I think there is a list of 4 or 5 players who could be bumped. Verdugo, when you think about it, brings nothing to the table to keep him, as he has been an average glove in left field, with an average arm, even when he throws to the wrong area, and a sub-average bat once the newness wore off, and man has it worn off. Can't say I'm a fan of watching him watching strikes go by with him never moving his bat off his shoulder and then with 2 strikes maybe swinging at anything. After him, we have to look at Arcia, especially after Thursday's game and they didn't use him and instead used Williams as a ss replacement. It looks like the team has moved on. How about moving both of them as they are both dead weight and bring nothing to the table for the team. I'm sure we can find someone somewhere to fill the spot if they moved both of them.

I will miss Arcia. I understand the move but I will always have a place in my heart for him. I do agree it is time for the move since Luke is simply faster if needed to pinch run. Nicky Lopez and others are availablefree agents to play defense for the long term if Allen gets hurt.

i think the only reason they kept Verdugo was in case Acuna has a set back of some kind ! They want to be ready ?????

As well as the thing about profile not being postseason eligible. Maybe they think Verdugo can step in in October if they get there.
