We have four players we have decided to non-tender in arbitration.

Two Relievers

Giovanny Gallegos - Too much money for a middle reliever IMO.

Eric Hanhold - I think we can find someone better and he is out of options.

Two Batters

Grayson Greiner - Good defensively, atrocious offensively (career OPS .635).

Braden Bishop - We just have too many other outfielders on the 40 man that can't play in AAA any longer.
We might end up keeping him and trading away a pre-arbitration player or two.
He had a "breakout year" of sorts by hitting for a .743 OPS in about 300 plate appearances.
He is only 29 and very good defensively, but it's a numbers game right now.

Rather than letting them walk for nothing, we will shop them around and take whatever we can get for them.

First Trade

Started with Grayson Greiner. There wasn't many teams interest, and some had multiple better catcher options that didn't make sense.
The one team that could actually use him is San Diego.

Here is a look at the trade we came up with.

We add two infielders for depth. They're both 23, so you never know.
Neither fits the corner infielder "profile", so we will try them at 2B/SS in AA to start 2023.
I also love that Jonny Homza is from Alaska haha!

Next we will see what we can do with Braden Bishop. His brother is over in Tampa system, maybe we look to them for a trade!
