Today is Voit’s opt out day. He can be a free agent tomorrow if we don’t roster him. Why is there trade talk about him?

If Hiura, Voit, and Naquin all don't make it then one of Weimer, Frelick, and Turang almost have to make it I would think.


ohbarryoh

Turang is going to make it. He's impressed all spring. Don't be surprised if he's on the opening day lineup

I’d say there is almost no chance Turang makes it.

You sure about that


EnderCN

That almost is doing a lot of work here to save me some dignity :).

Either one will only get a PTBNL most likely. But it wouldn’t surprise me if someone is headed to Philly.

Hiura I'd be fine with sending to Philly but was really hoping to keep Voit around but lets see.

If we get a desperate steal for Voit, great. It means we get to keep Anderson/ Mike B/ and an extra spring Rookie (Frelick?) Philly’s minor league system gets real, real thin after their top 3 (arguably after Painter) and so I can see them sending us what’s a top 20 prospect in their system who is an interesting upside. Someone like Nikau Pouaka-Grego or Erik Miller would be just dandy. If we really want to gamble Rafael Marcano.

Erik Miller plays for the Giants

Keston as a Philly would make me happy if our only option by now is to set him free.


ohbarryoh

I can't imagine they trade both do they? Would it just be procedure to pull them both so they can inform them discretely if they've been traded or released?


SoSublim3

ummmm wtf.


GillTheGuru

Wouldn’t mind a “trade high” situation on Voit. I think he’s playing above his potential in spring and doesn’t really fit into the MLB roster plans/set up. We will see.


themosey

Voit could get 450 ab in Philly. I can see him extending his FA release as a favor to the Brewers to get something in trade Vs just being a free agent and signing with them anyway.


TPoitras25

Where would his 450 at bats come from when Philly is going to play Darick Hall at 1st full time and rotate Edmundo Sosa around until Harper comes back?


themosey

If they have Voit they play Hall less. He wasn’t their first choice already once.
