I don’t really see JD working in this lineup. Santander won’t play OF everyday and JD locks up the DH spot and gives 0 flexibility. Alonso you could make a case for since he can play 1B, but Martinez really ties your hands.
Likely a rotation of Vlad playing some 3rd with Alonso at 1B and Santander DH, and Santander playing OF a good chunk of games.
Vlad/Alonso/Santander only really works if you see Santander mainly as an OF with a couple DH starts per week.
Come on now, that’s kind of a cop out. Because we don’t work for an MLB front office we can’t comment on the value of certain players? Prospects sure, but a guy with 3 MLB seasons has more than enough data for us to be able to form an opinion.
Sounds like Alonso/Boras want an opt out after year 1, or potentially opt outs after each of the first couple years.
I can totally see why a front office would be against that.
Strawman. Who here is saying this changes their mind on current regime? That this fixes everything?
But at least they’re f***ing doing something better than last offseason.
Who the hell is?? Its a great signing and great contract
You guys just love to chime in with the YEAH BUT HE DIDNT DO THIS OR THIS
Shut the f*** up for once and be happy we’re out here trying to sign top guys, and we actually got one this time on a reasonable deal.
I just can’t see it. Varsho is a streaky player, its who he is. Some months he’ll look like a top 5 CF and some he’ll look like he’s never hit above AAA before.
He’s basically lefty Grichuk with a better glove and worse bat.
Im not so sure, there’s tons of people saying they’re hearing Alonso and Jays talk is heating up while 1 guy (who has never broken anything) is saying no.
Not sure I believe Shi here.
