I'd probably move on from Bednar, whether that's a non-tender or minor trade. Try and resign Chapman. I was really impressed with Santana; they unlocked something with getting an extra tick on the fb and bite on his slider. They'll be getting Moreta back and I'd move Oviedo to the pen. Also, Stratton appears to be a capable mid arm.

MLBTR has an article on Bednar, as to whether he’s moved this offseason or they’ll hang onto him. Doesn’t seem too worthy of an article (I have no idea what he’d fetch in his current state).

They're like many of us--desperate for content this time of year after most teams are done playing and before free agent season.

Nutting denied us some entertainment--speculating on a new hitting, bullpen, or strength coach just doesn't capture the interest that speculating on a new GM or manager does.

Only makes sense to keep him and hope for a rebound right? It’s not like they’ll have an easy time finding a reliever with his upside for that price. They paid Chapman $10.5 million after all.

Hard for me to remember sometimes that Peguero is only 23.

I've noticed that TJ only plays every other game - is there an injury situation, or just the Manager trying to get reps for everybody on the roster? Siani seems to be doing well so far.

Planchart really struggling.

In a 30-game schedule last year, no one in the AFL played more than 25 games. Days off are fairly common for everyone due to the roster sizes. If Johnson ends up playing 20-22 games, that's average for the league.

Especially since he had over 500 plate appearances in the minors this year.

Checked Siani, and he has only played 4 games, the same number as TJ.
