I guess maybe those of us that had them in the high 70s win total don't look like total morons now?🤔

And now Robert has been taken out of the starting lineup. So yes, the trade return hasn't worked out...but neither has La Pantera on a team with TONS of protection.

This team can hit and that will only get better once braden and sam come up. Really need noah and hagen to be something though, otherwise it's going to be a lot of 7+ run game losses.

I thought the pitching was suspect...but this is pathetic

he was annointed a superstar kind of in the way that Gordon B was by Jeter. Waaaaay too early without a sample size that was realistic.

the division is in shambles. Minnesota and Cleveland are going to be BAD, Detroit needs their prospects to come up and be successful and I just don't think KC has enough either. I think 78 wins is possible IF they stay healthy and the prospects keep on their trajectory. I know that is optimistic, but that 2nd half was a vast improvement and Venable seems to have a grasp on what they should be motivation wise. So this totally means they win 63 games, because I always overpredict

He can DH first to expedite return and take time to ensure he is healed before he catches, right

this is 4D chess. he is putting that out there so the opposing teams scouts need to prep for him hitting both ways. Absolute genius tactics here... Just kidding. What a fucking Putz.

it really depends on if he just focuses on launch angle and 3 outcome approach...or if he starts to really focus on contact. Option 1 - 3 outcome - 240/310 / 35-40 HRs Option 2 - Contact focus - 265/325 / 25-30 HRs Which one would we like? Based on his previous numbers I think Option 1 is probably more realistic.

2? The one on the Bears is 32nd in the NFL in completion percentage...(I know he is a comeback king)

So now we have to judge the Robert trade on Acuna and whatever return we get from him also. That makes this a lot better on the optics. Technically they still have another 10 mil this season that should be accounted for also...but im sure that was mura. A really nice move.

Time for a new signature and name....or should I wear this as a proud black eye of judgement?

100%...but if he wants 7 years...they wont give that to him apparently...so doing their due diligence again makes sense. With the protection in that lineup...I actually think Robert would play pretty well for the Yankees if 100% healthy. But the return would be mediocre.

to get this back on track to the topic of the OP...with these moves they have made the last week...they at least look like they are trying to make a plan to be "competitive". IMO this team will be sneaky good in 2027, and next season is a coin flip based on health, some improvements with the lineup looking mostly settled and some good ole luck (when was the last time they got some of that)? The outlook on the team is SO MUCH better than a year ago, so I guess give Getz some love. I refuse to get overly optimistic with this rebuild though as I thought the last one 5 years back was going to lead to multiple division winners....

Is Getz competent? Because he is actually making moves a competing team like the Cubs should be making...
