AAA: Sacramento River Cats defeated the Sugarland Space Cowboys 3-1:
Blake Sabol LF- 2 for 2, HR(11). BA= .249.
Thairo Estrada 2B- 2 for 3, Sac, SB(1). BA= .333.
John Bertrand LHP- 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 10/4. ERA= 1.80.
40-man roster spots will be at a premium this winter. Giants have a decision to make about Blake Sabol. Weird situation for Thairo Estrada who is not on the 40-man roster but is arbitration eligible. Hard to imagine offering arbitration to a player who is not even on the 40-man roster. Do they just let become a free agent? Do they try to resign him as a free agent? Add John Bertrand to the growing Giants SP depth chart.
Would there would be much to lose by offering Estrada arbitration?
ReplyDeleteHe may well get a small cut from $4.7M which isn't a lot by baseball standards for a guy who can fill in a lot of positions so he would be tradable if the Giants didn't want him as a utility backup.
I just checked the box score of today’s game tied at one to one. Whisenhunt went six innings gave up one run and struck out 10. He has pitched great the past few games. Hopefully he has figured out issues. Could be another young gun moving forward in 2025
ReplyDeleteThairo has been a favorite of mine since he came up. His OPS has drifted down though from .812 in 2021 to .590 this year. Injuries have played a big part, but if they could get something for him.....I would do it.
