Russell Dorsey

He's not thriving against left-handed pitching, but also that makes him less valuable.

So, like, I think there are a lot of things that you have to try to balance.

Is there a young kid in the minor leagues that's tearing it up and is like, maybe we want to get this kid a look?

I don't think you're going to banish him to Siberia.

this short into his career.

I just don't think they're going to do that.

I'm a never say never guy when it comes to transactions because I've seen a lot of guys get moved that I didn't think would get moved.

You know what I mean?

It's not like he's costing you anything financially.

He could potentially start somewhere else.

Yeah, there might be other scouts and GMs that see that.

On the club control portion of it where it's like,

Correct.

Also, they don't have a ton of dudes under club control after...

this year last year on his contract yeah he has three more years after this oh it's a three more oh man he's that guy he signed in December of 22 yeah so that's seven that was a seven year deal yeah 7-1-77 he's that guy that's always got three more years left on his contract so yeah Ian Happ Nico um

look say yeah say yeah like they have guys on the roster that will be free agents very very soon so it's not like you can just abandon him and it's like oh shoot i wish we had that guy with five years of club control on the rosters yeah and i think that probably means more to that value is perhaps i don't think it's his greatest value to the team right now but maybe it's 1a

The club control portion of it?

Yeah.

I mean, I think it changes the calculation.

And who's to say there isn't a point in the year where he has to get the bats in Iowa?
