Yeah the funny thing with Grisham is that if he did this with his usual defense (or even just average), he'd be an easy no and have teams knocking down the door, but I could see in the "feeling out the market" phase of his QO deciding he learned that teams were wary about both sides of the ball

I'll also add that I'm not sure that it says a ton about *this* offseason, but I know that my take being "let's wait and see" isn't really much of a take. For now, all I see it as is four midmarket guys taking great AAV, not something that portends a bad market for way better players

A pain, the pain, any pain, whatever

I’m biting on a belt just to ease a pain

Jorge Cantú, Gaby Sánchez, and Mike Jacobs

I don't think they'll be *good* but I think they can be fun, and they're a 1B away (O'Hearn? Trade a pitcher for someone longer-term?) from me really liking their offense
