Hmm just mentioned his name 3 hours before Morosi made his tweet.
Coincidence? Does he lurk here huh?
3 of last 4 seasons hitting 121+ OPS+ You read the MLBTR story on moving on from Tellez at 1b. None of those options felt like an upgrade, yet they thought it would be. JC would definitely be an upgrade that would make him coveted by a good number of teams. That good ol trade value site suggests he has about 10.6M value but I'd go on he'd earn an overpay around 14M due to the competition. A comp on the team would be trading Owen Miller to them. Brown Jr and Black but lbvs, Black would be more than enough and overpay honestly. The site just doesn't grade him higher, like Luis Lara just below Black's value 5m.
While we don't need him at 3b, 1b/dh replacing Winker/Tellez would improve the team. Gotta imagine as a switch hitter, Counsell would love him 2-4 in order.
