GDT 7/2: reds game 2

[USMA76]

Duvall benched?

That undoubtedly has to be the case. The party line may be that his hand is hurt because of when he was HBP. The reality is that a manager and team can't tolerate the dumbassery on the base paths that Duvall just showed.

 

[Heyward]

Maybe, but if the braves offer something like 25 for 1 year, I could see the Mets going like 3 for the same per year

Mets can for sure offer more money and years than we can. But it would be DeGrom's decision at the end of the day.

Touki DFA'd

You'd have to think if we make another deep run in the playoffs, and Morton finishes out this year the way he did 2021, that McGuirk gives the go ahead to sign DeGrom short term high AAV. Maybe AA restructures the Morton option where Morton takes less money for '23 and gets a second option for '24 that if the Braves declined the '24 the buyout would simply cover the difference in '23.

Assuming we don't bring back Dansby, we'll have Smith, Jansen, Swanson, Duvall money coming off the books.

Just getting past Rosario's second year and Ozuna's last two seasons would be the only obstacle to overcome.

 

[Heyward]

if Morton finishes the year, that makes it tough. You'd have Strider, Fried, Wright, Anderson, Morton, Soroka, and DeGrom if we got him for 5 spots lol. I guess you could trade Anderson for farm depth or a SS/bat to replace Dansby though provided he doesnt completely implode.

Anderson's value continues to diminish.

Unless a team like Oakland or KC think they can maximize him. Or Houston thinks they can fix him.

Ozuna May k here, but this is a good AB

 

[The Tariff King]

We have a plethora of options for closer should Jansen not return.

Yates, Matzek, Ynoa, Strider.

If Soroka is able to come back this year, Anderson might not finish the season in the rotation. Unlike Strider, he’s a two-pitch pitcher who’s stuff hasn’t been great; and, unlike Strider, I’m less confident in his further developing his third pitch.

Anderson and ozuna to a rebuilding team for a lottery ticket

Thats a terrible use of resources.

Contreras May be a star this time next year

I'd keep Strider in the rotation. But there's options for sure.

For us or the team we trade to?

 

[thewupk]

If Duvall was benched then it may have cost us a run here

 

[Heyward]

For us. Giving away both for a lottery ticket.

 

[drewdat]

We should be up 10

I thought marcell had 3 more years when I made the post, but it's 2, so maybe you're right. Hopefully marcell picks it up

 

[Heyward]

Getting Mahle's PC up at the very very least. But if Duvall was benched, that may have cost us there.

Didn't he go to the field in b2? I don't think he was benched
