If his value is that low and we are eating that much why not just keep him? He's a good vet for the kids to show them the way, could play C, backup C, 3b, Ss and if he has a good season you probably get more at the trade deadline. Maybe the 25 man roster is tight?
Before this move you had to make a 40 man roster move for Phelps. I guess there is little urgency now.
Someone mentioned playing time for Jansen, but also an opportunity for him to win a WS. It’s a favour as well, I’m sure.
And this 100%. Martin has been the ultimate professional and teammate and i would be very glad to pay that money and get what we got back to give him a better chance of winning a world series. Just a class act. The return was never going to be good for at best a 1b catcher/backup.
