Agreed 100%

How do we feel about the Keuchel deal after Ryu? I’m still good with it.

Why are people acting like EE is washed up and not good anymore? He would instantly be one of the top 4 bats in our lineup.

Give me EE and one of the top relievers and I’ll be very satisfied.

I they were able to sign Keuchel and maybe Encarnacion to a 1-year deal, how would people feel about this off-season honestly?

Can this guy play 2b? If so, could he be keeping the seat warm until Madrigal gets called up?

To me you sign a reliable guy like Keuchel who is durable and can eat a lot of innings. Then go a little more on the upside/risk side with your second guy with Wood. Then you have potentially 6-7 available starters at various points of the season which will help with injuries, innings limits, etc. 1. Gio 2. Keuchel 3. Cease 4. Wood 5. Lopez 6. Kopech 7. Rodon at some point?

Definitely not Nova, but would definitely rather have Keuchel or Ryu, especially since it only costs money. The only way I want price is with Benitendi attached and no prospects better than Collins going back.

Hell no.

Haven’t seen this mentioned but any chance it’s JDM instead of Benintendi?

Hasn’t Hahn had a love for Bradley Jr in the past? I have a bad feeling about this....

Anyone interested in Thames as a short-term DH? Haven't' seen his name thrown around here.

Is there any hope they still sign Castallenos and we rotate the DH between Castallenos/Mazara/Abreu/Eloy/McCann? Please say yes.

Ugh. Remember when everyone was mad about those Ozuna rumors?

Serious question. Is Mazara an upgrade over Leury?

Keuchel. I don't love it. I don't hate it.

If the Rockies are looking to rebuild, what kind of package would a Gray and Dahl combo command? I assume at least 2 of Vaughn, Madrigal, Dunning with some other high-upside flyers?

Gross. Hard pass on all 3.

Why are people so down on Kuechel? Isn’t he a groundball specialist? Which is something we need in our park.

Wood and Porcello for me.

Is there an actual rumor about Snell?

Agreed. Unless we can get one of the Rockies pitchers (Gray, Marquez) I’m not sure who that pitcher is. I doubt the Rays trade Snell. Not really interested in Ray or the Red Sox guys.

Why would the Rockies be trading Marquez?

Agreed. I don’t understand all the handwringing and b****ing. They went out and got a top target in Grandal that almost everyone in this board put as a top target. They were then the top bidder on the pitcher everyone wanted. It sucks they didn’t get him, but to assume it’s the “same old White Sox” and that it’s a complete failure of an offseason seems like an unjustified overreaction. If they sit on their hands and do nothing the rest of the way, then by all means, roast appropriately. But IMO they are clearly slowing they are being aggressive, which is not something we have seen in the past.

I guess I’m a little confused why everyone is firmly in the Ryu over MadBum camp. Is it a strictly the $? I know Bumgarner isn’t the same guy but he’s still a lot younger than Ryu, who can never stay healthy.
