Garcia, Webster and Kemp are likely on the roster bubble.
Russell will be non-tendered or traded.
Graveman, Quintana, and I am going out on a limb here, but I see them picking up Rizzo's option too.
I would not mind Phelps coming back but $5 million is to much and see it being declined but maybe back at a smaller deal.

I think Garcia may stay on with options left..

I like his defense at 2B and as a backup to Javy at SS, but that ship has most likely sailed.

Cishek is a FA, so 19 pitchers. I think Graveman's option is exercised. I think Phelps' option is not exercised. Maples and Webster will be traded. Russell non-tendered. Almora traded. A few of Rule 5 additions to the 40-man. 3 spots for pitchers (We may add Colin Rea, he has 2 minor league options left) 6 spots for fielders (Miguel Amaya will be added for Rule 5 protection)
Rule 5 candidates: P.J. Higgins (C) Tyson Miller (RHSP) Trent Giambrone (IF) Zack Short (SS) Jordan Minch (LHRP) Matt Swarmer (RHSP) Dakota Mekkes (RHRP) Jhonny Pereda (C) Vimael Machin (IF)

Russell isnt a sure thing to non tender. In fact, he's easily worth more than 5m and this team has a need for his services. Fight me. 😅

Has Mekkes stock really fallen that much? Pretty sure they will lose him and he's a good candidate to stick on a roster.

He was good in the first half but had a 9.87 ERA in the second half. I guess we will see if any of the guys unprotected will make a roster. I think that often the final choices for the 40 are pretty hard to choose if you have a lot of guys that show some promise.

Mekkes (if I remember correctly) couldn't get lefties out. Those bad numbers I wanna say came exclusively from lefties.
Just saw the Rays DFA'd Matt Duffy. That'd be a "when healthy" target to snag.
