I think you are right....Cincy being idiots have really screwed us in the process.

Silver lining is that he did not sign to play 3rd, so should not be considered a 3rd baseman contract. It’s still stupid money for him.

What would a deal built around Riley for someone like Matt Chapman look like?

Lol. A deal for Matt Chapman built around Riley?? More like built around pache/Anderson. Chapman has a ton of value and the A’s are not going to build a deal around Riley for him.

AA's about as likely to trade Pache as Oakland is to trade Chapman.

Villar to the Marlins. And earlier today they acquired Jesus Aguilar. That’s a productive day upgrading the right side of their infield.

You never know because AA trade Thor for RA Dickey...

kevin pillar non-tendered. would be a really good partner for markakis. Can likely be signed for 5-7 million. he’d be a perfect fit.

[Enscheff]

Add Gausman to the list of cheap SP the Braves could target.

[Hudson2]

What about non tendering Duvall and picking up Pillar? I’d take Pillar all day.

Bartolo Colon is free agent!

Between Ender, Pillar and Neck that might be the weakest outfield ever offensively.

But it’s good value tho

Should we offer a one year deal to Travis Shaw?

Pillar hits lefties well. With the extra roster spot this year you could keep Duvall and add Pillar. Both cOF spots could be platooned. A good manager could probably get decent results with a Neck/Duvall Ender/ Pillar OF.

Don’t forget Pillar is an ex Blue Jay. I’m sure he is on AA’s radar.

[Heyward]

Rather get Souza than Pillar.

He is another good backup option at 3b. Decent candidate to bounce back from a poor 2019.

[TheBravos]

Would rather have Alex Wood.

The comments on FB about Culberson are even dumber than expected.

Beyond comical. They are all freakin, saying stuff like we just blew it for 2020 lol.

[JxnMissFan]

So who won the Kemp for Culberson trade?

Culberson is a GA native I believe. Won't surprise me to see me back on a minor league deal.

Peraza and Wood are both available. AA could sign them both and fix one of the many mistakes of the Coppy/Hart era.

Yes and the Dodgers they can sign Hector and trade him to us again!
