Since his kids are still pretty young, he might go the free agent route and see if he can get a multi-year deal. He's making 4 million now but I don't know my baseball players well enough to know if there's a team out there who would offer him more than that or a multi year deal. No clue on the other guys.

Probably wrong on Robertson. Pudge, I lean towards them bringing him back out of lack of options whether or not it's a good idea. Jones, I don't know. If they move Rodney/Zoomer to closer, they'll need to buy a setup man or find one in the organization. Not as easily done as said. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone. Casey, I agree, is not coming back. I’m about 99% sure you’re wrong on Inge. Probably wrong on Robertson.
