Please no

Gotta give credit to Atkins, Click, Shapiro, Sheehan, Tinnish, Sanjay, Reesor, Padmore, Goldberg, Dedar, Carruthers, Estey and Maxime Wang

Keep selling that’s for sure Green IKF Bassitt Gausman All should be fully available

Nobody thinks Atkins has full control over roster construction

Without question this does nothing for either of their long term outlooks Like it’s a good trade but it wasn’t the Josh Donaldson trade

He is with Toronto but he’s not very good

Will Wagner is Billy’s son

Wow excellent return. Good job Ross

Kikuchi was a valuable trade chip, I’m not shocked that they got a back end top 100 ish guy for him I’m sure they were pretty set on getting an arm close to or in the majors to fill the void for this year and next and looks like they did

Bloss was taken 99th overall in the 2023 draft out of Georgetown after spending his first three years of collegiate ball at Lafayette College. He coasted through A-ball and was given a quick hook to Double-A after the first month of the 2024 season. Bloss throws from a high slot that, along with his plus extension, generates significant carry on his 93-96 mph four-seamer; the pitch has a 31% miss rate so far in 2024. He also has a deep secondary mix to back up the fastball. His 76-81 mph curveball is a very vertical breaker. He’ll adjust the amount of depth on it, sometimes throwing a deep “freeze” type, while at others, he’ll shorten it up for more drastic snap action. Bloss does something similar with his slider in that he’ll throw ones with hard, two-plane shape while others are shorter, more cutter-like offerings; both shapes regularly show average teeth while flashing a tick above. Bloss’ changeup has the furthest to go to be an average weapon for him, but he’s a small school arm who we think is benefitting from pro instruction and we believe it’ll get there. The best ones he’ll throw have late diving action and a hint of fade, though he’s still prone to frequently throwing ones that have very minimal action. Bloss is a fairly explosive, whippy-armed athlete with below-average body control and frame composition. We’re skeptical the improvements he’s made as a strike-thrower in 2024 will stick, but the way his fastball plays doesn’t make that a strictly necessary aspect of his profile. He’s trending up and tracking like a mid-rotation starter.

Not a big deal, most people are able to get the gist of it

What exactly is your point? That addressing weaknesses isnt worthwhile?

I’m not sure who or what you’re referencing but this is not plagiarism lol

He can’t because you ate all the crayons

You realize they have a team wRC+ of 95 this year, right?

It’s a joke not a dick f***ing relax Go take a swim at the beach… oh wait nvm

Seth Smith prototype

No. This is moving anybody who is a pending FA for anything you can get

Do you like the sub .200 BA or 140+ wRC+ in A+ as a 24 year old better

The return https://www.fangraphs.com/players/robert-schreck/sa3022602/stats?position=OF

Turner to SEA

Oh okay

Right I understand. But if they had won 100 games for 5 straight years I don’t think anybody would care what the IL looks like

The discrepancy in returns appears much larger than just injury discount to me than to you I suppose

Why would you fire management who has won 100+ games like 5 years in a row?
