Another option if Whitley gets his value really high again is to trade him in the offseason for a 1B or OF.
Good news I guess. I was concerned it was a shoulder issue similar to Jakes last year
Would also reduce the pressure to make a trade at the deadline which has proven difficult
Good point. Its almost like you have to force Dusty's hand with a starting lineup instead of giving him the option to pick and choose.

I’m sure the baseball world will use this as proof of Astros cheating
Since We missed out on FAs and only signed Nico Goodrum I was truly hoping for an impact bat like the Braves added with Soler last year but none...
really wish we had kept Valdez. Oh well Altuve would be on that list but he was a beast in the minors
For those in the know, did we have interest in Bader? He's signed through 2023. Seems like the Yankees got a good deal unless LHPs like...
