Justin Turner was also coming off a 5 WAR season in which he played in 151 games.  Donaldson is coming off a 1.3 WAR season in which he played in 52 games.  That's his high point IMO.

That's still over 4 Win production if you extrapolate it.  He was worth 5.1 Wins in only 122 games the year before.  It's a gamble on his health for sure, but there is still a good bit of upside there.  I could certainly see him getting that deal.

Dog named Wrigley.

Blackhawks fan.

Bulls fan.

Wants to be back to back with Bryant.

And now we learn his favorite food is in Chicago.

 

 

He wants to be here. Sign him already, dammit.

I don't think the fact that his wife is BFFs with Jessica Bryant gets mentioned enough.  Anyone who is married knows that a happy spouse makes life a million times more enjoyable.  They can pal around during all the road trips when Bryce and Kris are gone.

Any idea or rumor who replaces him?

I saw someone mention the possibility of Greg Maddux, but the source wasn't very credible.  Honestly have no idea.

Jesse Rodgers says Hottovy could get an internal promotion into the spot.
