https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/cardinals-still-interested-in-rotation-addition.html Cardinals for now seem more determined to put together their semi-competitive rotation...

What happened to the steady drumbeat of Murakami hype? Only 4 days away and counting.

https://www.draysbay.com/2023/3/9/23633373/2023-draysbay-community-prospect-list-no-30 Peters was the 29th rated Rays' prospect three years ago lol. Meadiocre #1. Just ahead of Chandler Simpson and old friend utility guy Tristan Gray.

I don't know why you keep going to this well, but most of the gigantic buildings of downtown Manhattan, a large portion of downtown San Francisco, as well as most of the buildings past Michigan Avenue in Chicago are built on fill. There is enough bedrock below which is accessible enough to build foundations for thousand foot tall buildings on, let alone a ballpark. None of what you posted is a dealbreaker, and is dealt with on sites all over the nation for much more complex buildings.

Tyler Glasnow next? Anyone Rays-adjacent?

A rebuild of one thousand games begins with a trade...

SD needs 2-3 starters. Maybe more, if they actually trade Pivetta to fill a hole somewhere else. Even trading Pivetta OR MMiller and Laureano to the Mets gets them a young starter, but definitely not McLean....Sproat or Teng and young hitting prospect/s. Preller has likely reached the end of his creativity rope this time around.

He's already in his mid 30's though...the number of guys who just suddenly take off at the big league level at that point can be counted on one hand.

Justin Turner replacement for the bench. 1-year at $1.25 million guaranteed.

The majority of their big contracts now have deferred money...it's at least creative. It's also the smartest way to operate (especially for teams with current cash crunches like the Twins, Marlins or Cincy) until it's disallowed or the numbers on current year payroll are much more punitive than $46 million vs. $70 million for each Ohtani contract year.

Sure, just like Theo Epstein until he got bored with the job and needed something bigger in scope. I guess?

He’s the leader this team has been missing. #LongLiveDrake

Warren will take a lot of heat, and rightfully so, but he’s not doing this without George’s blessing. The same George who held a meeting with rookies before the last Packers game to explain to them how important the Bears-Packers rivalry is. Lol.

He had a 112 wrc+ in 2024 in a tough home park. I don’t k ow what the hell happend last year, though.

Rodriquez influence already ?

This kid makes me laugh every single time.

If it is cash, we didn't.

It’s not going to be much for this guy either way.

We have the second priority in waiver claims so hopefully we didn't give up much more than a bag of balls.

And it will continue. Not expecting a 90% approval rating. He done good and questionably things. Even though Ive been at the forefront of the give him a chance he's trying to change something thats been bad a very long time brigade, theres still no money left for the roster. It seems like with JR he's given up trying to compete which he's already admitted about the current location of the team without a support village of moneymaking attractions around it. So more money than usual is going into infrastructure. That's the complete opposite of how JR used to operate where the 26 man roster was the focus based on the money mostly from attendance and TV advertising, merchandising etc. JR crys poor when he can't treat both with equal attention. Its only infrastructure now because it takes less money to support then a roster that requires more than half a billion dollars to compete. Ohtani was $700M alone and the Dodgers have to pay many many other players over the length of that 10 year contract with $68M deferred annually .
