  3. This is just a whole lot of repeated pie in the sky for the 10th video that won't happen. Hernandez is going to have multiple options. Santander's market will be more limited to really short term deals with team options (maybe a second year player option), but it's not going to be for a $20M first season. And he's not worth a 4 year deal. The outfielders will be from the O'Neil, Kepler, Conforto tier.

  5. Profar is post 30 and had a career year. Santander has power but can’t find first base with a map and compass otherwise. That doesn’t age well. If Hernandez lands with the Reds it’d take a minor miracle. Let’s move on to better and more realistic targets.

  7. I'd say Teoscar is the best option and I'd like to see them sign Randal Grichuk too, he's got some good pop and mashes lefties. No more games of expecting getting one hit by a left handed pitcher
