These were certainly the two easiest decisions regarding a QO this season.

Don Kelly would have definitely gotten a qualifying offer.

I’m not shocked they out righted Evan Reed, but with the shape of their bullpen letting arms go seems a tad risky. Rondon and Putkonen, if they come back healthy, could potentially help a lot, but still obviously a ton of question marks

My guess is that letting Reed go had something to do with his “cougar hunting” last year that landed him in court.

Still surprising that someone who can throw this hard wasn’t claimed. Hope he stays with the organization.

I think a certain off the field issue made this decision easier.

One of the main goals stated by DD this fall was to improve our left handed hitting options. Interesting that he now releases Dirks (picked up by the Jays) and Kelly goes to Toledo. He has something (maybe big) planned by clearing the deck for new blood. I hope it is not Rasmus. So what if he hit 18 homers, he strikes out 1/3 of the time and barely hits his weight. I would like to see Ben Revere in Center and Markakis or Melky Cabrera at one of the corners. I know PEDS will keep Cabrera off his shopping list but maybe they will get Yasmany Tomas.

They need to improve balance at the bottom of their batting order.

Ben Revere doesn’t know how to take a walk and makes Don Kelly look like a power hitter. He is also not a very good center fielder. Let Philly keep him.

Cabrera would be an excellent fit, but the Tigers will have a heck of a time replacing Victor.
Maybe they’ll call the Angels and ask for Hamilton.

Putting the cuffs on Scherzer and VMart. Now who gives up the draft pick for those two?
dubinsky
the draft pick isn’t gonna stop anyone from pursuing Scherzer, Ryan.
Cubs and Boston for sure, possibly the Yankees and Angels also, will be in on Max.

I have little else to say other than…
Donnie Kelly Baby!

Don Kelly noooo 🙁

Nobody better claim Donnie Kelly baby. (the DK stands for Don Kelly btw :P)
He is OUR Don Kelly and even he goes somewhere else, its just going to be a for temporary vacay. He’ll be back.
