Just the fact that we have to talk about budget constraints with a team set up to succeed for years is infuriating. The Dodgers win the Series with half of a starting pitching staff and the M's have 5 legitimate arms 80% of which are inexpensive, and we're talking about constraints! Gahhhh
Good one Luke. M's traded Diaz, could happen w/Munoz too. M's handle pitchers well, but some of it's luck & high leverage relievers don't always age well. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arozarena gone too. He didn't seem thrilled to leave S. Florida, close to his native Cuba.
Did I hear he and Julio employ the same private hitting coach? Their all or nothing swings looked alike anyway. Wasn't impressed by either's 2024. Hope they both adopt a more Justin Turner-like approach in 2025.
This feels spot on. Go get a couple young bats from a contender. Seattle is a bullpen factory. Both in terms of getting innings out of journeymen guys and getting all the productivity they have to offer it seems. Good article.

Would net a similar return to Williams no?

This might be too spicy for me this AM
Not an insane possibility, and JD has a track record of trading closers.
