I fully agree we need OBP and power, particularly savage power, but unfortunately Getz doesn't seem to value that and he's apparently content trying to win games 4-3 or 3-2 with pitching, defense and speed on the bases. I'm not really a fan of this philosophy particularly in our ballpark, but it is what it is. He might get a savage bat at some point in these trades, but I doubt he will get a bunch of them.

I agree....but Getz has a profile that he wants for better or worse and yeah STL is not a great fit. I'd rather have Beavers +, but I don't think it will be BAL.

Agreed. I expect if Fedde is moved to STL, Getz will want Victor Scott II and another piece. His vision is all about speed, defense and contact over power and I wouldn't be shocked at all if it's something like Scott (50) and like a 45. That would be Robert's replacement in center and would provide GG defense plus speed on the basepaths.

To be fair, he probably is sitting on a gold mine. He's not gonna trade prime guys, dude is militant about that.

At one point he was compared to Juan Soto......super disappointing

Seems like we will need to wait till the offseason to move him. Sigh...

Dammit

That would be much better than LAD. If you can get Miller and Crawford you got your CF and SS (Law says Miller should stick at SS.....unlike Montgomery).

Yeah we need a legit savage bat. I'd take De Paula, Ferris, and a couple other pieces....but LAD just doesn't match up that well. I'd strongly prefer someone else.

He's not a centerpiece anymore.....I agree

Why is that surprising to you? For this FO, a lack of power is a feature not a bug.

Very nice. Aly's reverse mojo works again.

Need to start seeing a bunch of 3-4 or 3-5 games. Show me contact. I know the power is there.

A USF Dons signing, nice....West Coast Conference in the house! /I'm a WCC alum....not USF tho

Isn't Basallo gonna end up at 1B?

Agreed. Crawford would eventually replace Robert in CF and we'd have a SS that could take over from Montgomery when he moves to 3rd eventually.

That's a horrific proposed trade. No.

Neither Boston nor NYY will have any effect on Elias.

Anthony's star has dimmed a little bit this year and Mayer's rebound year has been high BABIP fueled to an extent. I would still take either as a headliner, but there's a need for a 2nd piece and they won't agree to give you one of those guys plus Teel.

Sloan to SEA

Perhaps they were saving more money for Sloan at 68?

What did he say earlier?

Sorry....im just irritated right now.

Harold sucking off the FO for any decision they make again.

The "bats" they'll target in trades are prolly glove and speed limpdick position players which aren't bats at all.
