Contreras is having his best year now in his 11th season (highest OPS). He's 34+. He's never played 140 games (and he's 31 away from that). The dog days take a physical toll. The hammy will effect his swing. He's no Pete Alonso.
I don't get starting Miller for 1 inning. He hasn't started since 2024. He's become a legit closer. Why F around with that? Are they trying to boost and justify the Bello contract?
Other than Rutschman, Mead and maybe Crochet, I'm not sure if I would make any other changes. The team is playing well together. Story, IKF and Anthony can sit and heal for next year. I didn't even include Romy in this group.
I don't disagree. But I'm also not advocating for an Abrams(his OBP is too low). But a Skubal? The Red Sox were not even in the picture. We have a team of lefties. We need another righty.
You guys and your ridiculous Arias worship crack me up. Trade him and get real proven talent. The hype machine knows no limits. Campbell, Mayer, Anthony... The promise of tomorrow. The only guarantees are the sun will come up in the morning and proven talent will help win games.
