Yeah, I'm actually optimistically hoping for scenario A: Sign Edwin to what he's worth, to keep our offense decent next season, and importantly to keep him off a division rival as that's exactly where he's going if we don't get him. Then take advantage of Bautista's struggling, injury filled season and sign him much cheaper than he was originally commanding.
Not to get too AlpineOrical but as someone who wanted Edwin over Bautista I fear that scenario B is shaping up: Take Bautista as he'll be more cost effective, let Edwin walk....directly onto a division rival's roster.
Which would still be better than scenario C: Let them both walk. Which I could also see happen.
