Does he, when Mountcastle is back?

I would DFA Owings. Mateo and Urias can cover short and we can bring up Martin if one of them gets dinged up.

I’d rather have Bannon than Nevin, but both are pretty bad. Nevin always seems to hit groundballs. Bannon can at least play 2B and 3B. Nevin only seems to be able to play 1B.

How much would the Blue Jays want for Cavan Biggio?  Straight up for one of Mancini, Santander, or Tate?  

I think Tate is coming around.  I wouldn't trade him for Biggio.

Biggio was pretty good in 2019 and 2020, not so much last year.  And he's off to a terrible start (albeit in a small sample size) this year.  Wouldn't be a bad trade target though.

Nevin only has 51 plate appearances, but you're correct about his GB% it's 51.6%.

Deck chairs on the Titanic either way.

So I guess you didn't see his play that got someone on the bird app to compare him (tongue-in-cheek) to Arenado? ;)

Elias better not trade Santander for Biggio.  Santander is a major league player and the exact same age as Biggio.  Biggio is probably a good DFA possibility if he doesn’t turn it around soon.   If or when he moves Santander it should be a guy younger and will have little or no service time used with some upside.

Both were ranked prospects I believe too. Your farm system is only as good as your successes and we seem to be missing those. That’s why many teams trade the players they evaluate lower than other teams so their value doesn’t go to zero.

Hard to have any successes when your best prospects never get promoted.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      DC is a FA. Soto and Dominguez are interesting decisions. SA is do 8M next year. Soto is under team control and likely looking at a salary in the 6.5M range.   In some ways, they sound like overpays for each. OTOH, they miss bats, can be high leverage guys and you don’t have long term commitments with either. As of now, I lean towards keeping both. I would like to re-sign DC depending on the contract. But I would still like to add another power arm. Now, that power arm could be an unproven close to ML ready prospect you get for Mullins or Mounty or OHearn. It doesn’t have to be someone you sign to a major deal. There may also be some ML relievers available for trade that makes sense. We see these teams all the time that just seemingly have power arm after power arm and we don’t have that. Elias has failed to address the pen properly imo and really, we don’t know if Felix will be the 2023 Felix going forward.  The pen has to be seen as a priority this year.    I want to see resources poured into the pitching staff and the improvement of the defense.

      So what would you offer?, For me Max 2 years with mutual option. IF its any more than that keeping him might be tough.

      The pen needs more help than just Bautista. So let’s say Santander is gone and the offense misses him…but what if the defense and pitching get better? People seem to have this narrow view of the sport that you can only win one way or with certain players.

      Lord I needed that

      What's up peeps???  Lord I needed that win yesterday!!  Then the hubs and I (and about 200 other folks LOL) met Taters at a local restaurant establishment meet and greet last night.  And that was INSANE (in a good way).

      Oddly, it’s the offense that I’m worried about for next year. Theoretically, we should go back to having a dominant pen with Bautista back. That helps shorten the game from the back of the pen down.  We’ve shown the ability under this regime to be able to piece together a rotation.  Subtracting Santa from this offense will be tough.

      Yep and by saying himself, I’d say his defense has been a major disappointment
