[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1799972, member: 747321"] Nice rundown! I love Verlander, but man, he's gonna be 40. He's gonna be looking for $30-40 mil a year. He had an amazing season so no reason to think he can't still make that a good deal but it makes me nervous and I also just don't see it as the kind of deal the FO would go for. Think Rodon would be a great get. 2 consecutive 5+ WAR seasons. And he's 29. For catcher, I too would prefer Murphy. Problem is the A's are going to ask a lot for him. Not Soto level, but any package would need to include at least a couple of the guys people didn't want to give up for Juan friggin Soto, so not sure what the appetite for that would be. If I could add anyone on this list it would be Trae Turner. He'd fit such a huge need for us. Good OBP (.343) with elite speed and plenty of pop (21 hr this season, 28 in 2021). He'd be the perfect lead off batter. Swanson or Nimmo would be great adds too. [/QUOTE]
