Now they can go on with filling the roster holes with quality while remaining under the CBT limit.<br /><br />Looks like the JBJ ship has sailed. I'm not a fan of the Almora signing, but without a resolution if the DH question, it will have to do. I am still hoping that Drew Ferguson emerges as the best CF backup during spring training. If the powers that be decide that the DH returns in 2021, they can always trade for Randal Grichuk. I think Toronto would love to unload his salary.<br /><br />I would love for Sandy's next act to be a trade for Gray and Suarez from Cincy. (Castillo instead of Gray is probably too much to hope for.) Maybe they could involve Cleveland in a 3 way, sending Rosario to the Reds, with us including Familia to Cincy as a salary offset.Herb Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382863651240230955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122736168771714314.post-51640041647509406292021-02-07T10:49:56.333-05:002021-02-07T10:49:56.333-05:00I am not crazy about the Almora signing - I though...I am not crazy about the Almora signing - I thought Bradley was a better option, but looks like they aren't going there now. <br /><br />For Almora, I suspect the incident where his foul ball hit the little kid got into his head. It also looks like he might change his approach to try for more power in 2019. Maybe a reunion with his old hitting coach Chili Davis will help. <br /><br />I agree about Bauer - really hoping that both Carrasco and Stroman outpitch him this year.

Better defender, but his bat has been so bad for the last 2 years he'd be almost unplayable. Maybe change of scenery gets him back to close to an average hitter.<br /><br />Reese, I don't often root against guys, but I'd love to see Bauer fade into oblivionMike Steffanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573922415294713184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122736168771714314.post-35071531024878027982021-02-06T22:39:08.830-05:002021-02-06T22:39:08.830-05:00I am happy they didn't spend that kind of mone...I am happy they didn't spend that kind of money on a third or fourth starter. After all, many one hit wonders won awards and faded into oblivion.
