If the hope is that Davis pulls his back shoveling his driveway (I KNOW he lives in Texas, shush) then why not just cut bait and let him go.  Its lost money any way you cut it.

 

Seems like it's an issue of having to play Davis' replacement at least the league minimum with the team being on a very tight budget.

The most important thing in that article to me is Elias stating that they plan to play Mancini primarily at 1b. Is that meaning very little Davis?

Seems like the returns will have to substantial for a trade to be made. If the Marlins, Braves etc were hoping for a salary dump discount it’s not happening.       https://www.mlb.

Kind of a nothingburger of an article.  I mean, I know Trezza has to write stuff but it's just an article that encapsulates why Santander and Mancini could be traded or not be traded. @Bahama O's

Davis isn’t going anywhere, he’s not retiring, he’s not being released, he’s not being traded.

With that in mind the thing to do is sit him on the bench in the 26th spot, and just ignore him. I think that’s what they will do

The thing with Davis is, even if he somehow were to be decent again, it STILL wouldn't be worth playing him because they need to get at-bats for Mountcastle, Santander, Mancini and Stewart at the LF/RF/1B/DH spots.

I don't think Stewart will be a contributor to the team when they hope to contend (say, 2023), but it is at least theoretically possible as a first year arbitration eligible player that he could be around in 2023. He should get as many at-bats as possible until Yusniel Diaz comes up and takes his spot as another guy who is probably not good enough to be a starter for a team with playoff ambitions.

Likewise with Mancini, who will be a free agent after 2022, he should either be traded or extended within the next year and should play as much as his health allows.

Elias wants Mancini full time at first because it increases his trade value over being a DH.   Mancini should reach is max value at the trade deadline when he has two pennant races to give to an acquiring team  before FA..

Yes,  Mancini is a FA after the 2022 season.  Trezza got that wrong in the article.

After Mancini is traded in July,  Davis can be the backup 1B to Mountcastle.

Reading this article makes me long for the ritual Spring Training articles with the infamous "I like the way the ball comes out of his hand" type quotes.

Ready to see some baseball!

18 days until pitchers and catchers... I hope.

He also wants him at first because it’s the position that makes the most sense for him to play at.

Maybe, maybe not.   DH is not as draining for a guy coming for chemo.  But DH will not help his trade value.

He probably won’t play in the field every single day but 75ish% of the time, I would expect it.  Maybe a little less at first and more as the season goes on.

Either way, he’s the obvious choice at first base.

I doubt it. There is labor uncertainty for 2022, which could further save money if games are missed and he is still on the roster.

I don't think he gets released until a new CBA is signed.

Do we know if the prorating is done against $23 M or $17 M, i.e. does the deferred amount get reduced also?

      You’re actually making the most sense of just about anyone on here.   Hate to say it.  Lol

      If you use him as an opener, it’s not really “relieving”.  I guess I don’t get the issue.  If a pitcher gets hurt and misses a period of time, are you saying it’s risky to ramp him back up to a normal innings load?

      Ah. So you can only get one pick per player? That’s a bummer. Reasonable, I suppose. But a bummer nonetheless

      It's true that this has been discussed, and there are differing schools of thought.  Some, like myself, feel that the resources required in a Crochet deal, might be better served addressing a more impactful need for 2024: a ToR starter.  As a starter beginning next season, it's likely Crochet's impact will be higher as a strong ToR starter through the final two years of control.  In the meantime, there are quite a few very solid veteran late inning relievers that we could deal for in order to satisfy that need, and that wouldn't require near the cost of a Crochet.

      It makes sense to me for multiple reasons. 1) IMO we do not have the requisite pitching talent in order to matchup favorably against the leagues best in a 7 game series in October. That needs to change. 2) We don’t need extra offense IMO. Nor a back up catcher. We will be fine offensively if we don’t have one considering without both we are number one in the sport. 3) We could resign Burnes with that 50 million (not sure where you are getting that number). But so many here believe it will be a bad deal. And having another #1 in house protects us from having to be leveraged against signing him.

      Starter and then reliever and then back to starter. Risky risky risky.

      Why do we need to outbid someone for Skubal? We still have Bradish and Grayson for years to come. Also a punchers chance at resigning Corbin Burnes. You know what our record was before we signed Burnes? Best record in the AL. You know what our record has been since Bradish got hurt? Tracked down Yankees and took 3 game lead. We have resources to sign players next year. Elias is a value vs risk guy. He got Burnes with Joey Ortiz which is a top 50-60 prospect. He’s not giving up top 10 prospect for a player with 178 innings pitched. I like Crochet a lot but his track record isn’t long enough.
