    Heyman is a hack too but he’s more credible than Morosi. That says more about Morosi than Heyman, but still. Morosi is one of the worst out there.
  2. glory
    It's understandable to get hooked on this rumor since the off season has been so boring, but yeah, Morosi is s***.

    Allen, Patino, and a 3rd piece would be fine with me. No thanks to Quantrill.

    Right now yes, but xposbrad wants to hold on to Stroman and trade him during the season, which is what I was responding to. Someone mentioned before and I agree completely with it; true contenders don’t view Stroman as a difference maker. It’s the teams like the Padres and Reds (bad teams looking to improve) that will offer more. These teams won’t be buyers in July. Now might be the time.

    If you think we are going to get a better package than Allen/Baez in today's marketplace for a year and two months of Stroman, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

    I call him Trollosi for a reason. He's a hack. When Rosenthal says something, then we're getting somewhere.

    Graveman to the Cubs and Fiers close to re-signing with A’s. Jays are either going to shock us with Yusei or have a straight up young rotation plus whatever reclamation projects they can find. The latter seems more likely.
  8. glory
    Domingo Santana to the M’s. I thought Atkins would be all that but Dipoto hadn't made a trade in over 24 hours so it was bound to happen.
  9. glory
    Trading two prospects for added 2019 wins doesn’t seem all that smart to me unless you think the reds can seriously contend.
  10. glory
    Does this mean no Stroman to the Reds? I really think Shatkins can get a nice return from them but now they might be out.

    Never doubt the Rays. They'll look like the winners of this deal a year from now.

    Andrew Miller signing with the Cards (or “closing in” as Twitter is saying).
  14. glory
    Pomeranz actually seems like a realistic sign. Was terrible last year so would take a one year deal, had success in the East, and for all the mouth breathers on social media he was drafted by Cleveland when Shapiro was GM (I think) so we’d get the added benefit of casuals hating it for that reason alone. Have to be sure that his velocity can get back to normal though, or he’s likely s*** going forward.
  15. glory
    He was an Ed Rogers hire I believe so chances are Rogers will keep him around (whether he wants to stay after his contract is another story), but I can definitely see Rogers pushing the timeline up. Last year was an attendance nightmare, and 2019 probably will be as well. I could see ownership panicking and telling him to build a winner in 2020, or something equally aggressive.
  16. glory
    Yeah as much as this should have started a year ago, it was probably out of Shapiro's hands. Where we are now all things considered is very good. A little bit more luck with JD not getting hurt and Osuna not being a dick, and the trade returns would have been closer to fair than they were (still think we did well in the Osuna trade considering the circumstances.....JD trade was obviously a mess forced by injury).

    Espinal getting some love. Never doubt the Fringe Five. https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/stats-say-these-prospects-will-improve-in-2019/c-301972294

    Glad to see FA's getting paid. It's not just the top ones either. Bryce and Machado will get their money but the mid tier ones are getting paid too. Keep it going.
  19. glory
    I think teams nowadays are smart enough to see past Stroman’s ERA. Having him for two years is a lot more desirable than a year and two months or just a year. If they are going to move him then now might be the time. Sanchez is ass as a starter so there may not be a good time to trade him. Might have to pick the right time to approach AA and see if the sight of Sanchez still gives him that funny feeling. Beyond that, keep him and hope he improves. Can’t do anything else really.
  20. glory
    I would imagine the trade offers for those players are trash, but I agree, the half ass measures have to stop so I’ll be pretty disappointed if those three are still on the team opening day. Vlad’s service time starts in 2019. Time to get serious.
  21. glory
    I would have said Santos too but Zaidi isn’t going to make a bad deal.
  22. glory
    Yeah that's the other thing. You can't have too many prospects on the 40 man because you need to fill a 25 man roster. So adding Bergen and Romano, and then having to remove them because you signed a few FA's, or because you had to replace the talent that were taken off to add Bergen/Romano in the first place just creates more problems. What Shatkins needs to do is more Cashman type of trades. Take some excess fringe 40 man roster types and trade them for something. International space, equally fringey talent who don't need protection, etc. Makes life a bit easier.
  23. glory
    Yeah not sure why people are so upset at not protecting Romano and Bergen. This front office hoards prospects like crazy. You think they would have let two go if they felt they were worth keeping around? They just took a 18 year old in the Rule 5 with the intention of keeping him on the 25 man roster all year just so they could try to develop him the following year if all goes well. They were in a pennant race and still found a way to add McGuire and Ramirez at the trade deadline just to add depth to the system. Look maybe they end up being wrong about Romano and Bergen, anything can happen, but to suggest it was bad asset management is a very dubious claim. They probably just don't see much in those guys, or didn't mind taking the risk of losing them versus some of the players they ended up protecting. At the end of the day it's two relievers. Not going to hurt the rebuild.
  24. glory
    If we carry a 19 year old who hasn’t pitched in full season ball yet then Shatkins is definitely tanking 2019. Makes the Stroman and Sanchez talk more logical. There will be zero f***s given for win/loss in ‘19. Can’t say I mind that strategy, but starting it last year would have been better.
  25. glory
    Rockies front office is not good. I don’t expect much of anything for Smoak but with the Rox you never know.
