    I never really understood the Nimmala hype, but I also don't think Soriano is more than a 3/4 who frustrates people with how often his command isn't there. So meh I guess.

    That's wild. Where can you even bet on something like this?
  3. BTS
    lol, how?

    I guess we're hoping that Bateman is something like Jacob Young?

    BP writeup on Bateman from pre-season: 15. Brett Bateman, CF (Double-A Knoxville) A contact-driven offensive profile and a strong glove doesn’t make for the sexiest profile but Bateman continues to inch his way towards big-league at-bats. His outfield defense is the carrying tool. While he can be plugged into any spot in the grass, center field is where Bateman shines, showing a quick first step, excellent instincts, and an arm that is strong enough to keep runners from taking the extra base. Offensively, he’s a disciplined hitter who pairs above-average swing decisions with a high-contact approach, allowing him to get on base at a solid clip. Over-the-fence power is not part of his game but Bateman did get the ball in the air slightly more in 2025 and has the speed to rack up double should the trend continue. Odds are Bateman eventually settles into a Quad-A role down the line but there is a scenario where he meets his 90th percentile outcome and carves out a role as an everyday center fielder.

    You're right. He accepted one from the Giants before the 2021 season. That lessens the sting of this a bit

    This seems worse than just offering the QO.

    I think Atkins would get laughed off the phone. Tatis has been the better player this year, projects a bit better, makes 11M/year less, and his contract expires 5 years sooner than Vlad's. This is the most underwater contract in MLB, and possibly in professional sports.

    Urias just sealed Gausman's fate

    Peralta is a free agent after this season

    Imagine running baseball ops and not even having the freedom to trade a broken reliever without the owner stepping in and killing the deal.

    I don't think its just being "wimpy". I'm sure they've had a lot of internal discussion about making an addition like Skubal, but believe that the way for them to maximize their chances at a WS is to be a very, very good team every year vs. moving pieces that they think will help them compete for the next 5+ years to increase their chances at a 2026 title from 9 to 14% or whatever. I think this is defensible. You don't necessarily need a super-team to win. The Braves weren't in 2021. The Rangers weren't in 2023. The Jays weren't last year. You do need to make the playoffs though. I think there are also financial reasons that make sense as well. The Brewers are legitimately a small market team. The ideal model for them in the current format is to be competitive every year. This becomes a lot harder to accomplish if they're cashing blue chip pieces for rentals.

    It's a very good return for a rental. Dodgers maybe uniquely positioned to to make this kind of deal because a) they'll be extending Skubal after the season, b) they're positioned so well financially and talent-wise that they don't really need cheap early-career talent, c) they were already the heavy WS favourite before this trade (going from like 35-40% WS odds may be more valuable than going from 8-13?) and d) they're chasing something very very rare: a threepeat I understand why they'd move talent like this when teams like the Rays or Brewers wouldn't

    Guardians have given up on Bo Naylor

    Chris Sale now looks like a slam-dunk HoFer. Love the late-career rebound to get himself over the line

    Would have thought Early had more value than Mead

    Weird list. I feel like most players wouldn't mind playing a year in Milwaukee, or Seattle if if you're a pitcher.
  24. BTS
    I feel like as a front office you have to be confident that you can find 2-win CF cheaper than paying someone like Varsho 23M. A team like the Rays would find that lack of creativity straight up undignified.
  25. BTS
    It's completely asinine. I hope he's deeply embarrassed about what has happened this season.
