Randy was Mr October, Wander is waiting in the wings, they sold high on Snell...but they made a very uncharacteristic front-office error in handling Morton’s option. They thought they could leverage him living in Tampa and being super comfortable with the Rays situation to squeeze him for a few million by declining the 15m option and signing him for what? Maybe 11-12? Just so obnoxious. As much as it hurts the team, I’m kinda glad he called them on it. You know they got caught with their pants down because they offered 10m+ for Kluber...so this was definitely not driven by them thinking the young crew was ready and they didn’t need Morton. For shame.
Anyway, they need to clear out a bit of a logjam of infielders and they really need another starter, so hopefully there is a trade to be had here somewhere. Musgrove and Taillon seemed very gettable based on the packages but maybe they have a bigger target in mind? Castillo? It feels like the time to cash in some prospects and/or move Adames.
