So what exactly would have happened there if for some reason the play was overturned? Since Bautista left the field he'd be awarded a double? What about the runner?
Well, it DID look like Reyes was safe. Still pretty rough to get 2 guys thrown out in the same inning. On the plus side, looks like if we get another fast guy on the batter can likely sit fastball.
Honestly, we may get more for Oliver hanging on to him and trading him in late August. Some contender is bound to be pretty desperate by then, and non contenders are unlikely to claim him.
Kennedy has a career xfip of 4.1 and is a fly ball pitcher. I'm not convinced he'd be much of an improvement for us. I'd be okay with it if we flipped him, but otherwise I don't see much point.
