Quintana's only gone downhill since the trade. Regardless of what happens to Cease I think we will win that trade by a large margin as long as Eloy meets his projection. The Cubs definitely did not get the value they were looking for when they made that trade.

Bryce isn't happening. I don't think we can outbid the Phillies. I also don't think he wants to come here unless we beat the next highest offer by a substantial amount.

I swear if this happens I'm not even gonna watch a single game on TV this year.

Isn't CarGo one of KW's guys? He's available.

Yay I guess we'll just get 5 Adam LaRoche type signings then.

Manny's offensive numbers are going to dip in San Diego. Pretty much every player that goes there has had this happen to them. I would not be surprised to see him put up a .330 or .340 wOBA in 2019 with the Padres.

The team is based in the third largest city in the country. Not fucking Des Moines, Iowa. It's so goddamn frustrating.

Paying $60 million over 2 years to a guy who will be 35/36 is not fun. But that's what you gotta do now. You could also just front-load the contract so it doesn't become as big of a burden down the road. We tried to get cute and it backfired in our face. Now all we have to show for it is 2 1 win players we're paying $13 million for this year.

The only way this can get worse is if Alex Call turns out to be a good major leaguer.

I never want to wish badly on this franchise, but it needs a wake-up call. If that wake-up call is record-low attendance, then so be it.

Money we could have just given to Manny. Their commitments alone this year are almost half of Manny's AAV.

I can't believe we got fucked over by Preller twice in 3 years.

Unless the numbers on this deal are insane, this is an absolutely massive failure on the part of the FO.

lol if I were them, I'd try to get out. Jesus christ what a mess.

Talk about a punch to the gut.
