@JoshuaHowsam@_bkuh_ Agreed - definitely the smart move from an asset mgmt perspective, but I can also see them valuing the 2nd lefty more. Nance is still mostly only getting garbage time appearances, a role that Lauer will presumably occupy going forward
@BadNewsJays@_bkuh_@LewisFosterRHP I would also be absolutely shocked if they tell the guy they recently signed to a major long term deal that he’s off the playoff roster (due to a minor roster edge)
@BadNewsJays I was kinda hoping he woulda done this before Ohtani 3rd time through order, but I also understand that prob wouldn’t go down very well in the clubhouse
@BadNewsJays To be fair his expected numbers are a lot higher. But I definitely wonder why they didn’t just target Castro from the jump given the light return he got
@NickAshbourne Assuming a Bieber-esque six weeks, you think it’s fairly possible he’ll just renegotiate a one-year deal at ~$30M instead of trying to get a long term deal? Can’t imagine a ton of teams would be willing to commit $250M+ based on 50 innings in two years
