Phelps is an ARB4 guy - which means he's probably going to be sitting right next to Diaz and Vincent and Pagan when the season starts. Smyly is also still Arb eligible next year; my guess is the Ms give him a contract for 2018 and 2019 with an nice option for '20 if he's recovered in '19.

I really like the idea of Darvish and Ohtani. Let me throw another idea out there - if the Ms sign those two they're obviously throwing the chips all in. I know Dyson is probably the better choice, but what if they traded something not-too-shiny for Ichiro? The idea would be to let Ohtani pitch, then day off, then two days in the field, then day off, then pitch. The three days he's not in the field, you have Gamel-Haniger-Ichiro, the other two days you have Gamel-Haniger-Ohtani. Heredia can pick up some of the days, too, for all four, and maybe on the day when Ohtani pitches to give Ichiro more breaks. Ichiro back in area 51 (albeit part-time) in a year that the Ms are really competing? Priceless.
