I do wonder if the banning of video footage in the dugout may have disrupted some routines more than others; maybe that was a factor, who knows. Long has his work cut out for him. And at least no draft pick was involved.
that's what JD Martinez said. Frankly, I'm disappointed with Schwarber. No sense being hesitant to say it. He's another guy with sub-par defense and exposed to LHP. I guess Turner, Castro, and Gomes will be happy because he'll see a ton of lefties this year. Kieboom maybe too. Frankly, I now wish we had Michael Taylor around to give us a righty backup bat. I see $10MM as no bargain, and perhaps limiting what else we do.
Maybe the next shoe to drop will be a Suarez trade. I kind of think the money on Schwarber kind of blocks getting into a LeMahieu or Realmuto bidding war (not to mention Brantley / Ozuna).
