So the Astros are moving on from "we'll do almost anything to win" to "let's see if Greinke, McCullers, and Verlander can each pitch 486 innings this season!"

Wonder if Braves still have interest in Greinke under right circumstances?

It is sounding like Mookie is gonna get dealt, Dodgers/Pads most likely teams.

says the #Redsox offered Mookie Betts a 10 years, $300M deal in the 2019 offseason. Mookie countered with 12 years, $420M

I don't doubt Mollie could get 10-12 years around 350 million. I doubt he sees close to 400 though, unless like the Nats do, it's deferred.

Okay, what about their last stints in AAA?
2019 AAA for Riley:
10.3 BB% 20.1 K% 146 wRC+ in 194 plate appearances
2018 AAA for Senzel:
9.8 BB% 20.2 K% 149 wRC+ in 193 plate appearances
And as far as defense, that was always supposed to be Senzel's issue. Seems most agree that Riley has turned into an average to slightly above average defender.
Not sure what context you're looking for exactly... Senzel's 90 wRC+ was in 414 plate appearances. Quite a large sample and still 10% below average.
For the record, I'm not big on Riley but Senzel is very overrated.

lordy.
Senzel was a 60FV and Riley was a 55FV. i feel this gap has grown, as i'd keep Senzel the same and move Riley down a bit based on his issues.
Senzel has a better minor league track record.
Riley came up and K'd 36.4% of the time with a 5.4% BB rate. his issue were/are absolutely glaring.
Senzel came up and and K'd 24.4% of the time. that difference is enormous. 7.2% BB rate...also a good bit better, especially compared with the K-rate.
Senzel is a better defender. i'm not sure that's debatable. perhaps it was a knock on him when drafted, but much like Riley, it's not anymore, but he's still a better defender who will also help more on the base paths.
Riley's wRC+ is heavily thrown off by his very unsustainable hot start. once pitchers found his weak spots he was getting eaten alive pretty much every single AB. Senzel didn't have nearly the same degree of problems.
IMO Riley's issue(s) is/are glaring and no one knows if it's something he can really fix. he's completely guessing up at the plate and pitchers know it. Senzel doesn't have the same kind of issue. Senzel is a better, more valuable piece.
so all of that is context you're leaving out.
