Absolutely
Although, you know people will still complain if he lands with the Dodgers.
It's a weird one. A month ago I didn't even expect Toronto to be a contender for him, now they appear to be a finalist. Perhaps they are being used by Ohtani to drive up the Dodgers contract, but so be it if that's the case.
Unfortunately I had to ban Nope for his own mental health
Since a bona fide member of the freedom convoy, Carlos Danger, agreed with the original permaban, I feel justified
Oh no, people are trying to buy the Orioles from the Angelos family
That's not good news. Dumb ownership was perhaps our only line of defense against the current waves of amazing Orioles prospects.
absolutely they COULD
offer those guys a starting job, anywhere on the diamond, and they will sign in a minute.
the question is whether or not Toronto SHOULD because they might suck
I have both of them in the Plan Q, end of the offseason bucket
I am kind of shocked that the Reds went for Candelario.
They have so many infielders already. He is going to be a 1B/DH for them. And he had leverage as the #2 third baseman on the market.
Now everybody knows they like, HAVE to trade India.
Yeah when I saw the Kimbrel-Os news I was pretty happy. $13M is a lot for them and they are using it on a guy who is volatile and liable to s*** the bed.
I guess the plan for 2024 is force Judge to play CF so he gets hurt as soon as possible?
I could still see Verdugo as part of the Soto trade, though. He has little value but helps SDP.
Soto + Grisham for Verdugo + King + Thorpe ++
Yanks got pillaged in the R5 draft, losing 3 upper minors RP prospects. They all showed up on deep top prospect lists; Matt Sauer was 25 on MLB.com's NYY top 30 and Caron Coleman was on the Fangraphs NYY prospect list in March.
They are trying to win now still and Michael King might be an SP2 or SP3.
Might be exactly what they want. They could trade Soto and still make the playoffs, conceivably.
It's not necessarily a rebuild style trade where they just want the 3 best prospects
Until last week nobody thought Toronto even had a puncher's chance at Ohtani
And a Soto trade was almost a long shot given the pure number of teams who would bid
Not much else that moves the needle, man
Kendry Rojas, Connor Cooke, Barriera, Chad Dallas, Zulueta, Macko, Juenger, Dahian Santos, Landen Maroudis, Juaron Watts-Brown.
I doubt they care about players like this unless they are the 4th piece.
