So the Mariners have a reliever named Will Vest.
I really hope some day this guy has in his contract an option year that depends on him making a certain number of appearances...
With the fielding, going into today he had a UZR/150 of -38.1. In past seasons that was always a healthy plus figure.
He's trying to play through an injury.
Also, Judge looks far from 100%. Not moving well at all. His advanced fielding and baserunning numbers confirm it. Probably headed for another IL stint.
Made the clubhouse better and made the defense at shortstop a whole lot better.
Theo astutely recognized that Nomar's defense had seriously regressed and was a huge liability.
If we're in position for a deadline acquisition, taking someone else's salary dump would be much more palatable for sure. I don't think Bloom wants to trade any prospects this year.
