Well some of the moves will affect who and how many prospects we add to the 40 and I think we will see some trades and DFA’s to make such things easy. I may be wrong but I think those moves have to be set and those prospects added by that date.
Yes, but that usually only results in a few releases. There is more room for additions this year and less that need to be added so even those moves will be minor, I would think. As far as free agent signings and big trades, those usually take a few weeks to develop.
Could be
That would be pretty fantastic. That would be a potentially dominant bullpen.
In a perfect world we would shore up the pen and sign Montgimery, but I doubt that can happen.
Might as well.
That's a good point, at least when it comes to upgrading the pen via free agency, which is why I'm open to making trades for pen help in a scenario where we brought back Monty.
Bradford has really impressed me. He actually reminds me of Dunning in a way - by mainly being a guy who generates outs via weak contact rather than being a big strikeout guy.
To many farm guys don't work out. Go w/Monty and 2-3 via trade. Can't lose Monty.
There is a third option as well. Sign another free agent starting pitcher along with Hader, and trade for 2 relievers.
It most likely will be mlb players who are traded for relievers if that happens. You might sweeten the pot with a young guy, but teams with big league relievers are going to most likely want big league players in return. Not scrub big league players either. Quality for quality.
That's true. In that scenario who would be on your radar? Thinking big like a frontline starter (Snell, for example), or more mid rotation or depth?
Lots of guys are available. The guy from Japan sounds great.
The online roster still shows 34 as they still have Austin Hedges listed. Lol. He is like that bad uncle who just won't go away.
That would be awesome. He's drawing comparisons to Yu Darvish.
