I'm convinced Kemp can be productive if managed like a catcher and subbed for defensively at the end of games.

Markakis can hold down a spot for another year. Maybe dump him at the deadline for a nothing return.

Might as well keep both. There's no reason Acuna can't compile a few hundred more AAA PAs other than the FO trying to rush the competitive window and save their jobs.
why not hold acuna out until 2020? get through both of these contracts and knowing the pitching will be horrible, there's no way this club is competing next year or probably the next. so why waste his time? i'm dead serious here. if folks are up in arms about saving service time, there's no difference in waiting two more years by that logic.
