Samad has to be hoping another team picks him up.
I am sure one will. Nice little player.
FWIW Samad Taylor cleared waivers last January.

A very worthwhile FWIW.

Taylor and Bliss both seem like guys that could put it together for a few years at some point.

Between them and Young/Emerson, I'd be fine if they skip adding the 2B at this point..

At least get a 3B.. or a DH if that's too costly for their tiny purses...

But do something to get better...

That's the beauty of Donovan he can play third or second.

Insanity. That's what it seems like a 3 year contract for Geno would cost, total. But he'll probably get paid too.

Hard to hate on Dipoto's pump-the-brakes strategy these days when a pretty unimpressive 2B gets 42 million bucks.

But I still hate it..

It is but $126M for Bo is a hell of a lot better deal than $240M for Tucker. Bo had a 134 wRC+ this season and is a year younger. Tucker has a 136 wRC+ and has missed 120 games the past two seasons.

Geno is 6 years older and has zero defensive versatility Id say Bo's contract will have very little effect on what Geno gets.
