They need pitching now.

Yep.

Boom!

Fucking bullshit

Dammit

Call up Teel's agent and get a deal done, Rick.

Sox could get Teel now possibly

Guys I wanted go 8 and 9.....ugh.

I wanted Mitchell...dammit

Ugh....weak.

I prefer Mitchell if we go HS.

Dollander, Taylor or Mitchell please.

Thank you, Jimmy. The vibe I get from that is: 1. If Dollander falls we will take him. 2. Taylor is the college bat if you go strength of the draft approach and he is there. Also checks various boxes, ie LH savage, could play 3B or even 2B. 3. Mike Shirley prep love go for the jackpot pick like Montgomery/Schultz is Blake Mitchell. And I've read we have scouted him heavily too. If you could secure a legit LH bat that definitely can stick behind the plate at catcher which it seems he can with his arm, that would be huge. Yes, there is risk for prep catchers but it seems to be reduced with him. 4. Underslot save money to spend in other rounds (ie Wolters in 2nd) pick....Yohandy Morales.

Move the savage to Birmingham

I want Rushing as the main piece from LAD. I wouldn't trade with TB because anyone they agree to part with will turn to s%*#, although to be fair we have a Ph.D in fucking up a young players development on our own, even without Tampa trying to sabotage us.

Why wouldn't they trade Giolito? They can't afford him and even if they could only a moron would re-sign here and he isn't a moron.

The disgruntled player remaining in the clubhouse doesn't really hurt the team that much because the team is already trash so who cares? I'd rather see if he can have a strong second half so we can get something in the offseason. We have so few tradeable assets we can't afford to sell superlow on anyone.

Problem is you can't sell when he has no value. He has to fight thru this rut in order to establish value for a trade. Not selling for 10 cents on the dollar. 70 cents maybe...10 no.

Sell high now if there's a buyer with a solid offer. I don't want a bad start later to ruin it.

If we could get Teel that would be great. Need an impact C.

Good. Get all the value you can get. Move them all. Then hope TA has a good second half so you can get something valuable for him in the offseason.

I'm going to be pissed if he's just a league avg 3B. Corey Seager is his FLOOR. Nothing other than savagery will be accepted.

Montgomery the savage 2-2 with a double so far.

That's ok....we won't be competing next year anyway. Biggest issue is TA has little value. Before the season, we could have gotten Rushing plus a solid SP prospect for TA plus maybe one other piece (value wise). Now TA has no value, Hendriks can't be moved cause he is out and not back to being a closer anyway and Giolito alone for half a season won't be anywhere near enough for just Rushing alone.

Get Rushing from the Dodgers. Left handed catcher with real pop and will likely stick at the position.
