It is time for an additional version of the weekly MLB Mailbag right here at MLBTR. I am pinch-hitting for MLBTR proprietor Tim Dierkes this week.
We acquired extra questions than normal, with a heavy deal with some current rumors/reporting on big-name NL Central gamers like Nolan Arenado and Cody Bellinger. We’ll tackle that, plus questions on the Phillies’ choices, the Reds’ outlook following a couple of early strikes, the current wave of non-tendered gamers, how the A’s can really spend some cash and extra.
Onto the questions!
Mark asks:
Ought to the Cardinals not discover a commerce associate for Nolan Arenado (or one which he agrees to), how do they type out the logjam? Gorman, Donovan, Saggese–and finally Wetherholt–at 2B/3B, and 1B/DH is type of occupied now with Contreras and Burleson. Looks like in the event that they plan to let the youthful guys play, robust to see how there’s sufficient enjoying time to go round.
Eldon asks:
The Yankees are rumored to have curiosity in Nolan Arenado. Would not this be an excessive amount of just like the Donaldson fiasco of only a very brief time in the past Hopefully Steinbrenner and/or Cashman would not dare do this once more…would they? An growing old participant with a giant contract who appears to be in decline? Why?
