so who do we have if an OF gets hurt? Junior Perez?

DFA’ing two outfielders, including a 25 year old?

It’s fairly obvious at this point that Getz ran out of time at the trade deadline and mismanaged the roster. I don’t think this can be denied at this point. He was obviously trying to eliminate the roster crunch by moving Pereira/Hays in some deals before the deadline but failed to do so.

Giving up on a career .282/.340/.477 against LHP you sunk $6M into for nothing when you struggle against LHP is head scratching to say the least.

Have you already forgotten the sensational Rikuu Nishida? 😄

The problem is more the roster slots, versus the players.

Getz off-season FA MLB additions so far:

Hays - DFA'ed
Seranthony - Given away as if he was worth zero
Reese McGuire - Released
Fedde - (-.3 fWAR with a 5.4 FIP)

Murakami - Obviously great, but a reminder that he fell into their laps
Kay - .8 fWAR with a 4.8 FIP (I'd call this a solid signing even though I'm not a fan of Kay's. He's definitely covered some innings and given them a chance to win games.)

Our World Class GM that has "earned" the benefit of the doubt!

And we went into that offseason without expecting anything better than a 3rd place finish… at best.

I sure hope his next offseason is better.

All depends on when they agree to a new CBA and set parameters. Plus what JR allows him to do.

Yea, this coming offseason is likely going to be hell and will for sure include a ton of “if’s”
