So long McCann? Nido was the pitchers preferred choice last year, Alvarez is the future and now we added another? Something has to give.

Pretty sure that isn't the case.
Have a feeling it's likely McCann....but who knows...anything is possible.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

[Nasty_Magician]

Really curious to see what happens here, do all the young guys stay in the minors? Do guys get traded?

Vientos, Baty and Mauricio are all SS/3B. Alvarez is fighting with 3 catchers. Only so many guys can DH. McNeil to left and Canha sits?
