No. They opened against the Padres, and have already played the Cards, Brewers, Brave and Reds.

As of this moment, Davis Martin is game 1 Starter. You trade him when you have 5 better starters.

Does anybody speak another language? I think that as you get older, you lose the ability to form the sounds that make up a non-native language.

Dude was on the Dodgers. Poor Guy.

Well, our 2005 World Series Champions had their 20th win on May 4th.

Another 1-run win. Just sayin'.

Suburban housewife needed a nickel bag.

What in the Sam Hill?!?!?!?

And as happens so many times, the guy who makes the last putout leads off teh next inning.

I just wanted to post that song.

I've been told that Grant Taylor should be pitching here by the big brains

Dude just turned in a 2-4 with a double 2 games ago.

Something about the betting line.

Who doesn't get their uniform dirty? Yoan would lay in the dirt when he got a ball 2" inside, and he'd bail, waiting for the trainers to run out. That gets your uniform dirty, too.

Peter Triss!! Beth, I hear ya callin!!

Okay, are the two guys in the Lite Beer commercial who wind up at the Bowie Tribute band concert - are they a date? or friends? These are weird. I always have a problem with the dude bringing already poured pints of beer to the girls, as he could have roofied them. The cadence of Christopher Walken's lines doesn't really work in the 2 guys version. Maybe I just think too much about this stuff.

DROTH!!

Surely, you jest.

Circus Vargas!!

Sure, I'm probably getting off on a tangent. No, nothing short of Chris Sale, Garret Crochet - somebody like that - would bring back "elite" prospects. A Davis Martin trade would mean cancelling a couple of family vacations for scouts, coaches and stats guys to dig down and find some unpolished gems in the other team's system. Fedde was a 4-WAR pitcher, and most teams were like, "uh, you know? We're fine with our own farm dudes."

I really don't know what Getz was attempting, coming into the 2024 season, and I don't know what he was looking at. I'd guess he was banking on Yoan, Eloy and Robert maintaining a bit of value, maybe stay respectably bad for a couple of months, then trade them and fall off the table end of July. Nothing worked, everything broke, so every move looked like a premeditated disaster. On top of that, new GM, maybe the offers he was getting was the more established GMs trying to take advantage, so he just held his cards. He did 2 trades with AA in Atlanta, one with Seattle, and one with Barfield's old team.

Schultz is already in the bigs. Would you trade Mathias LaCombe, or maybe Yoikher Fajardo? How about a mixed up looking Christian Oppor? I have no dog in the fight, but I think every trade period is different. A couple teams hold onto the guys everybody was banking on being available, so then the next tier becomes a bit more valuable. That being said, I really think they should hold onto Martin. Even with as much pitching we have in the pipeline, a bird in the hand....

I'll learn to look at the account before copying. One day.

It was either obvious, or it wasn't obvious. If it was obvious, I doubt that 4 posters on a comment board were prescient enough to know that Robert would be chronically injured at regular intervals, but the rest of baseball could be tricked into trading all of their best prospects for him if the Sox GM was as smart as those 4 posters.
