The #DBacks sweeping the Dodgers in 2023 sparked their spending spree…
Would be pretty cool if the #DBacks beat them again in the playoffs in their final run w/ new CBA/Walter selling or jail coming this offseason👀
If I was Hazen rn, here would be my plan offensively
Sell Lourdes and Vargas
DFA Pavin and Barrosa
And make this the offense
1B: Fernandez
2B: Marte
SS: Perdomo
3B: Arenado
LF: Waldschmidt
CF: Lawlar
RF: Carroll
DH: Troy (OF on a rotation with the others)
C: Moreno
29 other teams would play Troy, Waldy, Carroll everyday in the OF w/ Lourdes at DH vs LHP, Groover/Ildemaro/Kepler rotate 1B & DH (Kepler doesn’t play 1B so DH vs RHP)
If the #DBacks would have non tendered Pavin Smith ($2.25M) & didn’t sign Carlos Santana ($2M for 2 hits) the #DBacks could have outpaid Goldy’s $4M he got from NYY and played him everyday!
"I absolutely hate it. This is saying they want college baseball to be the new minor leagues."
@AJPierzynski12 and @ErikKratz31 believe MLB's new amateur player entry proposal is just a cost-saving move.
I really hate that every 3 months there is a hit piece on Ketel Marte. Let’s just leave him alone. He hasn’t caused any drama this year, he’s been available just as much as everyone else.
There is no issue with Ketel Marte.
