NL West Notes: Weil, Seager, Sanchez, Crawford

By Mark Polishuk | June 17, 2021 at 11:18pm CDT

The Rockies and assistant GM Jon Weil have mutually decided to part ways, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports (Twitter link).  Weil has been with the organization since 2005 and in his current role since 2014, and The Denver Post’s Nick Groke writes that Weil is known league-wide as “an astute evaluator,” such as his “instrumental” role in the Rockies’ acquisition of German Marquez in a trade with the Rays back in January 2016.

Weil was considered a candidate for the interim GM role after Jeff Bridich’s resignation back in April, though the club opted to give the job to another long-time employee in VP of scouting Bill Schmidt.  The circumstances of Weil’s departure aren’t known, and it could be just as simple as both sides wanting a change after so many years.  For a Colorado front office known for its long-term continuity, however, it could perhaps be a hint that the organization is looking ahead to some wider-scale changes after the season, such as the hiring of a new general manager or president of baseball operations from outside the organization.

More from the NL West…

  • Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is hopeful that Corey Seager can begin a minor league rehab assignment by the “middle to end of next week,” the skipper told The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya and other reporters.  Seager suffered a fractured right hand after being hit with a Ross Detwiler pitch on May 15, and was expected to miss at least a month in recovery.  The first step will come this weekend, as Seager is slated to do some hitting on the field at the Dodgers’ Spring Training facility.  Seager was still ranked in the spot on MLBTR’s most recent 2021-22 Free Agent Power Rankings, assuming that he is able to return to the field in due course and is still able to play to his usual high standard in the wake of his injury.
  • Aaron Sanchez left a minor league rehab outing tonight after 1 1/3 innings due to a blister on his throwing hand, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR reports.  The Giants right-hander has a checkered history of blister and finger issues, which ruined his last three seasons with the Blue Jays following an All-Star season in 2016.  Sanchez missed all of 2020 recovering from shoulder surgery and was seemingly putting together a decent comeback campaign (3.18 ERA/4.26 SIERA) over 28 1/3 innings with San Francisco this year before biceps tightness sent him to the injured list on May 8.
  • Longtime Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit a career milestone today when he officially reached 10 full years of Major League service time, and Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group commemorated the achievement with a look back at several memorable moments from Crawford’s career.  Ten years in the big leagues is a major landmark for any player, perhaps especially for a somewhat modestly-scouted player (Crawford was a fourth-round pick in 2008) who has become a fixture with his hometown team.  Crawford’s contract with the Giants already contained a full no-trade clause, though by locking in “10-and-5” rights, Crawford can veto any potential trade for the remainder of his career.  This isn’t to say that a trade is anywhere on the horizon, as the shortstop is posting career-best numbers for the first-place Giants.

    “ though by locking in “10-and-5” rights, Crawford can veto any potential trade for the remainder of his career”

    This isn’t accurate, right? Gaining 10 and 5 rights only applies as long as he stays with the Giants. If he switches teams the 5 part of it resets.

      It does not reset. Once a player reaches 10-and-5 rights, it basicaly becomes an automatic no-trade clause in any subsequent contract they sign for the remainder of their careers, no matter where they sign. That “right” is attached to them for the rest of their careers

        You are wrong. He could sign with the Brewers next year and would have to be with them a minimum of 5 years for a NTC. Unless he gets it set in stone in his contract.

        Where the heck did you get the idea 10/5 rights carry over to any other team the player ever signs with?

    Crawford is a great player in his own right, but there is just something else there that you can’t quantify on paper. David Eckstein type? I don’t know. Winning teams usually have a guy like him. Glad the Dodgers picked up Pujols.

    I think the Giants end up signing him to a 2 year deal at season’s end. That will allow them to use more $ on a closer and more pitching to replace Cueto.

    I think the Giants sign Crawford to a 2 year contract. Pick up Posey’s option. Offer Belt a 1 year contract. Let Cueto go.

      This is likely what they end up attempting. Cueto will be gone next year, and would have been gone at the deadline if the team wasn’t competitive. Not sure what Belt wants to do, and he may opt for something longer elsewhere.

      No, Belt is gone after this year, but Posey & Craw remain.

        Agreed, but who will they replace him with? His glove will be missed more than his bat.

          Yes, you’re right, although Lamonte Wade has been pretty impressive defensively wherever he’s played. He’s definitely a keeper. Over the winter we’ll see a number of better bats (and decent gloves) become available at 1B. Even Ruf (if he stays) has shown he has the footwork for 1B.

    The Rockies front office is trash. Has been for a long time.

    10 and 5 for Crawford already?! Wow, time flies. I’m a Dodgers fan, but good for him. Good ball player.

    If Crawford doesn’t get the Gold Glove this year, someone isn’t watching. The guy’s even better than previous season’s and his bat is about as clutch as one can get.
