It is time for one more version of the weekly MLB Mailbag right here at MLBTR. I am pinch-hitting for MLBTR proprietor Tim Dierkes this week.
We obtained extra questions than common, with a heavy concentrate on some latest rumors/reporting on big-name NL Central gamers like Nolan Arenado and Cody Bellinger. We’ll handle that, plus questions on the Phillies’ choices, the Reds’ outlook following a number of 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 companion for Nolan Arenado (or one which he agrees to), how do they type out the logjam? Gorman, Donovan, Saggese–and ultimately 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, robust to see how there’s 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 brief time in the past Hopefully Steinbrenner and/or Cashman would not dare try this once more…would they? An ageing participant with an enormous contract who appears to be in decline? Why?
