The Clubhouse / Re: 2025 Off-season - general thread
« Last post by Slateman on Today at 08:01:27 PM »so you think they are going to sign a corner OF, 1B and a DH.I mean, I don't see why we can't. Santander, Pederson/Winker, and then you can roll with what you have at first. That's better than what we put on the field last year.
Putting Young back in CF is basically throwing another season away. You can keep rolling out ~.650 hitters and expect to win 80 games.

Go find a cheap option at first base and DH that we can platoon with others.

Sorry, but Jacob Young is an offensive black hole and no amount of defense can make up for 30 home runs.
I don't see any way Santander and Alonso don't get at least five years. Alonso is like 2 months younger. Santander might be a bit cheaper

« Last post by Natsinpwc on Today at 07:23:43 PM »The Nats have the money, need a 1st baseman and need more home run production. Add Alonzo and leave the outfield as is.I'm sure Santander could play 1B as well as Alonso (low bar). And wouldn't be bad to have a guy who could also play the OF occasionally. The season is long. Alonso can only play 1B. I know they have money but they are not going to spend it all.

« Last post by Slateman on Today at 06:22:46 PM »Again, this is nice, but he's going against not-quite Double A pitching in an offensive environment that is comparable to Colorado.

« Last post by Slateman on Today at 06:19:31 PM »So when I brought up Santander last week it was where would he play? I assume DH and some OF and maybe some 1B. Has he played 1B at all? I assume he could learn.He plays the OF.
