Chad Kubl started on 2021 opening day. He's only controlled for one more year, so he probably won't be a part of the 2023 rebound. I would trade him for the best available prospect not Rule 5 eligible before 2024.
We can use the roster spot and fellow posters have hinted that Kuhl wants out..
I don't see Kuhl as part of the future, either, but he may still be here up until the Deadline next July. If BC can't get a decent enough return for him in the offseason, he might keep him in hopes Kuhl has a good start in '22 and increases his value.
If what you say happens Doc, I sure as heck hope that Kuhl does not pull a Gregory Polanco and stink to high heavens. It would be nice if he pulls a Tyler Anderson and returns prospects as SyrBucco suggests.
On the other hand what if he is blocking a good Rule 5 eligible prospect from remaining in the organization.
[highlight]Neither situation takes into account what the new CBA will do to roster management.[/highlight]
That's a really good point. That's why the CBA negotiation is going to be so interesting this time around. I hope we have some good discussion about it as it's ongoing and information is leaking to the public.
