Well, he's a DH that is OPSing under .800 who has been really below average when he has played 1st base. He'll play at 30 years old net year and does not have a skill set that ages well.

Take away his great story and the quality person aspects, from a baseball standpoint, seems like an expensive guy to bring back. 

I do think he'll be back since they would take a huge PR hit if they let him go for nothing, but he should be a guy they looks to move this offseason from a baseball standpoint.

That’s why he isn’t going anywhere.

Severino in August is OPSing 6229.

I would rather see Martin than Franco

Trey is last year of arbitration this offseason?

[Moose Milligan]

Here's hoping Smith is tired and we can steal one here.  

[Yossarian]

So what's the batting average with runners in scoring position now?

[eddie83]

And yes I know Martin has no power. 
 

Hope Sevy gets on. 

[SteveA]

Ok,Franco has to get on here.

Yes, he's a free agent in 2023.

[O's84]

Mistake pitch, O's can't take advantage of it and it is nothing but another out.

[Moose Milligan]

Maybe Franco can run into one.  Doubtful.

So would I, but Seve has taken the Franco GIDP off the table.

[O's84]

Loss #18.  Well done guys.

[eddie83]

Off day tomorrow to enjoy the streak even more.  

[Moose Milligan]

Of course.  18 in a row.  21 directly in sight.
