Breaking we just got Donovan!

[Donn Beach]

Tampa tends to be smart about these things.

Some here like to view him as a failure but that was a tremendous leap he made last season after being drafted in 2023

I think if you look at him as a prospect there's a lot to like. The defense gives him a floor.

And terms of an under slot draft strategy he was a success wasn't he

I don't get the excitement man.

I watched his highlight reel. Brought another guy to mind. One that most don't seem thrilled with.

Put this guy (and his .614 OPS vs lefties in 2025) in T-Mobile, and he's J.P Crawford v2.0.

Last year, and last 3 years numbers:

They still need another bat. Donovan is a high on base guy. He's perfect for the top of a lineup. But they need another big hitter.

They are always going to need another bat. At this point they are relying on guys they have stepping up, Emerson

Well that's the great thing about the Trade Deadline. It isn't until the end of July. I didn't think we were getting Naylor and Geno back last year in Spring Training either. I still think Polanco could be had if Cole Young and Colt Emerson aren't ready. Very lefty heavy infield lineup. JP, Colt, Cole, Naylor, Donovan. Could use a Right handed bat.

You mean we could trade for Polanco at the deadline?

Refsynder is their righty

No money left. Looked to be tapped out. Ownership looks to be tight as usual. Would hate to have spent 15 mil on Suarez.

Right hand bat like Suarez? 15 mil wasn’t an overpay. Just tight ownership.
