    He figures to be your Right Fielder.

    Kyle Tucker will do just fine.

    that remains to be seen. the upgrade in all other areas is well worth it. He's a great pick up. literally 0 reason for anyone to be down on this

    Until we know the cost, hard to judge, but this is only a marginal upgrade. Though if Brantley doesn't come back... that becomes a pretty decent upgrade at DH/LF, but would be nicer if he was a LHB.

    Why are people calling him a rental when he has one more year on his deal?

    Rumors say Peter Solomon and Tyler Whitaker. Cannot confirm though.

    It’s a mutual option. With a small buyout there’s almost zero chance both sides pick it up. Either he’s worth more than $10M, in which case Mancini will decline, or he’s worth less, in which case Houston can decline.

    Next year is a $10M mutual option, and he will almost certainly decline it as he can easily get more in the open market.

    Siri is a big give for a rental.
