    Does the addition of Maton mean Click can now release Raley?

    That was before I saw Diaz. Maybe Click at the last moment must couldn't pass on Diaz. Only thing I can think of without getting a cf upgrade.

    Straw wasn't exactly a seasoned vet.

    I'm excited to see Meyers.

    Maton has an ERA+ of 100 in 2021. Are you high Click lol?

    Yes Meyers plays CF, and is pretty good at it. The bat is the question. I guess we will see if his AAA season is for real.

    I’ve never seen Meyers play. But, he’s had a terrific year in AAA.

    The only feeling I have about this trade is surprise. Straw has always been a 4th outfielder in my opinion. I know absolutely nothing about Maton or Diaz other than the stats I looked up after the trade. I am excited to see Meyers.

    I see him play a lot at Skeeters games. Always get on base. Quick bat speed. Put ball on play. Clutch hitter.

    Straw had no business being an everyday CF on a contender. It is interesting to see what Chaz can do with more consistent playing time. Was getting excited for Buxton possibly coming though so it's a let down in that area.

    I don’t know how his numbers at other AAA stadiums but there’s nothing inflated about Constellation Field. Wind blowing in from center and right field. If you can hit HR to CF/RF, that’s very impressive.
