I’m guessing this means there’s another trade coming that will get us a 3B for a 1-2 year deal.
Garver only has 2 years left on his contract.
As for 3B, if they don’t get someone else, Andy Ibanez actually had a very good second half buried in the non sense of last year. He was better than IKF from July on.

passan looks and acts like robert duvall's character from the natural
a straight up arsehole
This goes right along with teams picking up players off our defense from last year. All I keep thinking is “did they watch us play at all?”

Surprised Olson was traded before Freeman signed, but Atlanta always seemed the most likely destination.
He’s from there, he’s 5 years younger, he can hit 30-40 HR’s a season (maybe more now that he’s leaving the Coliseum) and plays good defense.
Unfortunate Braves are not bringing back the former MVP and face of the franchise right after winning the World Series.
As for the A’s, they’re doing what they do.
Total fire sale/rebuild as expected.
But I’m impressed at their returns for Bassitt and Olson so far.
MLB Pipeline’s updated A’s prospect rankings have Langliers #2, Pache #3, Ginn #6, Cusack #7, Estes #14, Oller #23.
We’ll see what they get for guys like Chapman, Manaea, and Montas.

OUCH!!!
It was a nice idea, but he was never going to be a Ranger buddy.

Nick Lodolo is #42…
[There’s also several recognizable former Frog commits on the list … like Shane Baz (12), Alek Thomas (18), Quinn Prister (54).]

Also Brandon Williamson was recently traded to the Reds, and could be pitching with Lodolo in the majors at some point.
MLB Pipeline took a question about him…

Which pitcher (Petty or Williamson) projects to be a top of the rotation guy in the future of the Reds? -- @dlights44
Chase Petty, who joined the Reds via the Twins in the Sonny Gray trade, had one of the most electric arms in the 2021 Draft. The New Jersey high school product can run his fastball up to 102 mph with plenty of sink and run, and he complements his heater with an upper-80s slider that can be devastating. But if I can pick only one of these guys to be a future frontline starter, I'm taking Brandon Williamson.
A 2019 second-round pick out of Texas Christian whom the Mariners used as the key piece in the Jesse Winker/Eugenio Suárez deal, Williamson is a physical left-hander who flashes four plus pitches and throws strikes. His best offering is his upper-70s downer curveball, and he also features a fastball that reaches 97 mph with carry, a tight mid-80s slider/cutter and a tumbling mid-80s changeup. He posted a 3.39 ERA with a 153/33 K/BB ratio in 98 1/3 innings between High-A and Double-A last year and should arrive in Cincinnati in the near future.
