OHers had him locked for Cooperstown a few years ago...

33 but does have 130 career homers, kinda surprised me honestly.

Maybe the Nats need him?

Ha, they might. 

That Eaton trade...hated it at the time and hate it now. Can’t predict injuries but didn’t like it.

That wasn't the Robbie Ray trade. Was it?

I think that was Fister.

I think SportsGuy was the one who loved Headley.   Him and some Angels 1B (?) whose name escapes me right now.  

Edit: Casey Kotchman.

That name was a blast from the past.  He was supposed to be the next big 1B for them, and he ended up being James Loney-lite.

He’s better than Jace Peterson

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Headly as an OPS of 368.  Pass.

3B defense has killed this team all season. 

[orioles119]

Go get him... Why not?  #1989

[Superbee83]

I'd pass even if he clears waivers. ( His salary for 2018 is 13 million according to sporttrac)

This team is going nowhere and I don't see where Headley has any real future with this club.

You don't pay him 13 million if he clears waivers.  I know no reason not to get him if he improves the defense.
