Odds are he's not vaccinated, but I haven't seen any conformation one way or another.

The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
The potential purchasers are all mlb owners. And mostly of cheap, bottom feeder teams.
This was an ongoing talking point in the previous thread.

That's a really good deal Zona signed.
15 million a year for a switch hitting super swiss army knife with legit pop when healthy? Yes please.
The only thing that would make sense here is Marte either likes Arizona or he's not 100% sure he can regain that 2019 form.

I was hoping it would be Espinal 2B, Biggio RF, Hernandez CF on Springer off days. I guess I need to mentally prepare my self for Montoyo to over use Tapia this year.

Should be a good AAA-AAAA rotation. Enough guys with experience and recent good performance to feel okay.
Any word on Joey Murray’s health this spring?
Or Jackson Rees?

I'm perfectly fine with Tapia getting a shot at CF when Springer isn't there, at least until he proves he can't do it. He was a CF through the minors and the Rockies never really gave him a shot there, though the numbers are excellent in a tiny (almost meaninglessly so) sample.
The optics of losing Siemen, matz and Ray can definitely be twisted poorly

Did your team get an A ... or an F? MLB offseason grades for all 30 teams
From the front offices that scored big with major moves to the clubs that failed completely, we grade every franchise's hot stove haul.
Reds B-, Red Sox get a C+, Angels get a C+ - all makes sense that these teams have a higher grade than the Jays.
And the teams that pretty much did nothing have the same grade as the Jays; Padres, Astros and Rays. Astros just lost an MVP candidate and replaced him with a prospect.
I mean Hernandez(cf)+Biggio(rf)+Espinal (2b) is probably better then Tapia(cf)+Hernandez(rf)+Biggio (2b) but I'm just speculating. I just hope Montoyo can go with the hot bat and adjust to the best lineup possible which I'm not that confident in. I guess I'm more concerned about Montoyo then the players them selves. Tapia should do fine in CF, I just don't have confidence in Montoyo to not over use him if he isn't good.

He can still get into a game. Assigning them to the minors doesn’t prevent that. I would think it’s more of a pruning the group down for workouts and practice reps they’re going to want the normal group together and the minor groups together. The starting guys still aren’t going to be playing 9 innings every day so some minor league guys will still come along and play
I was more surprised Palacios got optioned. I didn’t think he would make the team but I thought he’d be in consideration enough that he’s be one of the final cuts
I mean, they lost 2 guys that combined for 14 WAR. It’s not unreasonable. The two guys essentially replacing them had 8.9 WAR.
