MLBExecburner said we were in on Montas but not at that price. I wonder if this means they will still add another arm (Manaea?)

While I can think of an AL East club that lacks guts, the NYY doesn't lack guts esp with heat on Cashman , neither does BOS when their fans are up in arms and fed up, neither does LAD (I don't think they're done), Preller in SD has never lacked guts, SFG would love to make a big splash for their fans. I think there's a sufficient critical mass of clubs that are willing to deal.

Posting a self serving tweet doesn't make it true. A for effort tho

There's zero chance they will trade both Mayo and Cowser for Cease and Santos. Zero

Yeah I read somewhere one of the two big Boras pitchers was close to a deal...Snell to LAA would be great for Cease.

Thank God we won't be trading with ATL.

Yep it's time for them to sack up if they wanna get out of the kiddie pool. Things are moving pretty fast now.

Nah. Elias thinks everything occurs in a vacuum and he doesn't believe in market forces. Dude would happily cut off his nose to spite his face.....because "principle"

Good. Also thank God we aren't going to settle for ATL in the trade. I've hated that option the most forever. I dont know if Montas to CIN takes them out of the Cease bidding.

Actually isn't Breslow like a literal genius in terms of IQ? As much as I'd love to rob them blind of Anthony and/or Teel, I highly doubt they will go for it.

It's cool bro....im glad you and @Sports Guy are here.

Is this is an actual quote from today, Lip Man? If so, not only is Grifol a clueless corporate suckup sycophant, but the comment on pitching and how he likes the lineup is pretty much the nail in the coffin of getting any savages in trades.

Other than running his mouth about getting 3000 hits or whatever, what character issues did Madrigal have here? *puts an ear muff over @poppysox ears so he won't have to hear how his hero is even more of a joke than we thought*

Harold mentioned NYY is big time involved in this thread and late last night in the OF thread Jimmy cryptically threw Roman Anthony out there and mentioned Breslow didn't draft him.

If NYY and BOS are in the game, an Ortiz, Beavers, Povich and some lotto ticket offer is a TRASH offer. Jimmy has implied Roman Anthony from BOS is now in play and Harold confirmed NYY is heavily involved. In that case, you'd need to make a real legit offer to compete not table scraps bullshit. Elias is free to f*** around and find out tho if he is going to keep playing games, sitting at the fisherman's wharf nibbling on crab cakes and holding his dick in his hand trying to wait us out. f*** around and find out. If you want to trade for Bieber instead that's fine that's on you.

Such as? Even the lower end of the FA market is starting to thin out and it seems Burnes isn't gonna be moved. Valdez will also require a sizeable haul.

Sports Guy is NERVOUS!

Jones and some pitchers? Between this report and Jimmy late last night randomly name dropping Roman Anthony and the fact that Breslow didn't draft him....seems like damn near the whole AL East is involved now. Elias can either get serious...or f*** around and find out. We FUCKIN

Irrefutable.

Go on...

Anthony is even more of a savage than either BAL player for sure. That would be so awesome

If Anthony isn't part of it and they won't move Bello either, it may be tough to do a deal. It will take more than Rafaela + Teel.

Anthony & Rafaela for Cease?

We'd be in alot better shape with Cherington than this s%*# show.

To quote Ron.... "Getz be praised!"
