I've been saying this, all along. We have the weakest down roster in decades. Our bottom 15-20 can all be easily replaced. When we add the 6-7 rule 5 protected players and maybe 1-2 rule 5 draftees, we'll still have 5-10 players that have very little promise. Now, do we keep Pedey on the roster, just so we can have some special Pedey day where maybe he gets one AB? I'm not sure having him on the roster makes the day anymore special. I think he will be removed from the roster- most likely by November 20th. I don't think we lose anybody all that good, if we keep him around, but it makes little sense keeping a roster slot for him.

I think they might be trying to work out the details of when and how he retires. Maybe some sort of financial agreement will be made, involving him staying in the organization in some capacity as a non player. There is no rush to do it, this second, but maybe by November 20th. If he is on the roster on NOV 21st, I'll be surprised. We don't even have 40 men on the roster, right now, so Pedey is not taking anyone's slot.

True dat. BTW, I always give credit to principals when things go right. I have a great one, now.
-
It's all about winning. Many people will be hired or hired back once things get rolling again- hopefully sooner than later.
-
I'll always remember Pedey fondly. He was a gutsy player. Grit. Determined.

The mess was created and the clean up started before that.
-
Yes, and you realize the cleaning up needs to be done before the next one starts.
-
Makes you wonder how much a guy like Porcello will get.
-
It's always the principal's fault.
-
We have enough back up utility men, already. It's the only position we are overloaded.
-
If the contracts are going to be "brutal," maybe this is the time to pounce. We may be the only team looking to spend large. Maybe there will be a lot of one year deals.
-
Wait, we're going after him?

Cora is my top choice by far. -
This makes a lot of sense, especially Zunino.

That would be $6M more added to the spending budget but one more rotation slot to fill.
-
I think the MLB Trade Values site had Perez listed at zero value due to his contract. He had a decent season with us, but if the market is in a serious downturn, he may be a casualty.

So, next summer's free-agents-to-be are: Barnes & ERod
-
Speaking of years of team control for 2-3 months of pending free agents... Verdugo still has a pre arb season, then 3 arbs plus Downs and Wong- both at 5+ years. Pivetta (4) and Seabold (5) for Workman & Hembree Potts (5+) & Rosario (5+) for Moreland Wallace (5+) for Pillar Grullon (5+) off waivers
-
Sorry. I meant Seabold. Potts for 3 months of Moreland could work out well, too.
-
YES! Pivetta starts year 1 of 4 arbs, next season. Potts has 5+ years of ML team control. All for 2 months of Workman.

Your detective work is greatly appreciated.
