Personally, I would non-tender Keller, Garrett and Nicky. I know Nicky is a fan favorite and all, but the reality is he is getting too expensive for a replacement level utility IF on a team that needs to rebuid elsewhere. Mondesi at least still has some upside and could make an elite bench player (positional flexibility, switch hitter with pop, elite defense and baserunning) where the everyday wear and tear doesn't affect him as much.

I can see the non-tender for Nicky but I'd be inclined to keep him for another season. This is probably Mondesi's last season in the organization and they need both for options up the middle I think.

I'm more pumped for next season to start than I have been since the start of 2015. It truly feels like this org has turned the page and I love all the front office and managerial moves they have made. Glad to see this team get into the 21st century!

What’s your problem with instant replay?

It’s bad and should be put on one of Jay Jaffe’s rockets and launched into the sun.

I’m going to guess you didn’t vote for Witt for PoY. He had a nice rookie season but needs to improve a lot to come anywhere close to his sky high potential
