    I think that we are at 38. The roster 40 man roster was at 35 and 3 players were just added.

    Ferguson is an MLB player. I doubt he will ever have enough pop to be a starter, but he has consistently hit and gotten on base. Somebody will assuredly pick him if unprotected.

    Ferrell has been crazy inconsistent. He might be worth a flier to a terrible team.

    Aruaz is the most notable player, but there's no way he close to ready. Even on a terrible team trying to hide him as a backup infielder it's a big ask.

    Mariners are in the mode I dont understand why we dont see if we can atleast get something of value.


    85m for Segura and Leake
    To the Padres for
    Wil Myers and his 45m

    That's nuts

    Twins say they think they can get someone cheaper. Might look at Smoak

    Omg go get this guy he is very versatile.

    He is the Marwin player.
    This would make the bench so strong. And he bats left . Come on this is a givin.

    He lost basically a full year due to a shoulder aneurysm, and hasn't really recovered to be the prospect they thought he would be.

    Diaz takes all infield.
    Dietrich could get all OF and 1B

    You can never have enough tools in the tool shed.
    LEFT handed bat

    The only way Miami doesn’t come out of that looking monumentally stupid is if they were so close to a trade that they went ahead and DFA’ed him so they could add Anderson, knowing the Dietrich deal was agreed to. DFA’ing a player projected to make $5M and be a versatile above average hitter is just stupid. Honestly I think Dietrich is an equal player to Marwin; he’s a better hitter (especially if he’s somewhat limited against lefties), and he’s a better defender at 1B and 2B (Marwin is a much better LF and slightly better 3B, while neither should play SS more than a handful of games per year).
