Your Best Guess: What IS Jerry Going To Do?

[Codebrown]

Frankly, it's more entertaining to bring prospects up and watch them fail than to watch washed up veterans end their careers here.

I could not agree more or “the well he had a down year so we think he’s going to bounce back…”

Dammit!

Jazz to the evil empire......Yankees.

Common Jerry. Don't give up so easy!

I think they were smart to let Jazz pass. He can't even outplay Dylan Moore.

I think he'll be better in that stacked lineup. They'll reign him.
Maybe we should be on the phones for Gleyber?!?!?!

So the Metz are buyers (Stanek, now Winker) and another BP guy from Tampa. So that eliminates a Pete A. rental at 1B. And really only leaves Rooker Wade Jr., and Vlad. I'd take any of them but the package cost goes Wade<Vlad<Rooker

And I will add in a couple of Rays that would work and are probably available
1st,2B, 3B Isaac Paredes129 OPS+ (3.5 years CC) 2 goods and 2 bads/ He is entering his expected prime, positional flex, Bad: He doesn't have elite exit velocity and he barely hits them over the fence and he might just Winker all over himself. And he is slow as fk.

2nd Brandon Lowe 143 OPS+ 1.4 WAR in 56 games 2B>OF, and 7 games as a 1B. He has a 10.5M team Opt next year and 11.5M for 2026
My projected cost for the 5 options Wade Jr<Lowe<Vlad<Paredes<Rooker

I would be surprised if we did not get one of these guys in the next few days.

It says they are reluctant to move him. I would go all in for him We are talking 3-4 top 100 types and a couple of Organizational top 30 types.

Did I miss any solid hitters that you could slot into 1B? Relatively available? I found one: Cody B. Cubs (last place. He is only owed 5M this year with a 27.5M player option/2.5M buyout but only makes 5M this year (pro-rated portion). He is currently on the DL and only a 108 OPS+ guy He is expected back any day. (fractured finger)
Cody B < Wade Jr< Lowe < Vlad < Isaac< Brent R.

Isaac P off the board to the Cubs for a weak ass package of two nothing RHP prospects and a decent young player in 3B/CF Chris Morel.

We also lost on one of my coveted BP guys in Jason Adam 2.49 ERA and 2.5 years of CC.

Ouch.

MLBTR reported that M’s have joined in on the Tanner Scott sweepstakes.1.18 ERA but a concerning 14.8% walk rate.

3.6 WAR this season, 3.2 WAR so far this season...even for a closer this is really high. And 19 hits in 45 innings is just sick in spite of the walks.

[Donn Beach]

Could try and combine how him with Bell
