<div dir="ltr">One more....anyone interested in an uncarded Alzolay? Coming off a really good 2023 but injuries killed his 2024. With RRG already carrying two UC players (Endy Rodriguez and McLain), they really can't take a third, but I do think Alzolay is an intriguing player to stash if you have the room. Karinchak went for a #6 last year so RRG would be willing to take something similar this year. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 9, 2024 at 8:01 PM Paul Schneider <<a href="mailto:badgermaniac339@gmail.com">badgermaniac339@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Since I know I sent this out before a lot of teams were really in "next season mode", here is a repost..<div><br></div><div>Generally speaking, RRG is not yet ready to compete for the playoffs this coming season, so is very willing to deal anyone not part of their long term core. Doesn't hurt to ask as there are only a few untouchables in the right deal.<br><br>While guys like <b>India, Nimmo, Toglia</b> are not being actively shopped, they could be available in the right deal.

Reasonable HR rate. Limited injury risk. Good for a solid 190 innings on a good team. Given RRGs dearth of SP, I would probably need a younger SP in return to fill innings.<br><br>2. If you are in need of a utility IF, RRG has both <b>Wisely </b>and <b>Cabrera</b> and I would prefer to not keep both. Both are in that 25 year old range so both have some level of upside. Wisely is good defensively at 2B/SS and can fill in at 1B, 3B, and CF. He also hits lefties pretty well so could be a short side platoon up the middle. Cabrera has more usage at more positions and can play everywhere but CF/C. Defensively, he is good at 3B and marginal everywhere else. He has slightly better batted ball metrics than Wisely (probably more bat upside) and hits righties better. He could function as a strong side platoon bat at 3B if you have a big hole. Both are nice utility guys to fill out your roster.<br><br>RRG does not have a need for low round picks given projected keepers, but would be open to higher or mid round picks. They also have glaring needs at C, SP, and I suppose RP. Not interested in older one year play types. Willing to take a look at young guys with promise, especially coming from teams ready to win now.<br><br>Paul<br>current RRG caretaker</div></div>
