Machete

As best I can tell we only have Castro under contract for 2022. Have I missed a Machete resigning?

Think he had a two year deal.

He signed an extension in April that should keep him here through 2023.

So far in July: .297/.366/.676 with 4 homers in 13 games.

Already 9 longballs this year. Most he ever had in a season was 14 back with the Angels in 2017 but he also played in 138 games that year.

You cannot control Machete. You can only hope to slow him down.

Hold on, trying to picture Machete somehow running slower.

I was gonna say, he slows down any more he’s moving backwards.

Machete for Soto, straight up.

Are you crazy? They’ll at least have to send us a couple prospects, too.

Played in his 90th game today which vested what would otherwise have been a club option for next year. He’ll be making $4.5MM.
