There is no path for him unless he moves to the OF.Beni's contract is up after next year and the situation with Murakami is unclear long term. He can fit at 1B/DH or possibly even at 2B long term if they move Meidroth for cost controlled pitching at some point.

With Miller, you could also convert him into the rotation for the next three years.Imagine our bullpen with a resurgent Hicks and Taylor able to move into a setup role. Hicks / Newcomb / Taylor / Miller is a beast.The rotation starts to take shape with Burke / King / Martin as a respectful top three.

In this decade alone, they've already gone over that amount 4 times. Ishbia is paying down the team's debt and team revenue is going to increase with the boost in attendance they're experiencing.That doesn't mean I think it's a sure think that they'll keep Mune beyond next season, but let's not make it sound like his departure is basically a done deal.

July 23Jul 23 You don’t trade for your top prospects for Mason Miller, the best closer in baseball, to convert him into a SP project in years where you plan on contending. None of it makes sense imo
