Unless Bartolo is coming in as a concessions consultant for the ballpark, I'll pass.
I want him as our DH.
Rather bring in Franco Harris as our DH

Triston McKenzie
Luis Oviedo

I understand we're giving up a haul in each scenario, more so for Chapman obviously, but do you think the Rangers and A's are actually willing to part with those guys with so much team control remaining for each?
I'm legitimately asking. I know the A's traded Donaldson when he still had a ton of years left, but they have to look at that in hindsight as a mistake, right?
It would also help is Triston would be healthy and stay healthy.Oakland says no; I think Chapman is near untouchable. The Indians give up quite a haul there, but I think Chapman is worth it
I wonder what Whit Merrifield would cost. He's under control through 2023 at a very cheap rate, but he's already 30 and the Royals blow.
Would love to add him to the mix with Frankie and Jose at the top of the lineup.
Adam Eaton, with team options for 2020 and 2021 is another guy I'd look into with the Nationals struggling.
