Open to moving a SP for a SS. Probably not Kirby, but possibly I guess.
-
Soroka's career trajectory is so sad
-
connorp, stopping forcing me to delete posts. If someone posted about radical right Florida we'd have like 3 reports within minutes.
-
Cole and Snell win the CY
-
Aside from Soto, even the trade market is dominated by SPs: Glasnow, Burnes, Cease, Bieber
-
Yeah, that's the one. Crazy to even send him home on that if he's that physically compromised
-
I posted a tweet a few months ago that had a clip of Stanton running the bases and trying to score. He runs worse than 40+ year old Pujols. His legs are completely shot and its sad.
-
The team should really be playing in the SP market if they have 25-30M in payroll space burning a hole in their pocket. I hope they don't get tunnel vision with the bats. Gausman Yamamoto/Nola/Glasnow/Gray Berrios Bassitt Kikuchi ----- Manoah Tiedemann There's nothing wrong with just stacking the rotation and getting the best stopgaps available with the lineup, and it will probably result in a better team than if they focus on Chapman or Bellinger simply because they're all that's available on the market.
-
I don't really known why the Ms are trading Suarez, but flipping them a couple of assets for the last two years of his deal are how you acquire a stopgap 2-3 win 3B. Not a 150M contract for a guy who's bat is hanging by a thread.
-
The contract Chapman ends up signing is going to look pretty ugly when the defense slips and he's a below-average bat, and that could reasonably happen as soon as next year. If an impact bat won't take their money, spend it on an impact arm.
-
You guys need to fluff up your maple boners a bit. There's room on the team for someone like Votto to play 1B a couple times a week and maybe be the strong side of a DH platoon. If he struggles, DH bats are basically free at the deadline.
-
lol, it really is
-
This seems like a bad idea
-
Bring Votto home. I don't even care if it makes sense roster wise. Pujols' 2022 victory lap is like a top-10 baseball memory for me and I'm not even a Cards fan. I'll take a minute chance of Votto coming home and hitting nukes into October as Jays wrap up an ALE title.

I think a lot of people are glossing over this. 2021 - 3rd in runs and 2nd in wRC+ 2022 - 4th in runs and 1st in wRC+ 2023 - 14th in runs and 7th in wRC+ I don't believe that the org developed a fatal philosophical flaw last offseason. I think three mostly unrelated things happened: 1) As you said, they priortized defense instead of offense. 1000 PA to Keiermaier and Merrifield. Another 600 to Varsho. 2) They got unlucky and underperformed their wRC+ when it came to converting hits into runs. This probably isn't sticky. 3) A few players underperformed expectations. I still think this is mostly just a Vlad thing. The 2023 offense simply isn't that good if Vlad isn't elite. If Vlad is elite, fans aren't really batting an eye at Springer declining at 34, or the fat catcher not producing, or Varsho getting less lucky on contact than he did in previous years.

Steamer has him projected for a robust 2.4 fWAR.
-
Braves exercise Morton's 20M option. I remember an article about him like 6 years ago with him saying he'd probably retire early. He's going to pitch at 40 next year.
-
Manaea opted out of his 12.5M option. Seems to think his big second half will get him more than that. I wouldn't want him at like 15M.
-
Feels like most of the time a team pays big money for a star manager it ends in spectacular failure: Maddon in LA, Showalter in NY, Girardi with PHI
-
This seems completely outrageous. Not sure what he was expected to do with that team.
-
I thought they'd pick it up. You'd think they could have found a trade for him at 2/32 if they couldn't afford it themselves. Lugo also declined his 7.5M player option, as did Nick Martinez. Their 2024 rotation rotation right now is just Darvish and Musgrove. They'll need to find 3 arms with very little payroll space to do it, though they might find one in a Soto trade.
-
The expanded roster was so f***ing stupid. 5-man benches with the universal DH is dumb.
-
Pretty busy day today: - Tigers acquire Canha - Neris, Stroman and Eduardo Rodriguez opt out - Votto and Tim Anderson have their options decline Stroman and E-Rod probably both get paid given the paper thin FA market
-
Does the World Series have a credibility problem?
BTS replied to Marew's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I mostly stopped watching because MLB decided that including the playoffs with MLB.tv isn't a good idea, while at the same time complaining that viewership is down. I'll never not be bitter about being a consumer willing to dish out $300 a year for all baseball games and then just not having the option to do that.
