Yea, Yoshida being on the team really complicates things. I truly thought someone was going to get dealt at the deadline to clear up the logjam. But I feel like the best way to handle the outfield/DH dilemma is to rotate between the four outfielders (when healthy). Unless you’re giving one of Duran, Rafaela, Anthony, or Abreu a day off, one of them should DH for a game while the others play the field. Although I’d argue, keep Rafaela in CF as much as possible lol
True (the only guarantee in sports). And you can never have enough pitching!
Idk if I necessarily agree that it was the reason why they didn’t make a trade. I’m just using Duran as an example because his name was thrown around a lot - I don’t think they traded him because he started to get hot just before the deadline and his value as a teammate really showed.
