Chavez needs to stay until he gives us a reason for him to be demoted
And they are playing the Nats. That whole series has to be depressing for those fans.

If they need help packing Tomlins bags, i'll be there in 10 minutes.

Agree.
Wilson is a loss but a loss you can replace. Especially since the new staff drafts 5 college starters a year who are probably 4/5 starters.
I don’t think RR is a great rp but he’s a good one. And he had multiple years of control.
Perfect opportunity to try and defend the division without spending capital we may need in the future.
Reasonable we could win the division now. Still think we are cursed this year and will suck, but it’s a real possibility

Why in the world would Chavez go? He's pretty much been our best reliever since he's been up

Chavez has my vote to stay on the island as well.

I agree, but with all the head-scratching moves this season, I somehow won't be shocked if Tomlin is retained.

If Seager leaves in the offseason then no way the Dodgers let Turner leave.
Newcomb is here again so it will probably be him.

Forgot about Greene and Newcomb. Looks like a rock-paper-scissors tourney to buy bus fare to Gwinnett.
Our division now!!

Walker falling apart. We need to go on a little run to out some real pressure on them

No one was complaining about losing prospects, it was the prospect of not doing shyt!
True, but (the ever-present hopeful fan's mantra) you're getting Soler just as he's heating up, and we've seen him absolutely go off for stretches before. Rosario/Duvall gives you the platoon many of us talked about way back when it was cold, meaning you can cover up part of each of their shortcomings, and d'Arnaud instead of Smith will be a massive upgrade. You can platoon Rosario with whichever of Duvall or Soler is colder, and if Waters or Pache turn a corner in the next few weeks you can platoon Pederson with the other - that's not bad IMO.
I'm not a fan of Joc or Duvall in CF, but neither of them is necessarily THAT MUCH worse there than having Ozuna in LF. The bench gets markedly better, and these adds mean you don't need to push Waters or Pache now when Almonte and or Heredia turn back into the pumpkins they are. We've been extremely lucky with them to this point - at least you're now in a position that the other 4 OFs on the MLB roster (when Rosario returns) at least deserve to be on a roster and they're not just someone you're counting on riding an unexpected "hot hand" with. Almonte and Heredia can go back to being the bit players that can help every once in a while that we all know they are.

I mean, they still have Carrasco and possibly Syndergaard coming back (though I’m skeptical). Still potentially a decent rotation.
Chavez can't be demoted - no options left.
Pen arms with options are Martin, Rodriguez, Ynoa, Minter, Santana, Newk, Webb, Lopez, and Flaa.
