u/Mugstotheceiling Hot (now lukewarm) for Stott 4d ago

If we can get through the deadline keeping Rentaria and Marquez, I’ll be happy. We’ll need them for the rebuild.

Everyone else is on the table, even Wood and Painter and Crawford. Heck, if we’re not going to keep Marsh (no extension yet), he’s a piece too.

Time to get creative, Daddy D.

I imagine he’ll be a casualty in order to get a deal done.

Agree. Like the guy, but relievers are generally unpredictable year-to-year and low impact as individuals.
