I'm not counting on it working. I'm also not giving up prospects in case it doesn't work. That's what I'm saying. Just how many prospects cam a low spending team give up?
At this level, I think people are over thinking taxes as an issue. I think guys want the biggest gross number when we are talking over 200 million. I really think people here over complicate this stuff.
You can have one elite player, or two joey Gallo's and a guy close to the veteran minimum....
There sure are a lot of people in this board with inside information! That know what's happening!
I'm utterly stunned by this development. Everything else is made up conjecture.
Martin is not playing short in the majors. Lewis and Lee are already off him. Put him in left or center or at second. They are not seeing him up for success this way. Put your players in the best possible position for success.
If they can get Adames, they should. He's under control for three more years (or two, not sure. If two, then I don't trade for him).
This is a fine set of ideas. I don't like Eovoldi as much as some here do, but I get why some do.
I feel like this is me on this site every day. I don't love all their moves, but they aren't all fireable offenses and the worst thing to happen to MN sports since (I won't name that for everyone's sake).
Logic is out the window about Gallo. Good luck changing anyone's mind (mine and at least two others have changed, so it isn't a lost cause).
I have no idea if he's going to rebound, but he's much better than people on this board are giving him credit for.
That's realistic!
I also think they keep Kepler on the roster. The OF D would be great for sure. By June you are looking at either dealing vets, or trading prospects to get even better (if they are healthy and over achieve).
