I may be one of the more ardent Ortiz fans on this forum. I love his glove. I like his bat (at least the 2024 version). I predicted he would be “much improved” in the middle 54 games of the season. He improved for a bit but has regressed over the last few weeks. I didn’t like the way Murphy publicly ridiculed him. Neto is likely not available as an upgrade for Ortiz, so I would be thrilled if he gets red hot & we get to keep our prospects. My hope is we don’t trade for a third baseman. I’m not excited about McMahon OR Suarez. I love Durbin & would like to continue with the current crew. The one exception would be adding O’Hearn or another option at first base.
