We're talking about that on today's podcast, but I think you can use a $100k retention bonus to keep Casali by overriding his opt-out date. León would need to not reject the assignment to the minors, and I don't know if he's already signed waiving that right (like David Fletcher did) or if he would elect to leave
Yeah, there was like a week in 2023's second half where Murphy was banged up and both d'Arnaud and Tromp were on the roster. IIRC, we were without a backup infielder for a weekend and the plan apparently was Riley covering shortstop if needed while Olson moved to third and d'Arnaud moved to first or something wild. I think Eddie Rosario was the backup second baseman? Would have been wild.
If Murphy is out 13 games--do you think it would be worth it to start Baldwin's clock and to lose the rights to whoever we had to bump off the 40 man?
