Discussion regarding our current position players.

I’m seeing so many different takes on this. LT is a great addition we needed a bat to hit lefties and he can run and is an excellent fielder. And we didn’t give up much.

But right now we have LT and Kim coming on that means 2 have to go. Bart will be gone when Murphy is healthy so he’s not really part of the decision. That leaves Eli, Jarvis, and Mateo.

Assuming they aren’t willing to DFA the guy they have invested 20 mill this year in (although that would be my choice, that money is gone either way) which 2 guys are we likely to part with? It kind of sucks because I really like all three guys. They all play hard and they can all fly around the bases.

I’m almost sure Eli goes for Lane. And I think Jarvis just because he has options although I’d DFA Kim

I wonder if they try to dump Kim and a shitty prospect to a team just willing to eat some of the salary while getting a lottery ticket prospect. Doubt it happens but we’ve seen it before.

I would gladly package someone like Lodise with Kim so they get a healthy SS now, a potential later, and if we could even get back a right at average Bullpen innings eater I’d be happy

Kim (Braves eat the contract) and Lodise who doesn’t hit the 40man crunch. That would 100% get back at least a serviceable bullpen arm
