Most of the issues coming to the fore in the recent one month is all due to low maintenance of the aircraft. “It is the responsibility of the DGCA to ensure that airlines operate in a safe environment, but if the system put in place by the regulator is not able to see through the problems, then it is a major cause of concern. Indian aviation safety observers claim that the poor maintenance of aircraft in India and an oversight of the strict procedures laid down for aircraft maintenance and reporting by the civil aviation watchdog, the DGCA, is leading to the increasing number of such incidents in the Indian skies.
The Guardians should stay out of the Soto sweepstakes.NEW DELHI: The Indian aviation sector is witnessing turbulent times with several reports of technical snags and mid-air emergency being declared by aircraft pilots, forcing them to make emergency landing, and raising questions about the quality of maintenance of aircraft and the role of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) that is responsible for ensuring safe skies in India. That would be pricey for the money-conscious Guardians and likely prohibit them from adding more talent next season.īieber, Josh Naylor, Amed Rosario, Aaron Civale, Zach Plesac and Cal Quantrill are all arbitration eligible in 2023.

The Guardians might be able to swallow that additional cost, but he is arbitration eligible in 20 before he hits free agency in 2025 - the same year Shane Bieber hits free agency, coincidentally.Īt the rate he is playing, Soto might command $25 million in arbitration in 2023 and north of $30 million in 2024. The team that acquires him via trade would owe the balance of his contract this season. Here is another factor: Soto is making $17.1 million this year. That would be a very steep price.Īdding Soto would make the Guardians better than the Twins, but would one more very good player make them good enough to beat the Yankees or the Astros, or even the Blue Jays in the playoffs? Would he make them better than the Mets or Dodgers in the National League? Probably not.

Former Indians prospect Bradley Zimmer is the poster boy for failing.Īntonetti might have to give up three prospects plus starting pitcher Triston McKenzie to land Soto. Not all prospects prosper when they make it to The Show. They are seeking prospects or prospects plus young players currently on the big-league club and currently under team control. The Nationals (31-63) have the worst record in the major leagues.
Infielder Tyler Freeman (86th) and left-handed pitcher Logan Allen (99th) are playing with the Clippers. Infielder Brayan Rocchio (85th) is playing for the RubberDucks. Arias has played briefly with the Guardians this season. Shortstop Gabriel Arias (80th) is at Triple-A Columbus. Right-handed pitcher Daniel Espino (ranked 11th by MLB.com), outfielder George Valera (32nd) and RHP Gavin Williams (78th) are currently playing at Double-A Akron. 100, but he was called up when Oscar Gonzalez suffered an injury. Seven Guardians farmhands are listed among the top 100 prospects by MLB.com. He could bat fourth behind Jose Ramirez, but at what cost to what team president Chris Antonetti is trying to build? Undeniably, Soto would make the Guardians instantly better. Notably, he leads the major leagues with 79 walks.
Soto is having a very good season, but not a great one. That rejection instantly started trade rumors, and then he boosted his stock by winning the Home Run Derby on July 18 during the All-Star festivities at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Soto recently turned down a 15-year, $440 million contract offer from the Nationals. Should the Guardians get into a bidding war for Nationals slugging 23-year-old right fielder Juan Soto? I say no. 2 deadline is now less than 10 days away. Every time they beat the White Sox (46-47), they widen their lead on the only threat to overtake them in the division. At 47-44 entering July 23, they are 2.5 games out of the last wild-card spot and just 1.5 games behind the first-place Twins in the Central Division. Again, it is worth noting the Guardians have the fortune to play in the mediocre A.L.
