OT: MLB Discussion Thread: Part XXV

[nyr2k2]

Grandal had turned down 4/60 from the Mets right before they signed Ramos. I'm okay with how that worked out.

 

[RGY]

I believe this source has been somewhat credible...would be ok with Britton on a 3 year deal. Insurance to Chapman for injuries or if we don’t re-sign him.

 

[darko]

Would gladly take Britton back. Much needed lefty.

 

[darko]

Great news. Hopefully won't need to see abomination of a 3B in Andujar play that position again.

Machado will play SS until Didi comes back.

 

[Cassano]

Machado will play SS until Didi comes back.

Disgusting.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Machado will play SS until Didi comes back.

I don't know about that.

I think that it's 50/50 that Andujar is back.

 

[RGY]

Travis Shaw could be an option for 1B/3B in a Sonny Gray trade.

Not sure how his defense is compared to Andujar

It's better.

I don't know how it is either, but its better.

He'd get a lot of pitches to hit surrounded by the guys in our lineup.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Think Andujar is traded once Machado is signed.

Machado 3B
Wade or FA SS until Didi is back.

Andujar traded for another starter.

CC to the pen.

I don't think CC should have been re-signed.



Keeping Andujar and having Machado play SS, does not improve your defense.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't really have any issue with CC coming back unless his presence blocks someone else from being here.

Gardner OTOH shouldn't have been brought back.

 

[Cassano]

What sort of starter can one expect in a package surrounding Andujar?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

A younger, very good one that is controllable for a decent amount of time.

 

[Machinehead]

What sort of starter can one expect in a package surrounding Andujar?

Unless a #2 or better is coming back, I'd rather just keep Andujar.

We're missing a SS and Gardy getting old will open up DH a lot of games. There's flexibility in this lineup even after adding Machado.

 

[mrmovies779]

Torres at short,Machado at 3rd,Wade or a stop gap at 2nd and Andujar as full time dh.That's what I would do.

 

[Machinehead]

Wade being a full-time starter for this team makes me wanna peel my skin off.

I'd rather give Bird a 20-year contract.

I didn't say it was ideal

 

[Irishguy42]

Broke the Stanton news. Some eggs can be put in this basket.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Leyritz tweets it, I believe it. Chooses to ignore Gerrit Cole exists.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Sign Machado, Britton and Robertson.

Trade Andujar for a young top tier starter.

Offseason win.

 

[darko]

Andujar won't fetch you a young top tier starter.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Andujar won't fetch you a young top tier starter.

Prospects you get back from Andujar+some of your own might though.

 

[Cassano]

Andujar won't fetch you a young top tier starter.

Exactly my thoughts. It is wishful thinking.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Heyman with the very latest folks.

 

[Irishguy42]

Wow. Heyman with yet another riveting tweet full of intrigue and suspense.
