this is basically the only way i could absorb that $30 contract for encarnacion. it's so bloated - his avg contract value is $18. would be purely a rental for the nxt few months. this would make the most sense if your plan is to build a core for the future. would make your team a lot younger. gerrit cole is the #1 ranked pitching prospect not named bundy (maybe even higher than bundy now given the injury he's dealing with).
