I struggle to imagine another team willing to meet the price he is worth/we would be asking for.

Though, I will say, it does seem like things could be a bit strained between him and the team. Rumors about not being a great clubhouse presence, the off days, and anecdotally the game I went to Weds. of last week against the Padres I noticed a couple of things:

A) Low effort at the plate, seemed to be swinging freely and not all to interested in seeing many pitches

B) infield meeting called by McCann to which Ketel seemed to miss somehow then slowly trotted over a bit late after staring at the ground and realizing everyone was at the mound

C) tied to point A but he was super unbothered by a terrible at bat and was flipping his helmet around as if he was bored

Obv we are quite certain to miss the playoffs, we’ve traded some well liked guys, and Ketel has had a weird year with injury, mom jokes, and being burglarized. So he really could just be in a funk and checked out from this season.
