There is no realistic upgrade here.

Thereās little to no evidence that lineup protection is actually a thing.

They wonāt trade Javier after just signing him to an extension. Iām not sure Urquidy brings much back. Trading Valdez is an interesting thought.

PeƱa is basically a league average hitter who plays above average defense. If thatās the worst player in your lineup, youāre doing fine. He does need to regain his power, though.

They need to sign another bat to replace Brantley, but otherwise the biggest upgrade is just letting Diaz catch 100+ games. Your lineup is then pretty well set.

Tucker is under team control for a few more years. Maldonado will be a free agent, so no need to waive him. He will be easily affordable in money. But I donāt think the team can āaffordā to keep him and have starters ask for him as their catcher, stunting Diazās growth and handicapping the lineup. Backup catchers are plentiful, just sign anyone else.

Joe Maddon is just Dusty with an abrasive personality. Hard pass.

Iād settle for not actively making the team worse.

This take is so dumb. Compare that OPS to other CFs. Look at his wRC+. Look at his defensive metrics, which are above average. Oh, and heās literally shown improvement every single year. Basically, every single thing you said is wrong.

Hi Dusty!

They have a top 10 (or better) CF already. Itās just the manager would rather give equal playing time to a utility infielder there.

I had Nashville hot chicken last week, and I can authoritatively say he sucks, now that I identify with the culture.

This is a reasonable answer. Thanks.- Ontology of Morality
Iād like to understand the third way proposed by those objecting to the premise of the thread. Every detailed explanation of the supposed āfalse dichotomyā so far has just been a defense of moral relativism. Which is one of the options in the poll. Im not sure what Iām missing.- Ontology of Morality
So there arenāt objective moral facts in your view. The second option of his alleged ābullshitā statement. I really donāt understand the reaction to this entire thread.- Ontology of Morality
If not angry, irrational.- 2023 ALCS: Rangers vs Astros
And Alvarezās are better than either of them.- Israel vs everyone war thread
Iād say that strongly implies multiple trips. - Ontology of Morality
