We acquired extra questions than standard, with a heavy concentrate on some latest rumors/reporting on big-name NL Central gamers like Nolan Arenado and Cody Bellinger. We’ll deal with that, plus questions on the Phillies’ choices, the Reds’ outlook following just a few early strikes, the latest wave of non-tendered gamers, how the A’s can really spend some cash and extra.
Onto the questions!
Mark asks:
Ought to the Cardinals not discover a commerce accomplice for Nolan Arenado (or one which he agrees to), how do they type out the logjam? Gorman, Donovan, Saggese–and finally Wetherholt–at 2B/3B, and 1B/DH is form of occupied now with Contreras and Burleson. Looks as if in the event that they plan to let the youthful guys play, powerful to see how there may be sufficient taking part in time to go round.
Eldon asks:
The Yankees are rumored to have curiosity in Nolan Arenado. Would not this be an excessive amount of just like the Donaldson fiasco of only a very quick time in the past Hopefully Steinbrenner and/or Cashman would not dare do this once more…would they? An growing older participant with a giant contract who appears to be in decline? Why?
