My worry is it is the catcher we drafted #1 last year. I know you can't trade a guy until a year (I believe) after he is drafted. So if not him, someone in last years draft class is my guess.

Yeah... that would suck. The ESPN dude has him as the 97th ranked overall prospect at 18... feels like this would be selling really low for that.

Still plenty of money to spend

Winker was a first-time All-Star in 2021, slugging a career-high 24 home runs with a .305/.394/.556 batting line. The slugger Suárez went deep 31 times last year and hit 49 homers in 2019, though he struck out 189 times.

I think this is Boras trying to manipulate some money out of another team.

Probably Kelanic for the time being, unless Rodriguez makes the starting roster... Kyle Lewis could eventually be our DH with how much he gets hurt...

 

[ulmax]

an still add Story or Bryant, plus a Frontline SP.

story..and a front line pitcher...with suarez...unless bryant can Cf...i guess..

or maybe..kelenic..will..cf...what it looks like right now..right..or trammell..or julio..

Very concerning. I just want an additional plan in place which doesn't hinge on getting or not getting Bryant.


Best free agent option for sure. I wouldn't go too crazy on spending for him though. A fair price, sure.

Not sure if I would, but can't argue against that either. Now Bryant way better option than giving up anything in our top 10 list for Chapman that is for sure.

My guess is we end up with McNeil and Smith from Mets in a deal. McNeil works at 3B and Smith gives us the LH outfielder Dipoto wants. I am not saying this is my wish, but I just think it will be our Plan F and we end up with it.

Well it looks like our "additional plan in place" was Eugenio Suarez.

He has hit .199 the last two years combined and committed 38 errors last year. I'm really hoping they plan on flipping him to an NL team who needs a DH.

 

[seahawksfan234]

That's depressing.

You beat me to posting this.

Given the fact that he can't hit lefties to save his life I'm wondering if they're going to platoon him - if so with who? - or if they're just gonna roll with him full time.
