Abrams, very interesting name.

I imagine the Nationals might start their ask with Treya Savage, in which case that's a tougher discussion to have.

But I like Abrams as a name on the trade market.

Teruaki Sato is going to be posted from Japan, left-handed hitter with a ton of power.

really really good results um that would be really really interesting to me and you could as long as you believe he can play a corner outfield for you and brandon lau is pretty interesting to me too coming off the season that he's had with the pirates defensive improvements as well as the power that you get there um so those are some of the names that i've that i've kind of personally been circling um knowing of course that it's still pretty early in that process

you?

Yeah, he's really slowed down since that initial kind of burst of offense that he gave them.

I would still think that he's that guy for them.

And...

As always, you're going to go to the offseason, try to add some AAA catching depth to make sure that you're insulated in case of an injury to either guy.

But I would think going into the season, that's his job to lose.

I would think he's definitely on the opening day roster.

And you work with him from a defensive perspective.

standpoint obviously great arm back there a lot of strong tools that you can work with and you like the fact that he's a you know big guy strong guy switch hitter there's enough to kind of work with and the bar for being a backup catcher offensively is low enough that I think that he he

Even if he hasn't cleared it this year, he's close enough to clearing it and on such a reasonable salary.

I'm thinking that they keep him in that

Yeah, no, I agree.

I mean, he wasn't a great start to the season, but he really found his form and ended up being pretty valuable at times.

And thinking back to that start against the Royals where he struck out 10, I mean, it's not easy to do in Major League Baseball, obviously.

So, you know, there's a lot to work with there.
