This site may have the largest gap between amazing articles and pure crap submitted on any sports website. I don't want to single out one author but everyone knows who I am talking about.
JW Williams is defintely not redundant if he can take the position of Monasterio or possibly Seigler as the utility guy on the roster. Chris Taylor and Ben Zobrist gave their teams a big advantage years ago and Jett may be that guy for the Crew.
The only thing I think the team may do is add another veteran starter. Lots of interesting names still left that need a home.
Littell and Bassitt are likely to be durable enough to start pretty much every 5th day.
Otherwise we might sign old friends Montgomery and Quintana.
My pick would be to try and sign Littell on a reasonable 2 year contract.
I think the only trade that everyone liked was the Contreras trade. I think once people dig into the guys we are getting a little more, they will understand why we did the trade.
I didn't see the video but huge could mean lots of teams putting in bids?
I trust Murray's sources when it comes to the team. At this point, I'd be surprised if Freddy is on the roster Opening Day
Turang's power improved seemed to coincide with putting on a lot of muscle. Pratt seems pretty well built already so I'm not sure if he will have that in him.
Pratt just seems like a guy that is willing to put in the work to get it done. I don't think he will be a star but I think he will be a solid MLB player.
He had a 156 wRC+ in AA as a 21 year old.
Cooper Pratt's wRC+ in AA was 106.
For the "traditional" people, he hit .261/.363/.465 with 17 homers for an OPS of .828.
