2025 Around The League Thread

I suppose they will let him start the season finale ala Phil Niekro for sentimentality reasons, but he literally adds nothing. It's no big deal, but his presence serves no purpose.
I would argue that in a lost season with only 5 games to go, letting him go out in front the home fans serves a lot of purpose.
 
why would TDA be a terrific move?

no coaching experience
no indication that he is overly analytical
no idea what philosophies he would bring


to me, this would be bringing in a fan favorite to just sit on the top step and cheer the guys on. We already get to see that every night.. Nothing against TDA.. likeable guy, but I would hope AA would shoot higher than that.

I know.. almost like calling up a rookie and having his family fly into the country during a lost season.. or stashing a fan favorite with a man bun in the minors for the whole season then bringing him up with a cross country flight and immediately releasing him after an inning.. during a lost season... or releasing another fan favorite on fathers day when his dad was in the stands for a celebration... yeah this team is great at making good decisions.

Ummm…the season wasn’t lost when Kimbrel came up.
 
What this is telling me is that 3B is not a strong position right now. Like McMahon leading the Yankees in WAR there and he's only been there two months. In fact he's the leading WAR 3B for two teams, as is Suarez and Hayes.
