He has zero chance to make the Opening Day roster, but he's making a good impression and he could end up being a contributor some time this season, if he hits down at Norfolk. Boy we have a lot of outfielders down there! Hoes, Alvarez, Urrutia, Avery, Borbon and some others, plus Walker may play some OF. It should be very competitive down there.

At some point we need to trade or cut some of them don't you think?

Does he have a chance to make the team? Are they just worthless spring training stats?

Here are his numbers:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/marteal01.shtml

Alfredo Marte has no options remaining and has also used his Designated For Assignment must report option. If he is added to the Forty he must be on the Twenty-Five and can not be optioned. If he is Designated/Waived and clears he can become a free agent as he has been Designated twice already. If he is brought up to the Twenty-Five he either sticks or becomes a one and done option.

Sounds like he is a very long shot odds from making this team.

Zero is a pretty bold statement when you don't know what injuries could occur.

I get your point but zero is a bit over-the-top IMO.

If nothing else, the guy deserved a thread here so I'm glad to see one.

He's killing it, but there's just not any room for him. I'd take him over Reimold at this point, but that's because I don't think Reimold will be more than replacement-level.

Even with his strong ST, personally, I dont think DD will replace Reimold with Marte on the 25 man.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
