Billy McKinnie is only 27.

- Man Tauchmann had a horrible, horrible year last year. Crazy after he was traded how much better we were with Brian Goodwin.

- Wild how Albert Almora went from a pretty consistently high 17% k rate guy to 31% krate but didn't improve in power or anything.

- What's left is like a rick hahn jubilee of powerful corner outfield types. I imagine his reaction to this market is like if someone logged on late to their fantasy draft and can't believe there are still all the defense and kickers left.

I wouldn’t complain because his bat is so good, but this would essentially be adding another guy who should be a DH to a team that already has way too guys who should be DH’s.

Say no to shitty defenders, Rick. 

If we are willing to sign Castellanos, why not just get Bryant who is better defensively and more versatile? makes no sense

Personally I’d prioritize Conforto, Bryant, & Castellanos in that order.

I’d imagine Castellanos wouldn’t require a 4+ year commitment so that probably has appeal to this FO(owner). 

Sign Conforto, sign Tepera, trade Kimbrel for whatever clears his salary, sign a 2B, bring back sleeveless jersey as an alternate.
