Trade Jeffers for whatever you can get. If we are in it on July 30th add a couple mid level bullpen arms. If we are out of it, trade Bell and Rogers for lottery tickets.
There's no reason to go full sell mode or trade top 10 prospects for a likely pipe dream this year.
We know this how? If he goes through arbitration next year and makes ~$12 million, and then $25 million/year the next 3 years as a free agent, that's still less than a 4/$92 extension.
He's awful at SS. The only value he had was his bat and he's OPS'ing .500 the last month. There's zero reason to have him on the roster over Arcia/Culpepper and even less excuse for playing him every day.
Bell is who he is. He will go back to April/May Bell eventually. I don't hate holding onto Larnach but they have such a glut of corner OF and now they're probably converting Keashall there too. They probably end up non-tending him in November so they should trade him if there's anything more than a lottery ticket being offered.
This series kind of showed the folly of going all in for this year. They're not awful but they're nowhere near a playoff team. I would split the difference and trade Jeffers, Bell and maybe Larnach but try to add some controllable bullpen help and hold Buxton and Ryan and focus on trying to win in 2027.
He's not a good defender. Two weeks in St Paul won't make him one. I do think they should try Royce at 3B, Lee at 2B and Keashall at 1B.
Long-term Keahshall may end up a bench player in a Willi Castro role.
