If there weren't mega offers then it makes sense.

Bye, Mom.

That's fine. I'd rather they wait till the offseason if people are balking at giving a haul PLUS a financial commitment to Crochet. Chicago needs to get back multiple good bats in this deal.

The issue isn't what fans think, the issue is what future employers think since JR is almost 90 and the odds are Getz won't be able to cash checks from this organization for much longer either way and it's not like he's made a ton of money in his career either. He has to continue to work in baseball and dude can't be seen as a total clown.

Either way dude needs to nail it today.

SD needs to pull Merrill off the major league squad to make a deal. Snelling and De Vries is lame.

De Paula PLUS Freeland PLUS Ferris PLUS Pages. Getz needs to make up for yesterday's s%*# show. Our payroll next year even with Beni is tiny.

No

Atlanta is garbage.

Actually the Braves makes no sense and the Dodgers don't either unless it's for De Paula, Freeland, Ferris and Pages.

People would have rather had that return for Fedde than what we got.

Miller and Crawford to get it done.

Ugh....

I would be on board with that Dodgers deal and probably also the Red Sox deal. Instead it will be Crochet and Beni to LAD for JAG Outman, 1B Rushing and a couple scrubs from the 10-20 range.

Jones is struggling thus year, Hampton has been on the shelf with a UCL sprain. Lulz

Not thrilled with Levine going out of his way to mention the Dodgers.

Yes Crochet will be worse because of addition of Beni's contract to suppress the return.

Yeah I want 2 of the Big 3. We'd be lucky to get 1 given how bad Getz is at negotiating. This is all for naught, they will take another weak package from LAD because of Beni.

The offer is prolly garbage because Elias is smelling blood in the water after the Fedde disaster. I bet Norby, Beavers for Crochet AND Banks. Dude is a shark circling his prey.

That would be horrible. A JAG and a 1B is an awful return and almost certainly means Beni is in the trade for salary relief (relief from fucking what? Our payroll is already extremely low next year) Need De Paula, Freeland, Ferris and Pages

If the reliever market is that seller friendly, they should be able to get some good pieces for Banks and Brebbia tomorrow.

We are all Aly now.

They really need to ace that trade after bombing on Fedde. Instead they'll get scrubs and Beni salary relief. Again

If u thought thus trade was bad....wait till Beni gets packaged with Crochet to water down the prospect return considerably.
