We have a stockpile of talent in the upper minors with the big club loaded with the guys that have made us 51-25 and that have multiple years of control. Teams like Detroit that have salary issues, an aging farm club and a weak farm system will find guys we have attractive.


I still don't see the need for a team with the 2nd most runs in the league with a fatigued bullpen and a plague of injuries to the starting pitching staff emptying the farm system for an expensive position player rental.

J.D. Martinez makes $9.5 million this year and next. So we'd have to take his contract on for next season too? Why? Aoki is on a 1 year deal for $5.5 million.

If you knew that this was actually the final year of Martinez's contract, would that maybe change your argument a little?

He's a free agent after this season.

1. Wouldn't be emptying the farm
2. We have a legitimate shot to win a World Series and it sounds like Sonny Gray wouldn't take more than 1 of our top 6 prospects. Try to win the whole damn thing.
