Of the three, I like the idea of moving Mayer. There is a shit ton of projection to this and nothing more, but keeping Teel at a premium position makes a ton of sense, even better if he develops a good report with some of the younger pitching prospects. If Anthony is as hoped, perhaps he replaces O'Neill in '25. If Mayer is moved, we still have Story at SS and perhaps Yorke can man 2nd in '25 unless a longer range solution is found this season.
Strongly agree - and I like Mayer.
But for me Anthony is an “only if another team is desperate“ move (ie Kirby, George).
Though the team has Story (SS) and now Grissom (2b). Not to mention Yorke, Rafaela, Meidroth, Cespedes and Zanatello. It’s easier to stomach moving a MI in A+/AA (as in hasn’t yet produced at AA) than Anthony as the corner OF bat or Teel at C.
They “need” controllable MLB starting pitching, so if Mayer can get you another Bello, that’s the move I’d make. I don’t mean “give him away” and there are maybe 3 or 4 guys I’d advocate moving him for that have even been whispered as available (Valdez, Cease, Luzardo, Gilbert).
But Anthony I’d only even consider for Gilbert of those, and I‘m not certain I’d do it (I’d at least try for Kirby first). Teel I’d probably ultimately move for Valdez, Gilbert and I think Luzardo, but the injuries there scare me enough that I admittedly waffle on it.
