FIRE SALE!!!!!
Didn't get anywhere near what we gave up for him.
Starting to wonder if Hazen should be on the hot seat...
I was glad they traded for Marte because we needed a CF but it obviously backfired. With the pandemic and likely work stoppage after 21’ it’s clear they’re trying to slash payroll.
This brings the Dbacks down to a $62 million dollar payroll in 2021 with 16 million in deferred salaries from Greinke and 5 million from Leake depending on what he does.
Added to the current losing streak on the records, a fire sale is going
to make it difficult to root for our team, let alone watch their games.
I can't help but wonder what Steve and BB are thinking. Yes, they
work for Fox Sports AZ, but they are the TV voices of the D-backs.
How can people like they, and we, even pretend to support the team?
I was once a fan of the team for whom they coined the phrase, The
Boys of Summer. Now, it's the Boycott of Autumn.
Edit: Unless this is part of plan to turn the CF spot over to Varsho.
That's turn it over to him, not have an "everybody" rotation
as they do at Designated Hitter.
Perhaps with Torey's inconsistent lineups, it was too
confusing for him to have two players with the name
Marte on the back of their uniforms.
I just hope he doesn't use this as an excuse to go
back to bouncing Ketel between 2B and CF.
He must certainly move Ketel back to the heart of
the batting order with Starling gone . . . mustn't he?
Ketel stays put in the order. Walker moves up to #3. Peralta stays at 4, Escobar to 5. Just my guess.
As for position for Ketel, I would expect he will bounce back and forth CF/2B. Torey may go heavy Locastro/Jay in CF?
I don't see that as a problem. It's being bounced back and forth between 2B and CF that is the problem.This forum is gonna be fun when Ketel Marte is our CF next year.
