That's a reasonable ask....and if they were all bats, it would have gone a long way to helping the barren wasteland of our position prospect depth. Alas, it will have to wait till the offseason when the player agent will no longer have leverage. Ofcourse, if the club is gonna insist on someone eating Beni's entire deal as part of the Crochet trade, then we'll be lucky to get a single Top 10 prospect back in a given team's system.

That video was pretty classless. Eloy was full of joy and seemed like a genuinely decent and nice fun loving guy. I dont blame him for being injury prone....some people just are. I do blame him for not getting himself into shape and not putting in the work necessary to get some loft into his swing. I wish him well in BAL and I wouldn't be shocked if they unlocked his raw power.

D. Mozeliak and the Cardinals wiped their dick right across Getz face right in plain view of both Getz girl and also Harold, so it was probably very humiliating for Getz to have that happen in front of his peeps and he probably hasnt been able to make eye contact with either of them since then, but the Banks trade was good. The Eloy trade doesn't really move the needle either way because the savings are unlikely to be reinvested into the team. They should have been able to move Brebbia for a useful asset. If you're looking for reasons it wasn't an F, at least they resisted the temptation to move Robert for pennies on the dollar and if you're looking for reasons it wasn't Chernobyl, at least no other team took the bait of packaging Crochet with Benintendi. That would have been a disaster of biblical proportions. In the final analysis: f*** this team. As Walter Cronkite used to say, "and that's the way it was on Tuesday, July 30th, 2024."

Thank God a trade didn't occur.

How? If you lose the grievance then just the status quo remains (2 years control) right? Are there any financial penalties for a finding of bad faith?

I hear Charlotte has beautiful summers.

Pretty solid. That's a good trade

This.

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.
