I will reserve judgment on this trade assuming we will still get 2 impactful bats in addition to keeping Bo/Vlad... anything less then Atkins can go f*** off.
I look at him as our 7th inning guy with Green being our 8th inning guy. Still need a true closer and our bullpen's set. Try to get a lefty reclamation project and hope he sticks.
I think it'll go down like this
1. ?
2. Green
3. Rodriguez
4. Swanson
5. ? [Lefty]
6. Little
7. Burr
8. Pop
Get a starter, 2 big bats and we're actually a really good team again.
This team currently sucks too much for people to want to have fun with this. Kudos to you though, hopefully we'll check back in after some major moves lol.
Don't worry, I'll lead the way on this message board. With Atkins comments about Romano being healthy and now the Phillies signing him to the same deal will put this move under the microscope for good reason.
Yankees sucked ass the year before Soto got there. Their lineup is literally 2 players so I'm sure Soto feels he'll be able to help a team that just went to the NLCS.
Yup for sure. They probably made a better deal getting O'Neil + a comp pick knowing Santander is about to get overpaid by us once Soto signs elsewhere lol.
