[USML Announce] Damon-ant

[Jeffrey Winick]

Allow me to be the first to congratulate Mr. Kerber on a dominant (Damon-ant) run to the title.  And kudos to Dean Klein for making a run despite the ultimate futility of the effort.

Of course, Monday marks the beginning of off-season trading and I'd like to be the first to let it be known that the Berliners are in it to win it in 2024.  With the following players to choose from, my only issues is going to be who to cut.  But that means there's opportunity for mutually beneficial trades, for example, one where someone takes Wander Franco off my hands and I reward them generously.  Here's a sneak peak at the Berliner keepers:

Josh Naylor                        10          Option Year        (17 HR, 97 RBI, 10 SB and a .306 BA)
Anthony Volpe                  20           Y2                          (21 HR and 24 SB)
Julio Rodriguez                 10           Option Year        ('nuff said)
Josh Jung                            10           Y2                          (23 HR, 70 RBI and 74 Runs in only 468 at bats)
Bobby Witt                        15           Option Year        ('nuff said)
Clay Holmes                       5             Option Year        (23 Saves for a bad baseball team...and no I'm not talking about the Berliners)

Brooks Lee                         5             Bean      BB America #24
Jackson Holiday                10           Bean      BB America #1
Marcelo Mayer                 5             Bean      BB America #15
Coby Mayo                        5             Bean      BB America #23
Max Clark                           5             Bean      BB America #20
Evan Carter                        10           Bean      BB America #10
Yoshinobu Yamamoto    5             Bean      Can you say Yankees!
