I think Marmol with the Cardinals.
This would be my guess, with Kapler being next.
Thompson in philly has injury excuses after coming in last year and taking them to the playoffs and WS. he’s got the whole year at a minimum.
Harper only missed a month. They had some other injuries but nothing that every other team isn’t dealing with. Braves have had a ton of injuries as well. I don’t think they’re very good. Stott and Bohm have to be massively disappointing.

I thought Bohm was having a good year.. but then I haven't looked at a box score for them in a while.
The Mets probably won't fire Show.. He did guide them to 101 wins last year and he can't control old players breaking down and regressing... that said, their GM won't fire himself before firing Show.. So he could go this year too if the team continues to tank.

Guy hits for no power and is an awful defender. I don’t know what the Phillies development team is doing to totally sap guys’ power, but both Stott and Bohm seem to have none. At least Stott is a good defender and runner. Bohm’s got basically nothing except an average bat with no power. My Phillies fan friends have been raving about their hitting coach turning all these guys around, but I don’t see it.
They already removed Contreras as catcher 1 month into a 5 year contract.

He ****ing stinks, and it seems every year he starts off with a stretch bumped by an inflated BABIP that have Phillies fans thinking he’s Mike Schmidt.
With Marcel turning it around, as well as Eddie, and D'Arnaud returning, Snit is going to once again look like a genius.

He’s just Chris Johnson with the ideal baseball body.
Basically he has to hit .300 just to be an average player due to his awful defense, bad baserunning, below average power and BB rate.
I hope he goes on a tear at some point and tricks the Philly into an extension.
That stat shows how good the BP and lineup are for the Orioles.
I was really impressed with the arms they can bring at you in the pen.
Scherzer and Verlander seem to be working out for them

The Mets $140m rotation has been worth two Ozuna’s

That dude who came in throwing 98 mph sinkers and a 90 mph change up is unfair.

to be fair, those old guys haven't made many starts for them yet.. but yeah, I think a lot of us here questioned them spending so heavily on aging pitchers.
I think Verlander will be fine. Would have been all over him on a 1 or 2 year deal. Wish the Mets resigned deGrom instead.
And it’s not like he’s super young and still growing. Will be 27 in august. I thought he’d be a decent guy to have around while he’s cheap but he’s not even looking like that. 1.5 WAR is the ceiling maybe.
I was hoping for an extension when he was leading the league in hits through August last year. Especially with the Braves signings, I thought they might try and get one of their own.
