  1. Watch, 2025 will feature a huge bounce back from the pen, an offense that's actually half decent, but the rotation will just crater the season into oblivion.
  2. The guy had a melt down yesterday and it spread to about 10 threads. He even made a new thread to continue his hissy fit.
  3. Yeah that would work too. The thought of Varsho, Kim and Giminez up the middle of the diamond is intriguing.
  4. Dude. The original idea in my post was about signing Kim. He's the one I put at SS, and he is also a high end defender.
  5. How much time is Kim supposed to miss? Sign Kim, trade Bo, sign Alonso.. When healthy: C - Kirk 1B - Alonso / Vlad 2B - Giminez 3B - Vlad / Clement SS Kim LF Santander CF Varsho RF Springer DH - Wagner Bench - Bethancourt or Heineman / Clement / Straw / Jiminez Trade a couple Buffalo boys for relief arms if possible. Scherzer would be nice to round out the SP as well.
  6. Yes please. We'd probably be lucky to get 100 IP out of him, but I have no doubt they'd be high quality innings, and there is still upside there if he does stay healthy, despite his age.
  7. This is why to me Vientos as part f the return for Vlad (if traded) makes a ton of sense. Plus add a 2-3 of their top 5-10 prospects. Then take some of the money that would have been earmarked for Vlad and go guns a blazing for Bregman. Maybe you even still try to snag Alonso too, even if you plan to play Vientos at 1B. Bregman/Alonso/Vientos/2-3 prospects instead of Vlad at $450 million. Then look to trade a couple of Schneider/Clement/Loperfido for relievers with some control.
  8. It was said that Yates had signed with the Dodgers, but on fangraphs he's still listed as unsigned. I'd love the Jays to get him if he's still available. My next pick would be Carols Estevez.
  9. Boss Atkins lmao 🤣
  10. I like to make sure I thumbs down all his posts because I know it'll drive the drama queen crazy
  11. This all feels like the Jays being used for leverage once again.
  12. Could be fun to sign Alonso on a discounted type of deal. Jays might be in the running for the most home runs if Bo bounces back. Maybe 3 guys hit 40+ dingers?
  13. Let's do Bregman with deferred money now. Biggest hole left now is 3B, Bregman would be a pretty large upgrade on Clement. Then maybe you look to trade Clement for a solid reliever?
  14. Hopefully Roden steps up at some point this season and forces his way into a OF position and pushes Santander into more of a DH role, assuming we don't sign an actual DH. As bad as Straw's contract is, it might be good to have him kicking around as a defensive replacement and base running option.
  15. Hopefully Santander becomes the DH for this team early next season and then remains the DH for the duration of the contract.
  16. And that's if he doesn't lose his launch angle again and spend half his remaining prime years grounding into easy double plays.
  17. Yet some around here claim the Mets wouldn't want to give up Vientos alone for Vlad lol It sucks, but lotto tickets like that is usually all you get in big deals like this. You just have to hope the FO knows what it's doing and can take those lottery tickets and make something out of one or two of them and also use the freed up salary room wisely too. Unfortunately the front office isn't inspiring much confidence these days.
  18. The f*** is the point of this any more, if the Dodgers just get to horde every f***ing good player they want? You knew it was coming but it still pisses a guy off. Ridiculous Two prime aged aces in two off seasons from Japan, plus Snell and they haven't even put Ohtani on the mound yet.
  19. I'm thinking he must have seen a bogus Passan account tweet, because Passans last tweet was a half hour ago and it was about Minter signing with the Mets
  20. All we need today to complete this saga from last off season is someone from his agency to hop on a private jet and start flying to Toronto complete with a grainy picture of sasaki in an airport terminal.
  21. It's amazing to me now that Vlad is one year from free agency more and more people are acting like he has been this amazing superstar the whole time and completely forget the three straight years of decline down to a 1.3 war player, the long stretches of terrible at bats and poor performance, and the bone headed costly mistakes. Giving this man $450 million + might just be one of the worst mistakes made in franchise history. It's not the clear cut decision for long term success that certain people are making it out to be.
  22. f*** sakes It was the godamn eyeballs at the end of the post that sucked me in coupled with Laika sounding excited immediately after
  23. Vientos ++ for a Vlad with an extension plz
