I think Marsh moves to CF and Hays takes over LF. -

Luis Castillo, clap clap...clap clap clap. Seattle's uncertain local TV revenue situation has had them acting weird for a while now. We've talked about their cheap pitchers a bunch of times, but it seems like moving an expensive pitcher more natural. I'm sure Cal Raleigh will love it, but Jerry Dipoto could minimize his risk of Raleigh taking another big dump over his management of the team's roster if good MLB options like Mountcastle, O'Hearn or Mullins are part of it. -
Hmm. Mountcastle for Castillo is not particularly realistic. We'd have to add some major prospect capital. I also wonder if we'd deal another veteran from this roster after Hays. I get the sense Hyde is a veteran biased manager and doesn't love a team of all young players. -
How is this different from any other competitive environment? Someone wins. Someone loses. Someone gets a job because of something out of their control and gets jealous. The only difference (and we don't even know the degree) is that a goal is to increase org value through prospect development (like we've seen in many other orgs). Which will put pressure on people to perform. Does pressure reveal or develop character? Both? (Maybe that's why it's part of the draft focus?) Mental and emotional toughness augments skill. "When the going gets tough...." Empathy and whatnot is fine, but there's a job to do too. And blaming someone else os pointing at management is a victim mentality. None of these guys are victims, even Hays. They've all earned it and are fighting for it. Including Hyde and Elias. Hays may be frustrated, he may have even vented off the record. And that's a motivator. It's the first time some of these guys are experiencing a professional set back. There will be more. And we/media consumers, will feed the drama. It's life. -
Watch what Phillies President Dombrowski says about Hays and how he will use him. I am saying what he is saying.

We need an Andrew Miller type of RP. Someone that is nails in a big moment. I’m not sure there’s one out there but that’s what we need. -

I’m skeptical the Orioles will be the high bidder for Scott or Estevez. Just doesn’t seem like the Elias approach to the bullpen. But I do think Mountcastle for Bednar makes a ton of sense for both teams. PIT has a good pen but they desperately need offense and 1B/DH. And Mountcastle is more than a rental - same years of control as Bednar. I don’t think PIT wants to go all in as buyers but they want to do something to improve this year’s team.
