[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1805061, member: 747321"] Honestly the FO should stop thinking trade first. Free agency lets you obtain talent without giving up talent in return. Why deplete an already shaky outfield when Carlos Rodon is right there, and only costs money? Overall though I'd be happy with signing/acquiring Contreras and a front line starter, because I honestly expect us to do less than that. My expectation is we sign someone like Tucker Barnhart at catcher and either roll with what we have at pitcher or sign another mid-rotation type. I really have a hard time imagining we pay $25 mil/yr to someone, even if Waino retires. If Waino comes back, not a chance. Again, hope I'm wrong! [/QUOTE]
