@JMackey_PGH What does the lineup look like against LH starters? Does OHearn go to 1st and Ozuna DH? How much runway does he have left?

@Dejan_Kovacevic Not to mention, beyond the direct salary benefits from the rank and file players, there are other benefits that can be utilized such as a shorter path to FA or higher pre-arb pools that can still be utilized to make the deal even better for players

@garymo2007 Agree, not to mention it doesn’t have to be a hard cap and floor necessary like the NHL, there can be rollover rules like in the NFL or a soft upper cap in the NBA. There are creative solutions to a cap system but the MLBPA does not want to see the benefits the system provides

@_NoahHiles Gotta scour the waiver wire for some additional middle relief help now and hope Jones and O’Hearn return in good form but I genuinely think this is a pretty solid ball club all things considered

@UrinatingTree “And Tyler Myers and Lyubushkin have term beyond this year?”
“That’s correct Dave”

@Dejan_Kovacevic Another Stan Bowman disasterclass in roster construction

@HunterHodies They need a Time Machine to 2023 to not let Holloway and Broberg out the door

@j_a155 JSI to the rescue 🙄

[Chris Mascetta @ChrisMascetta]

@_NoahHiles @BuccoTerritory Are there enough internal options to put together a consistently solid bullpen group? If not, do you believe that they will seek help externally (waiver wire/trade/FA)

@JFreshHockey Don’t fire the guy who does the acquisition, drafting and hiring for the Pens that’s about the only lesson for Toronto

@jmarshfof Can we replace current Letang with prime Letang?

[Chris Mascetta @ChrisMascetta]

@TonyAndrock Have you heard anything about Cruz Lucius? I was wondering why he hadn’t signed yet. Thanks for your coverage!

[Chris Mascetta @ChrisMascetta]

@__Murphy88 Not sure they could have picked a more compelling roster if they tried!

@ThePoniExpress Stick to football you’re out of your depths here

[Chris Mascetta @ChrisMascetta]

If Nashville falls apart before the deadline, what about Ryan O Rilley as a potential deadline add? I’m sure he’d cost a decent amount but with the extra year on his deal maybe that scares some other contenders off?

[Chris Mascetta @ChrisMascetta]

@j_a155 You’re probably right, either way I think Whitecloud is the perfect fit as the 3rd pair RD
