@JoshuaHowsam He’s gonna be a 7WAR player this year… likely similar for the next couple at least. That surplus value will offset the decline most likely.
@TodayJays@betwaycanada Multi inning relief guy out of ST.
Gaus, Bassitt, Berrios, Bowden and likely a FA will be ahead of him.
Bloss in AAA to start the year.
@MarshaIIZach End of the day if he gives us 30+ starts of 4.00ERA ball next season there’s real value in that.
Definitely not ideal for a #2 but covering ~200IP will be needed.
@GuruLakers A key difference is Reese will get 4 rebounds leading to 2 points (if any) in a single possession. She’s essentially giving her team the benefit a single OReb should have by getting 3 or 4 of them in a possession.
@gingersnaphyde@spen______ To have such a seemingly nothing burger be the literal first time in MLB history is pretty shocking.
I would have thought this had happened for sure in the past at some point.
@MarshaIIZach Really not too concerned about him for next year. If he had 3-4 more years left I would be.
I still think he goes out and gives 180+ IP and a ~3.8-4 ERA
@StlllWest@MarshaIIZach 3B Vladdy
SS Adams
2B Orelvis/Wagner
1B Horwitz
BN Clement Barger/Schneider
Got a feeling Vlad will get his money and 3B to start the season.
@cbugden60 @Atkins2Alcatraz Yep, I only see 3 outcomes in order of likeliness
1- traded this offseason
2- compete and let him go to FA
3- terrible season and he’s traded at the deadline
@cbugden60 @Atkins2Alcatraz Nonsensical… they will try to build a contender this offseason and likely lock Vlad up for $300M+. They’re not going to compete and they trade a star SS away at the deadline.
