Brewers would be willing to bring back Thames at their price (below the $7.5M)

✔ @BNightengale
The Atlanta #Braves, who hope to re-sign sign free agent Josh Donaldson, naturally give him a qualifying offer while declining Julio Teheran's $12 million option.

Good article that lays out every scenario that could play out for ARZ this offseason. Second article I've read this week mentioning Kole Calhoun & Avisail Garcia as OF options. Starlin Castro would be intriguing at 2B if we keep Escobar at 3B. Only part of article I disagree with is the mention that we do not need SP. We need a front line guy like Bumgardner IMO as Ray is not the one to lead the rotation.

AZ Central consolidated a list of predictions for ARZ through various sites. A lot of predictions for the mid level guys like Puig, Calhoun, Holt, Chisek & the Japanese CF, Akiyama. Makes sense as I don't think Hazen breaks the bank but predictions for Bumgardner are that he won't get more than $20M a year due to the mileage on his arm. If you can get Bumgardner for less than $25M a year I would consider it since he would provide you an ace without 1) breaking the bank like Greinke & 2) not giving up legit prospects for one.
Get Bumgardner and fill out the rest of your holes with Calhoun / Puig, Starlin Castro, Josh Lindblom & Daniel Hudson. Move Bradley to closer and this team looks good going into next year.

They will not get MadBum and quite frankly I don't want him at this point. While the Giants haven't been good he seems to be trending the wrong direction as well.

After Archie was dropped from the 7-8-9 rotation, he was moved to closer out of
desperation near the end of the season.
And he made every appearance an adventure, usually putting two runners on base.
He has a personality. And a beard. But that shouldn't decide his role in the bullpen.
I can see showing loyalty to Archie by going back to 7th inning reliever. Archie
needs something that a skilled closer does not. A safety net!
And, based upon last season, we need a new setup man, as well. With Archie, if
he earns it, as one of four covering the 7-8-9 rotation all season long (with Archie
7 or, if really necessary, 8 on occasion).
I would say that, as things stand now, the D-backs pitching staff look does not
look good.
Especially with an unproven new Pitching Coach serving as Torey's go-fer.

Josh Donaldson is already (and predictably) a hot name on the free-agent market. The Rangers and Phillies are among the teams that have interest in the third baseman, who put together a very strong 2019 season (37 HR, .900 OPS) in Atlanta.

Word is, Marcell Ozuna very unlikely to take the $17.8M qualifying offer. Middle of order hitter believed to have nice market. Had been seen as one of only maybe 3-4 players of the 10 to receive the offer with even remote chance to accept the QO.
