Robert is heating up...give me Crawford now Dombrowski.

His ERA was like 1.5 but FIP was in the 3s, so there was bound to be regression.

I wonder if you put Houser, Tauchman and Wilson together whether we could get Caissie from the Cubs?

Maybe we could get a halfway decent return after all if he can keep it up a little more

He needs to have a really good 2 weeks, send him to PHI with a good reliever and maybe something else (and cash retained) and try to get Crawford.

Robert having a great game

If we could package various players together to get Justin Crawford somehow that would be great. Dunno what PHI needs tho.

If there really are 8 suitors, we might get something useful for him, especially I'd we eat some money. Perhaps we would turn our focus to CF prospects with Carlson now in the fold at SS.

Did Jacob Parker get picked? I thought the Sox were interested in him too not just his brother

From Getz comments in that Merkin piece, sounds like another bat at 4 and then pitcher at 5.

Yeah they have to underslot the 3rd pick to pay for him

Dammit

Could we float Summerhill to our second rounder?

Good pick Getz Got the true SS he has wanted.

Could Houser plus Wilson get us a 50 FV prospect?

I wonder if we packaged him with a good reliever like Booser or Wilson (really anyone in the BP except for Taylor) plus Tauchman, whether we could get Owen Caissie (sp) from the Cubs.

He will probably be in Birmingham for at least a couple months to start next season but I think he still has a decent shot to be in Chicago in late, 2026 if he keeps developing.

@caulfield12 was hyperventilating because Braden had a rough couple days at the plate and his OPS had dipped under. 800. Prospects....even very good ones will go through little ruts here and there, it's not a big deal. I still expect Braden to reach AA later this year. Glad he hit a HR...keep it going!

I wonder if the Reds would still offer Arroyo for Robert straight up if we ate some salary considering Arroyo is also having a down year at least at the plate coming back from his injury. I know he is highly regarded defensively so I'm assuming he's still doing well at SS in the field. And he's still just a 21 year old at AA who is still getting OBP decently even if there is no power. Maybe both teams would be buying low on each player and we'd give the Reds some money too. Colson looks solid at SS so far in a small sample size but most analysts think he will still end up at 3B ultimately and we know Getz loves premium defenders in up the middle positions. I'm not sure we would get that much for Robert even if we threw in some cash but who knows.

Yeah ultimately it depends on the amount of compensation.

Colson has been awesome in this series

Unless we get a solid offer, I'd keep him as a very nice bridge to Braden.

Nice throw Colson!

It will prolly take at least 10 runs to win this game at this rate.

I didn't see the game last night just saw box score, how did Colson look in the field and at the plate?
