Might as well sit back and enjoy: the chips are falling today. Maybe we should do a bet on how much is spent on any one day. My guess is $375 million today.
It could be that this move takes the $$ contract and moves it to the minor leagues so doesn't count against the major league total salaries amount. Didn't we do something like that with Straw?
I'm figuring room for 5 outfielders being:
Varsho, Springer, Santander, Lukes and Tucker (?) I'm wondering if Santander can actually play the outfield or even play at all?
I'm starting to count roster spots. If we sign Tucker, then one of Straw or Lukes gets left off. And that assumes Barger at 3b and Santander in one outfield corner.
Something like that would make some sense. But I gotta admit, the Bieber thing where he didn't opt makes me wonder if he's not so sure about his health. Makes keeping Berrios an idea.
I definitely see Rodriguez as the most likely to go. I'd love to know the behind the scenes situation with Berrios and Santander. The real facts could be interesting.
