The problem with Pollock is the draft pick attachment. Tough for us to forfeit a pick given the international sanctions

Let’s dance with Marwin and then focus on nonKimbrel bullpen arms

Yup. Do a bunch of 1 and 2 year deals. Loved to give Marwin like 1/15 with a PO at like $18M for a second year

Tough thing about the 1 yr deals is false sense of security. Having Donaldson is awesome and having pollock and/or Marwin would be awesome but pache isn’t an impact bat in 1-2 years. Riley 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dansby and Ozzie have to hit consistently. Camargo needs to repeat. Internal development is key.

@NochNoch I get that the merger hasn’t been rosey but am I missing something on AT&T ?

Too much debt on the books if things go south in the economy in the near future. Great dividend but they will have to pay that with some of their free cash and using the leftovers to target the debt. They obviously have a plan in place but if some of their projections from the TW deal prove to be overly optimistic or if they aren't as successful on the streaming stuff with DirecTV as they think they will be then they could be in some trouble.

True but it also buys you time to see what those guys will be. Can Albies be a consistent .800 OPS guy? Will Dansby ever be average with the bat? Is Camargo an everyday player? Where does Riley fit in?

Other than Harper, I don’t like anyone in the FA market right now for more than 2 years. Maybe there’s a trade out there but nobody that really blows me away (maybe we trade a couple young pitchers for Clint Frazier or another young OF)? Seems risky. Just not sure what other options are out there.

Also the more we get near the season the more I want Realmuto. I don’t trust the Mac/Flowers platoon at all.

Leverage. Not debt, leverage. :)

Big year for Dansby. He needs to show he is not a .230 hitter.
