Gallo would have fit perfectly in my plan for them to go 0-162 this year but then they went out and signed a player that's actually decent.  Damn. 

Trade Liam,get a 2ndbaseman and a catcher that can throw and actually catch and call it an off-season

What are you hearing bro?

I read they might go internal for 2B, but imo they need another impact LH bat. I expect Liam to be traded for Jansen but I want them to get Busch from LAD.

Bring that glove on in here Benny.

This is a very fair and honest take.  Benintendi is not a perfect fit for us, but at the same time he does add much needed lineup balance and fills a massive hole with 2+ win production.  In terms of free agency, the only player available at the moment I think would have been a better singing was Conforto and he comes with more risk plus you have the Boras factor that could drag things out.

I’m not doing cartwheels in the streets over this and I definitely wish our LF was more of a power bat, but this move makes us better and we still have our prospect currency to make another move to enhance the offense.

It’s true this is the best of the situation, just obnoxious the solution is always “well sort the free agent list by left field and see who we can sign”

I still would like them to sign a SP that is a decent enough swing man. Can not rely on Lynn, Giolito, Kopech to be healthy all season. And we saw what happened when they weren't and we starting guys like Velasquez, Martin, etc. (Lopez was solid as a spot starter, but depending on what happens with Liam he might be closing).

They’ve always liked Garrett Richards.

They were allowed to offer Machado 300 million and Wheeler 120+ so I disagree with your assessment.

They were not allowed to offer Manny Machado $300 million.

I’m just not sure how they get another starter with a major league deal on the roster. The 13/13 rule is tough.

I’ll never stop believing that Aaron Sanchez will be good. He’ll be like 50 and I’ll want to sign him. He’s my new folty, who was my new Danny Salazar, who was my new Henderson Alvarez 

I also extremely want to sign Tyler danish back. If we can’t have Rodon we need danish back.

They can’t. But they should target some backend SP depth with options in any trades they may make. 

So is the message to Eloy you’re now pretty much a full time DH, or is Eloy on his way out?

Almost certainly the former. He's their best power bat and should now be healthier. 

They really need 30+ HRs from him this year.

No and I think the front office soured on Madrigal pretty quickly once he entered the organization and Hostetler lost influence.  As such, I doubt they would ever bring him back.  Sounds like he’s a weird clubhouse guy too.

TLR was a weird clubhouse guy and we brought him back.?

He was basically a DH when he returned so can’t be a shock to him. And he raked. 
 

54 out of 84 games at DH.

Full-time DH.  And honestly, he hit well enough there last year (138 wRC+) to make the move permanent.

I don't think they're gonna trade Hendriks.

Good news here!

 

Sincerely happy there.

I was happy until I saw it was Bruce Levine reporting it.

f*** yeah. Just not liking the offers?

Would be hilarious if the real answer was “we don’t have to, but we are going to to gain favor for some future flexibility”.

How are they going to get catching then?

Gonna move TA to C

I don’t view it as a need given we have to give Grandal a shot at 18 mil. If Pedro severino or someone would take a Milb deal, that would be helpful
