To me it's either Kelly or just go with TDA and Rivera another year while waiting for Nido or a better option. I hate paying anyone over 30 multi million's as there's way to much downside to consider. I'd rather spend on the bullpen and a CFer if a very good one is available in trade. Trea Turner anyone?

It'd kill me to watch TC "try to get him going" over the last two years of his contract while Nido rots on the bench or at AAA. You're right, there isn't much catching talent around the league, and unless you can get Kelly (and then only if you believe he can do better than 31% throwing out runners at the big league level) I'd bite the bullet here and try to get Nido a look as soon as possible. That's not a perfect answer on a "win now" team (though we could be kidding ourselves there anyway) but given how few good options there are league-wide, and given his hitting over the past two seasons, and his defensive reputation and arm, he's gotta be a top 10 catching prospect in baseball. If you're really done with TdA (I'm agnostic on that) then either re-sign Rivera or some other smart, leader-like backup catcher who can play D and handle a staff, and get him up here to start his career and see how it goes.That Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687771146317665283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-91722347499997502082017-06-12T09:27:22.477-04:002017-06-12T09:27:22.477-04:00Nido I am hopeful for in 2018.

I would offer that much even though so far he isn't hitting that well this year. He is my number 1 target.<br /><br />Target 1A would be Kelly or Realmuto. <br />Kelly we would have to offer more than either Nimo or Cecchini. I don't even believe if you offered both of them that the Cards would take it. You might have to throw in a Molina or Conlon in that deal.<br /><br />If the Marlins are really open to trading him, you would have to back up the truck filled with prospects to get him. I would prefer him over all 3 but I wouldn't want to pay the price to get him. <br />Zozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328187548616168708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-81760179745609798232017-06-12T08:27:10.764-04:002017-06-12T08:27:10.764-04:00Nido has fought back from a very slow start (.196 ...Nido has fought back from a very slow start (.196 in April)and is having a decent year...<br /><br />161-AB, .280/.326/.460/785, 5-HR<br /><br />He's 23 and a far better defensive catcher than d'Arnaud.<br /><br />The one question is whether he could make the jump next year from AA ballMack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-50923178380238475592017-06-12T08:17:46.522-04:002017-06-12T08:17:46.522-04:00I would much rather go with Kelly than Lucroy.
