Would be curious on the next episode to hear your thoughts on John Means. I think Pivetta/Manaea are the best options for low(er) cost SP but Means has been good (but injured). Turnbull/Boyd/Buehler are interesting options as well.
For OF, I haven't heard anyone talk about Canha. Seems like a very Markakis type of pick up.
Time for AA to step up!! I trust him but this is a crucial moment for the team and next season.
I want to see motivated acuna come back. Last year he was mailing it in until he got hurt — remember, he got benched before he got hurt.
Seriously… I don't think Acuna makes it back before 50 games next year…maybe even more.
Time to go get Crochet and Robert.
