I hate the idea of selling low on him, particularly when DH will be open full-time next year assuming Abreu walks. Me too but it clears some payroll and the log jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell the guys you can sell to make yourself better, fill a couple holes for next year in the process, change the entire coaching staff, and give it your best shot. I don't disagree.

Pretty much their only option for any sort of flexibility is salary dumping Eloy or non-tendering Giolito. They absolutely cannot bring back Abreu.

You have a better chance at TLR being fired again by Jerry than them letting Gio leave for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Lucas makes sense as a trade candidate, but I can't envision Hahn/KW/Jerry signing off on any deal that makes the 2023 team worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have space to bring Abreu back especially since they will push their salary limits for him, you know that. They won’t have space to make themselves better using FA though.
