Fielder Jones Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Probably a topic many of you will laugh off or not even click into. But it's possible he could go somewhere if we take back a similarly bloated contract. He's owed money for two more years but the second year is slightly lighter. I wonder also if we would still have some spending room for this coming year, and we could use it on this kind of trade, take back more money than we're giving out, and thus take back some goodies from the other team to make it worthwhile. We've shown we'll take your posthype/blocked prospects. Cardinals and Red Sox have helpful hitters they could be trying to get rid of. Yoshida for one could be someone who is a Mune buddy. Arizona Eduardo Rodriguez is a similar bad contract. To do these i think to be attractive in this kind of thing we financially have to give a little extra, but we are behaving a little differently than years' past so ..who knows. What destinations have (1) a bad contract to give us back, but also (2) -- and this is tougher to find -- actually have a need for anything Beni provides? LH/mostly DH?

Fielder Jones Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Could also do it the other way where another team takes money but we load it up with sweeteners going the other way. Like if Boston loves Sosa, for instance. Or if someone likes Ramos or something else i'm not seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukakke Appling Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I can’t really envision a scenario this off-season where he gets traded, but if he can be an average hitter or better in the first half I can see a desperate team trading for him.

Chicago White Sox Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Phillies might consider dealing Castellanos for him, but that would only save us $12M overall in the long-run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benintendi for Taijuan Walker would be great, but not sure the Phillies would do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, he’s their platoon DH It's remarkable how bad he is in a small LF at G-Rate. He is mildly useful as a bat, but his terrible LF defense means he's a 1 WAR player at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we releasing him? He put up positive production this last season, and he's relatively cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Not that the Dodgers need any help financially, but Benintendi for Treinen or Tanner Scott would make sense here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather give 100% of his PA to someone like Brooks. He's also a butcher but he's also got some pop and is 25 with some development left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I can recall making a case for Benny, post signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
