I'd rather stick with what we have. Speaking of which, Cole had a solid start today in his first ST start. Some details about his off-season and some quotes from Rizzo..

I think the Nats should role with Cole or whoever emerges to be the 5th starter, and if it's not working out, or an opportunity emerges, they should make a move before the trade deadline.

PleaseBlitz Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Man, Adam Lind only got a minor league deal? MFer hit .303/.362/.513 last year in 301 plate appearances last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Lind shoulda gotten a nice multi-year deal after last year. Crazy. Jorge Castillo saying we're waiting to see if Arrieta's asking price drops before we decide on going after him. Rizzo being all professional about it for some reason.

Mr. Sinister Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If Cole is the guy, then hopefully he's up for it. May have to rely on strong pitching earlier in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 At this point with it being March, I’d imagine Arrieta’s asking price is tanking. Anyone think he’d be available for a one year deal, possibly with player option for a second? Think identical to Weiter’s deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, we'd lose 2 picks and $1m in international bonus pool money. I'd still rather stick with what we have. I have serious injury concerns with him too.

Adam Lind just signed a minor league deal for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always roll with Cole or whoever and make a move for a fill in starter/long reliever via trade mid-season if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a J-Zimm profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
