  1. Anticlimactic!!!
  2. Tough to trade a guy back to a team like that would be with Reese.
  3. maybe in a universe where everything that is wrong is right
  4. I wouldn't trade Kirk for a teenage Mickey Mantle I wouldn't trade Kirk for ANYTHING

    You lay garbage on this forum every day, mate. Spanky is a licensed brick fluffer too.
  6. Toronto has some good prospect depth though. What about Gabriel Moreno? Delete Manoah and swap Moreno for Kirk and I'm pulling the trigger all day every day.
  7. On the Jays' part it was probably just tire kicking. They f***ed up the Chris Archer trade so bad, worth seeing if you could steal them of Austin Meadows again.

    what about a brick fluffer or garbage layer?
  9. Reynolds was over 3 WAR in 2019, projects to be above average, and is their best projected position player. I don't see much opportunity to pay a fair rate for him in that context. They can certainly have Robertson + Fisher or Teoscar + an actual prospect but I would not deal Kirk or Manoah. Kirk is untouchable. I wouldn't trade him for Mike Trout.
  10. Through random variation alone it's so easy to see the projected records of Toronto and Tampa Bay flipping. The season is so short that it's silly.
  11. You tried but it still doesn't make sense. Martin's basis for making #2 slot value demands largely evaporated when he slid to the 5th pick. To say that Toronto dicked Martin around by not giving into his demands is just some stubborn dumb f*** s***. Grow up metafour!!!!
  12. Your point about Martin made no sense - that was all I was saying. For all we know the Orioles or Marlins were prepared to give Torkelson $8M+ if Detroit let him slide. I generally agree though that Detroit does not have an impressive front office so it is possible that they just got out-negotiated by a superstar agent.
  13. Toronto picked Martin 5th and paid him the 2nd highest bonus in the draft, $800k over slot. Toronto dicked around Nick Frasso a bit to appease Martin. Your above bolded paragraph is just confused and does not make a clear point.
  14. Nobody is bent - your post was just incredibly dumb and amusing for that reason.
  15. It will all be sorted before the season starts. Trust
  16. No, but it was perhaps the best move to optimize their relationship with TORK!
  17. People do this s*** all the time, in every context, thanks to social media. "Braves fans" is a huge group of different people. I wonder how hard it would be to find actual, specific, Braves fans who loved Donaldson's attitude but hate Puig's.
  18. It was basically slot value. I don't think you can call that caving. Detroit probably decided it wasn't worth jerking their preferred player around for a few hundred thousand dollars in order to maybe sign someone slightly better later on.
  19. UFA? Are there RFAs in baseball or something?
  20. Everything I've read says Wall is not great anywhere. Just s***** instincts. It wouldn't be surprising if someone like Espinal is actually a better CF than him.
