He could a lot to a team

Either the description above or the list is inaccurate.

Between players definitely staying on the 40 man, and players that would definitely be added to the 40 man. I come in at 30. When you factor in several bullpen members a centerfielder and a starting pitcher are likely to be added, it does approach 40 rather quickly. I would anticipate a couple of the moves you suggested. It makes sense to move a guy like Shawn Dunston Jr, Bruno, or Candelario. I’d love to get back a compensatory pick or pile them together for a major league piece as opposed to saving some international money, but that’s the fan in me. If saving that money now allows them to strike in free agency with a full piggy bank, then let’s do it. I don’t think it’s as simple as that, but it’ll be interesting to see if anything happens on that front.
