Stearns isn't going to give him away. This notion that JJ has floated that we are going tade for bat, I find puzzling. We had one chip (Singer, who in retrospect we should have held onto for a couple more weeks after seeing he free agent starting market) and we used it... who else do we have that has value to that won't cripple our team by giving up.

Freddy? Maybe? He's a backup catcher.

Our system is still anemic, especially in the pitching department.


I just wonder what they think they have of value that we can give up after Singer.
