Does this maybe mean JBJ is being traded?

We have had good luck with Kevin _illars in the past, so I like this.

Or platooned...

I’ve been asking this for a while now.

I was hoping for Puig, but this is a solid signing. Whole starting OF is left handed and I don't want to see any JD in OF.

Yes because Kevin Pillar and his robust .766 OPS against LHP will keep those southpaws honest...

Better than JBJ

Better than JBJ

Better than a Benintendi, too. But not Verdugo.

Pillar’s a platoon with JBJ. But really all he does is bring maybe slightly improved offense while maintaining elite defense...

With Puello coming in and Pillar, it makes you wonder if JBJ is next out of town

Puello is Gorkys 2.0. He’s on an MiLB contract...

Hope he comes cheap because he's overrated

He’ll be half the price of JBJ and almost the same player. Good signing. He gets hot from time to time too.

I sure hope so. Bradley has proved what he can do with a bat in his hands here.....and what he can't do. Lets see if we can get a bag of used golf balls for him.

He's owed $11M. Maybe we find a team looking to save some money and had a decent pitcher making $12-18M a year. We'd still be significantly under the lux tax, but we'd be much better with our rotation and maybe close to the same in CF with Pillar/Puello vs JBJ.
