I fixed your post for you.

All part of the big corner.

Yes, of course, and the 26 man roster on many bad teams have room to park a guy. I think there are several better choices out there than Drohan.
-
Almost every time, it's the highest bid, and the player says that team "showed him the most respect." A few times, it's about location, but money still plays a major role in the choice.
-
It will have no effect on the Yama negotiations. If the Yanks offer the most, he's as good a Yankee. I'm hoping the Yanks get Ohtani.
-
We already have tried a rotation of hobbled starters. Sure, let's try it for everyday players! Yes, Trout COULD ___________. Most likely, he WON'T! Also, Yoshida is much more likely to play 2-4 times the games and might just do well, going forward. Talk of Anthony or Mayer for a broken down- ex-star is not my idea of doing something bold and logical. BTW, some of us like the idea of trading for Burnes (and extending him.)
-
I don't get the wish for Trout? Unless you are a fisherman.
-
I'm not even sure I'd give Yoshida for him.
-
I'm not so sure. He sucked in AAA and has to stay on the ML roster, all year.
-
Easy pass for me.

The Whitlock story is a rare one.

The Padres have claimed right-hander Logan Gillaspie off waivers from the Red Sox, per a team announcement out of Boston. The Padres have several open spots on their 40-man roster, so a corresponding move isn’t necessary. Boston’s 40-man roster count is now down to 38 players.

Several players on my list were not "borderline" types, but rather high salary or low team control year guys, like Sale, Dugo and Urias. Refsnyder, McGuire and EValdez would probably be claimed. Borderlines are Mata, DHam, Robertson and Mills. (4 out of the 11.)

Yes, there is time before the draft in December to DFA players or make 2 or 3 for one trades to create more roster slots.
-
I'm not sure how many more than 5 we will be adding. Once we go beyond 5, it comes down to something like Gambrell vs Mata, Robertson or Mills. Now, it's not so clear cut. If Brez plans on adding 6-8 new 40 man players via free agency or by trade of no 40 players, then not protecting Gambrel and Drohan makes sense, to me. I like Gambrel. I wish he was protected, but I don't know enough to call it a mistake.
-
Remember, that list of 11 was after the 5 on my DFA list. With 39 on the roster, we are talking about #24 to #34. Some are on my list, because they have one year of control (Dugo,) are high salaried (Sale) or are out of options (Mata,) and not because they are surely not good enough. McGuire was listed with the condition that we added a catcher. DHam and Urais were listed as a trade candidate, if we add a MI'er to the 40. We won't trade both. Ref might be traded, if we add a RH'd bat to the OF and trust Rafaela will stick. Walter is good enough to keep on the 40 for another few months, at least. Mills and Robertson are question marks.
-
Yes, just what I mentioned.
-
My list of trade candidates? I said 9-11. The two might be from Mata, DHam and Walter, who might pass through waivers and be signed as a MiFA. You see more? Mills? Robertson? Your "over/under" would be 3-5 would not get claimed?
-
Some, yes, but honestly, if we DFA'd all 11, my guess is 9-11 would be claimed and placed on some team's 40 man.
-
If you want to get really depressed, look at the bottom 18-20 guys on the 2020 roster, the bottom 12-14 on the '21 roster and bottom 10-12 on the '22 rosters. This is a list of 5 with maybe 2-3 from the "trade list" that look like the Pilots. (BTW, I knew the Pilot team, well. They became the Milwaukee Brewers the next year, when I liked 2 blocks from County Stadium, and went to watch them play, often.)
-
Yes, or sign real soon.
-
There is a chance, after we add 5-6 players, none of those guys will be around, anyway. I'd still have protected Gambrell and Drohan to the last moment. I guess, if they don't get selected, there is no issue.

MLB had a "Bold Offseason Prediction" article a few days back. Here were their calls: Ohtani to Mariners Soto traded to Yankees Bregman traded Giolito & Flaherty (HS teammates) both sign with Braves Cincy signs Gray, ERod or Stroman O's will sign Hader and add a top SP: Nola or Snell or a trade for Burnes or Bieber Someone signs Rich Hill, and... Drum roll.... Yamamoto to the Red Sox!
