I made a separate thread on it, but it’s intriguing since Cashman has made moves like this before and struck gold, but man is his stock low. The upside is there, but he needs his swing reworked. Way too much swing and miss. This seems to be strictly a move to counteract the tough righties later in games or to at least give a break against tough righty starters.
For IF depth, Urshela can play SS and so can Lemahieu, so it’s not like they don’t have internal redundancies there. If Odor was RH hitting, this deal wouldn’t have come together.
