Following up on that last, I had managed to forget that Noot has 102 starts in CF, 23% of his starts in MLB. Maybe he’s the guy there for next year? I wonder if they will start to think they might have a chance in 2027, if there is a season, with Doyle, Cijintje, Roby, Mautz, Fitts, and Molina as possible start the season in AAA, but could help for the playoff push, and if jnevel is right about Mathews. Two or three of the Mathews, Doyle, Cijintje, Roby, Dobbins, Fitts, and Molina hot in September and this could be an interesting team.
This thinking likely affects what they think of offers for Noot and Burly.
