Trade deadline is in 2 weeks haha
How do you guys think Shatkins will approach it ...
Giles, Shoemaker, Bass, Panik are UFA's after the year.
I think the best route with Giles is to offer him the qualifying offer this offseason. He's not healthy enough to get any value this year. I don't think they will take the risk and extend him. If he accepts the QO we have him on a bloated one year deal. Not terrible at all for a guy with his upside. If he choses FA then they get a comp pick.
Shoemaker and Bass I could see being moved similar to how Shatkins have moved there vets on expiring contracts the last couple years (Joe Smith, Steve Pearce, Eric Sogard, Daniel Hudson, Josh Phelps, Aaron Loup)
Panik should not be in the big leagues
I guess Chase Anderson could be in the conversation. Maybe Dolis too. Both have options for next year if the Jays want them around.
