That depends on if they overpay or not. Syndergard will be a free agent after the 2021 season. If they are worse after that to be good before then, then that would seem to benefit us.
But whatever we lost in Minor’s last performance we gained in Santana but you’re right we keep him. But have to trade an outfielder to keep room. I’m more sure now we’re trading Probably Mazara.
I disagree. I think you are letting your dislike of the organization blind you. I think keeping really good prospects keeps their window open longer than if they traded them away. Sure they may even be better for a couple more years, but we aren't going to catch them that soon anyway.
Just send Mazara to the NL. He will turn it around and rake somewhere else.
Agree. Very encouraging start for Jurado. Santana has been the most consistent player this season. Really nice game.
Yep, it was a huge mistake letting him get away.
I think another factor in all of that was he waited until the last minute to serve his punishment when he had the opportunity to get it out of the way earlier and be back for the stretch run, some folks viewed this as him being "selfish"
Tanking and rebuilding can be completely different. In a full blown rebuild winning doesn't have to be the enemy. It just should be down on the list of priorities. If a trade helps in the future, but costs you wins presently it should be no big deal. If we had traded Choo in the offseason and replaced him with Calhoun full time and that costs us a few wins then so be it. It is simply placing team building and experience for younger players ahead of winning the most games. It is like saving for the future even though it means going out to eat less often.
