Good move to let him move on, we’ll have enough lumber in the lineup assuming soem health.

Hope DB is fully recovered and can slide into the 9th inning role. Interesting that Hal says we have enough pitching (with guys coming back from IL and some of the kids). Might be a bargaining ploy re: Cole or Strassberg (the only 2 who make any sense at all on the market).

And good luck Carlos – you’ll need it with the Nats, Braves, and Phillies (under new management) in the division.

I’m of the mind to let him go. I know timing is everything, and him giving up a dinger to Altuve on a slider, just hurts, and how many more years is he looking at. He is devastating when he is on, but is he going to be on for 5 more years at 25 mil per?

I would rather look at re-signing Betances, and we have Green, Kahnle and even Britton, but I like him better in the 8th. Ottavino was great before crapping himself in the playoffs. The Yanks made the smart move in not overypaying for Robertson, who ended up on the DL.

I’m glad that binder mentality bit him in the rear.

Or see that your curve isn’t working today, go with the slider instead.
