Saw another board discussing an expansion draft possibility in the next 2-3 years. If the rules were the same as the 97 expansion draft we would be allowed to protect 15 guys and we wouldn’t have to protect anyone drafted in 2021 or 2022 if they haven’t made their major league debut or any HS guys drafted in 2020. All the international signees since our ban ended would be exempt too.

Obviously a lot will change between now and whenever expansion actually happens but If the draft were this off-season I think you protect

Acuña
Albies
Riley
Olson
Murphy
d’Arnaud
Arcia
Harris
Fried
Strider
Wright
Soroka
Elder
Grissom
Shuster

Minter, Matzek, Iglesias, Ozuna on the bubble.

Minter and Matzek because it’s hard to justify protecting a non-closer reliever without much control and I think you can also dare teams to take Ozuna or Iglesias’s salary.

Look this has nothing to do with Ozuna off field and he’s been good since he turned around his shite sandwich of a start but we need that money. I wish we could get value in a trade now that DH is universal it’s possible idk.

Didn’t we just extend Darnnaud? Someone who legitimately cannot play defense is almost unacceptable and we really can’t DH our C not playing C Murphy is just better than Ozuna and Travis is FAR more consistent even if not as much power

Shuster shouldn’t even be on the bubble. Give me Ozuna all day, every day, bad contract and all. Even when he’s not producing for himself, he’s an A+ teammate.
