I agree if he had a market he opts out.Plus after reading that ESPN article about Betts and looking at a guy like Jesse Winker. He's the perfect DH type, platoon him with a guy that kills lefties and you could get close to Martinez production for pennies on the dollar. There are a bunch of guys like him. Martinez made sense for us, but he only makes sense for a few AL teams, most can spend their money in better ways. I think we can agree we aren't trading him to the Yankees and they likely pass anyways. If he picks the next three highest revenue teams, he's basically untradable unless you pay down his salary or some rebuilding team is stupid. Even if you find a team, you won't get much. In order to trade him, there needs to be one team not on his three-team block list (or willing to buy out the clause) that thinks a one-year rental plus a draft pick if he opts out is worth a small prospect package. In reality, as long as they give us a prospect equivalent to the draft pick we'll lose re-signing him, we're 100% happy. Even as an OF, JDM represents a potential upgrade for most clubs. [/div][/quote]The team that is willing to do all of this, probably doesn't exist. Who would want JDM as a outfielder at this point? He couldn't play the outfield for more than a week last year without a sore back and he can't move around out there.

Locking this thread. We feel pretty strongly about our disdain for "mega-threads." Stuff gets lost and it's very difficult to follow the smaller, more detailed interesting discussions. Want to talk about the CBT, Mookie, Brock Holt, non-tenders, early minor league free agency? Please feel absolutely free to start a new thread!
