Rosenthal in a starting role is interesting…wondering how cardinal feel about this…
baseball10
Rosenthal is the one who wants to start and therefore has got the rumors started. The cardinals need him to be an anchor in the weak bullpen. He still has an intriguing skill set either way
timyanks
blowsthemall was a starter in the minors. the cardinals should feel o k with him starting, being they chose to put him in the bullpen.

I think the Mets tender Duda and then look to move him.

Mets don’t have many position players that are trade bait, their team batting is not good. All their good players are either free agents or opt out players.. They already have Wright on the books and not playing, I don’t see them taking a chance on Duda. They can bring up Dominick Smith and find a cheaper back-up.
Birch
I agree they will not take a chance on Duda, but we also can’t act like Wright is that prohibitive of a contract with it being 75% insured. He’s not cheap to be sitting out, but at least he’s not being paid all of it. That being said, the Mets need to add some infielders at the expense of a pitcher or two. This team has almost zero future inside the diamond.

The Mets used the W right money to sign Cespedes. It’s hard to deal pitchers who have injuries like bone chips. The Mets don’t have too many options to trade for players and the free agent market is weak. If Cespedes opts out they will be in trouble.

I bet Duda wishes he signed an extension . I can’t see the Mets not tendering a interact because his power in the middle of the lineup is missed. Mets do have plenty of young position players however .Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith are future stars for the Mets at SS and 1b. Infielders. Gavin Cecchini and Brandon Nimmo are first rd picks from 2012 and ’11 and both having big yrs in AAA . They can be used as Trade bait or depth in case Walker / Cespedes leaves .

You wouldn’t be able to move Duda at this point. Who would take him knowing that they have to go to arbitration and pay him at LEAST the $6M+ that he made this year? And what do you think you’d get back for him?
goducksgoagogo
Agree. Very streaky but when he’s on, wow.

There is zero chance the Diamondbacks non-tender Miller, If they were even remotely toying with the idea, the deal with the Marlins would have been approved. For better or worse, he’ll be tendered, if only to make sure that the team can still claim three years of control over him while trying to move him later (though I suspect they will simply hold on to him and try to “fix” him).

If any one cares.. Pirates have 7 Arbitration players. my prediction.
Pirate non-tenders
Jeff Locke: Current 3.05M
Juan Nicasio Current 3M
Pirate tenders:
Jordy Mercer: current 2.08M
Tony Watson: current 3.45M
Gerrit Cole: current 541K
Pirates on the fence
Jared Hughes current 2.17M
Drew Hutchison: current 2.2M
Mercer, Watson and Cole are no brainers.. i’d guess Mercer about 3-3.5M and Watson around 5M Cole will also get a pretty huge raise, though if he doesn’t turn around his current downward trend it might not be as much as he’d like.
Locke and Nicasio almost assuredly gone unless they think they can keep one of them under 4M for long relief.
Hughes has had a down year. I’d expect him to be a pirate next season and probably rebound. Drew i’m less certain about. He can come in and eat innings.. won’t cost an arm and a leg and could easily be molded into a fair pitcher. The pirates already have a handful of guys that could fill that role for much less money…
Joe Orsulak
No. Nobody cares.
ryanh48
Some people care
Joe Orsulak
Some people may care about the future of how the Pirates roster shakes out but no one should care about his predictions.
joew
your just sore cause you never made it to the play offs.. that’s cool i would be too. if you don’t care that’s cool.. don’t read it.
Deke
I care. Do you think the Pirates will bring back Vogelsong?
joew
I doubt it. unless he takes a deal on the cheap i think they’ll let him move on. There are a handful of other free agent starters i could see them checking in on though.
Hopefully the ‘young guns’ will come through though and have a rotation of Taillon, Kuhl, Glasnow, Brault and Cole

I’d expect Nicasio to be back. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Hughes go. Hutchinson is a lock to be back after they traded for him.
joew
its possible, since Juan wen to the pen he as done much better. Not great but better.. Also too along those lines.. in Locke’s limited pen action he’s been pretty good too. 0 runs in 5 games but the opponent OBP is still fairly high.. of course that’s just 9 innings. I think both of them really depend on their ARB estimate But i think both are fairly easily replaceable internally with someone making league minimum.
I really wouldn’t say they traded for Drew.. they traded to get rid of Liriano His ARB number shouldn’t go up much though.. I can see it either way.
bradthebluefish
In agreement with all but McGee. He’s had an awful year but had a lot happened to his health.
I feel like $4.8MM is worth the risk. Cishek signed a $10MM/2yr deal with Seattle Mariners with incentives. I feel like McGee could get something similar. should he be non-tendered. (and thus making tendering him a good idea).
Larry David's Joe Pepitone Jersey
The Mets should non-tender Duda and sign one of the low-mid tier free agent first basemen as a stopgap for Dominic Smith, or bring back Duda on an affordable deal and potentially trade him depending on his performance and Smith’s readiness.
