Like hell I was going to leave the return of Deck McGuire buried in the offseason thread.

May as well call it an offseason now. We’ve basically just caused a massive power shift in the AL. Welcome home, Upper Deck.

Wow, I just checked. Russ Adams is 37. How time flies.

Oh, I was hoping it was going to be Noah Syndergaard.

He made his MLB debut last season with the Cincinnati Reds, appearing in six games in September including two starts. He spent most of last season with the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos where he posted a 9-9 record with a 2.79 ERA in 27 starts.

I was thinking it was either Brett Lawrie or Colby unretired.

Hopes from reading clickbait headline were not realized.

Damn you Schad.

Why would we bring Bautista back? He's pretty bad now...

Because Jose is the best.

Sentimental reasons. Besides. respectable franchises let their icons retire with the team if they want.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we bring Bautista back expecting him to be a main contributor. But if he's willing to come back as a bench vet, I'm not saying no.

Not really, not saying McGuire is anything special but he could possibly be useful. Bautista is past being useful

Sure but the player also needs to know when to call it quits.
