Are any other teams even linked to Chapman? Feels like fait accompli. I'm not necessarily enthused by the idea but I think it's safe to say that he has a valuable floor established, and that is really what seems to concern Hoyer the most.
I actually am leaning toward some of this being true. They are going to use this year to hold a lot of auditions for prospects.
They believe that Counsell will squeeze out enough wins to be competitive.
I think they will eventually cave for Bellinger and make some ancillary moves. I'm not convinced that Jed will ever trade a prospect of significance.
