He even originally comes from the Rangers organization, just like Mikolas did. What's his mustache situation? Lizards eaten per 9? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Mike Schildt is one of the (3) finalists for NL manager of the year lol. How ironic would it be if he won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this shows is that the National voters dont actually pay attention, just look at standings and headlines (i.e. winning streak) Because his actual managing was atrocious for 95% pf the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he going to be looking at all option, and likely wants to look for somewhere that hes go a path to the majors. But it keeps him out of the Rule 5 draft, and lets him make his own decision on his future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, that's how pretty much all these guys are that are younger when they go over to Japan. They're all guys who flamed out early, or never made it. Some guys need that 2nd chance later. The hard thing is being able to identify the guys that can make the successful transition back due to changes they've implemented. Clearly, with him having lots of interest, teams think he's that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Jon Heyman of MLB.com reports that the Athletics are willing to listen to trade offers on their veterans, including Frankie Montas, Chris Bassitt, and Sean Manaea. It's no surprise at this point. Going beyond the starting pitchers, the Athletics also figure to field offers on the likes of Matt Chapman and Matt Olson. Manaea projects to be the most expensive of the A's starting pitchers in 2022, but all three are due raises in arbitration. While that might not work for the A's at this point, interest should be vast for this entire group of players. Sign me up for Manea. He'd be a great fit for our staff. Has 1 year left and is arbitration eligible, so can't image he would cost too much compensation wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he'll be cheap, but I don't think it's going to cost as much as some think if the reports are true that A's are 'desperate' to shed almost $40-50M in payroll. Olson and Chapman are their premier guys that will bring back the big hauls. With Manaea's shoulder injury history, it dampens his market IMO.

Whether we actually sign one is a different story. As much as I hate sounding like a Debbie downer, it doesn't appear the Cardinals are going to be big players in the FA market for shortstops. Seems their priority is securing the bullpen and grabbing one more starter. I think Marcus Stroman is gonna be a top target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I think they kick the tires of the top SS guys. I think it's more realistic we'll sign a starter. My greatest hope for the SS position is that Delvin Perez figures out how to be a good player. I was excited the first half of last year, but his numbers dropped pretty hard in the second half.
