[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1460468, member: 619279"] He'd be worse defensively in LF than 3rd base. His option next year is for $18.5MM, so as long as he doesn't crater offensively this year, they're definitely picking that up. They could possibly work that into a 3 year contract that runs through his age 36 season with the understanding there will likely be a DH in the NL starting in 2022. Unless Gorman just goes gangbusters this season, it would still be super aggressive to project him ready for full time starting 2021, which he'll only be 21. So that's only 1 year overlap at most between Carpenter and Gorman needing to play the field, they'll figure it out. [/QUOTE]
