We need a CF or left handed power for our park. Vientos provides neither.

We need CF prospects that have a reasonable chance to stick there, are very close to MLB ready that also have some value at the plate and are gettable for Robert. Fortunately, the Mets have one to trade but we're dicking around with Andrew Vaughn types again.

4 years of a RH DH/1B is garbage. A RH DH/1B even one with some power is a low value commodity and can be easily bought on the market cheaply. We already got one last year with Vargas. Wasn't Getz criticism of the prior FO that they acquired too many corner bat only types with no defensive or athletic floor? Hypocrite. A right handed bat only player that is struggling to even hit is more or less tantamount to a disabled person. NO

Sullivan looks very interesting. I wouldn't be shocked if they keep Tauchman as a cheap and productive strongside of the RF platoon next year since it may not be until late 2026 or early 2027 before Braden gets here.

To be fair....the gettable Padres position prospects are all garbage, which is all the more reason why it makes little sense that Mike Elias...I mean ....MLBExecBurner says we line up sneaky good with them. We actually match up awfully poorly with them.

I'd rather have Gilbert. And if the Mets are trading for Robert they would have no reason to hang onto him since he would be blocked. No to Vientos. Hell no

Hopefully the Mets refuse to part with Vientos now and we can dodge that bullet.

Beni! Its a shame it isn't tied

Great catch Colson!

This. Hopefully trade doesn't go thru.

And that's fine..... but if you are going to get a flawed 1 tool power bat from NYM instead of someone who can probably play CF and be semi competent at the plate like Gilbert...then at least get a LH power bat. Once again we're basically all RH except for CM and KT. I dont see Quero as a true switch hitter. Get a third savage. I thought we learned the lesson that putting all our eggs in the basket of RH 1B is a bad idea from Vaughn. Apparently not. Cause if they can't totally mash, you've got nothing there at all. There's no floor. Stop being a dick, Getz.

Vargas is a butcher at 3B.

Just say no to RH 1B/DH as main pieces. Gilbert would be much better.

If they are getting Vientos there better be a good second piece too like Gilbert or Ewing.

If that's the case I hope we don't trade with the NYM. We already have a RH 1B in Vargas. And Getz is supposed to hate this profile...WTF. We need someone with LH power besides Colson. Forget about Vientos.

Braden 1-4 with a triple

Yeah that's how I see it too, cause yesterday Venable said he was available. IMO among realistic targets, NYM would be a better fit than PHI. Just get me Gilbert plus a 12-18 prospect like fathom said earlier.

1 WAR in only 17 games played...wow!

This. I'd rather have Gilbert as the headliner. He looks like he may stick in CF and is starting to heat up at the plate.

BTV has Alcanatara SV at about 11. Houser at 5. Shouldn't be hard to do if we can throw in something else that might be helpful like Tauchman as platoon corner (4m SV) or a reliever or something assuming they are willing to move the player. The prices for high end pitching will be enormous and it seems they need more than one pitcher.

Could we get Alcantara from the Cubs for Houser? He's obviously blocked in CF there.

Just throwing this out as a hypothetical, if NYM said you can have one of Benge or Jett for Taylor or if PHI offered Crawford for him...how many would agree to it?

Suarez price must have been insane

We fuckin
