    Aubrey Huff deleted his tweets about Nakken

    Surprised nobody has inquired on Schanuel. Open to pretty much anything - I just don't want to roster 3 1B only players net year.

    * most years most teams Achilles heel from the season shows up in the playoffs.

    connorp might have the world's strongest recency bias. Literally just "what have you done for me in the last week"

    Castellanos is Hunter Renfroe with worse defense, and Renfroe has been moved for nothing like 4 times in the last two years. Nobody is giving FA Castellanos 50M this offseason unless Kim Ng finds a job.

    The Phillies were able to bring in two borderline HoF players from outside the org on deals that have worked out better than even they could have hoped, in Wheeler and Realmuto. Two of the best acquisitions of the last decade, for any team. Jury still out on a bunch of the others, though Harper has earned his pay so far. Wheeler actually leads the majors in fWAR since his signing, and the contract expires after 2024, so not much can go wrong. Legit one of the best FA pitcher signings ever.

    Yeah. St. Louis too, basically for the last 20 years. If a good player comes through the system, they keep them. They'll also pay up for older impact talent, then just keep them until they retire.

    That's not even necessarily a criticism of AA. MLB isn't the stock market, and outside of the Rays, most well-run teams aren't relying on buying distressed assets and then trying to trade them at peak value. Teams with budgets pay for good players, and then just keep them or let them walk via FA.
  9. BTS
    You seem to have a hard time following the flow of conversations, but I was responding to a post defining AA’s MO here as buying low and selling high. That wasn’t his MO at all. He didn’t sell, and was very comfortable paying sticker price for good vets.
  10. BTS
    AA had a habit of trading for ageing injury-prone vets on FA contracts. He doesn't do it anymore, but it's what let to Toronto having a short contention window.

    His agent moved to Japan with him?

    The poll to convert 2 SP slots to P passed so I made the change

    Maybe it was a show of respect to a long-time valued employee that they think will help with retention. Maybe they actually think she has a skill set that would make her a good candidate for the job, and feedback from players that they'd like playing for her. Maybe they wanted to signal that they're an organization that is welcoming to skilled people, regardless of background or immutable characteristics Maybe they wanted the good publicity that they're getting. Maybe it was a psy-op to get Aubrey Huff to state publicly that he thinks women are too illogical to lead so they can continue not inviting him to team events. Probably it was multiple things. But more importantly: who cares? They don't have a set number of people they're allowed to interview. Setting two hours aside costs them virtually nothing.

    A tale as old as time

    connorp threw out stupid bait

    IIRC he was the same age she is now when he was made GM of the jays.

    A 10-year employee applied for a promotion, the team granted her an interview, and will likely hire someone older/more experienced. Why even try to parse through their various motivations, let alone get angry about it?
  18. BTS
    The old Anthopoulos soft demotion
  19. BTS
    Rehashing your feelings about a trans swimmer in a thread about baseball, on a forum about baseball.
  20. BTS
    Because calling trans people normal isn’t against forum rules.
  21. BTS
    Yeah, this reads like a salary thing. Probably declined her option to negotiate a better deal and the Marlins said no. If so, seems foolish to cut the head off your baseball ops department over a single executive's salary.
  22. BTS
    Her contract expired after 2023. They probably didn't want to pay her.
  23. BTS
    Wow
  24. BTS
    Stephen Vogt is apparently also interviewing. Not surprising at all to see him moving towards a management position.
  25. BTS
    lmao holy f***. Just an absolute clown.
