Jerry already basically said they can’t keep Kirby and Gilbert, so might likely it will be one of them if they try to trade for a star player.Nifty. Who are we going to get to replace Teo with if refuses a qualifying offer? I'm betting owners sphincters will tighten up profoundly for anything over $16 mill to replace him, and that will lead Dipshitzo to buy 2 "5 tool" players (by whatever bizarro definition floats around in his head) instead. One of them will probably be Ty France's replacement as well because why upgrade first base beyond that $4 mill threshold, right? Diputzo has made it clear that the only thing he values less than a good defensive (or offensive) 1B is a closer.
And I don't want any of the dumbshits in the FO trading any pitching whatsoever. Anything they wheeler-deal for will make the team worse because they simply don't know what they're doing outside of farming pitching prospects.
Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.
