Ross smells an awful lot like an RV hire, except worse because he's probably buddies with half those guys

Yeah, I'm much more concerned that they find players who aren't useless.

I'd love to see it, but feels like a pipe dream to me.

I still think, should there original teams have given them the contracts they wanted last year, they would have still dipped their toes in the water.

Mookie is great and I would love to have him here, but the price is probably way to high for 1 year of great player in a window that still might not quite be open. If you want him pony up the dough next offseason.

Too many good players is a problem I want to have

Hahn's comments seem to indicate that

1 year deal + arbitration

I can't decide if a .671 OPS despite hitting <.200 is mildly encouraging or not.

I'd give Tatis and Torres a look but other than that not a soul on here I'd rather have

For now

Not more just different. DRS isn't big on Moncada's defense, but UZR likes it. The opposite is true of Anderson, not that either say he's been good.

It's not that far off in all but like 7 North American cities

Saw someone frame it as trading an unknown commodity for a known MVP, and like yeah that's true, but completely ignores hugely important context.

Pretty sure ole danny is on his side with this one

People have been clowning the idea of Kole Calhoun, but I think that would be a solid pickup provided he's not the best or only pickup

Not really, I'd be pretty surprised if he gets more than like 15 million a year over 3 or 4 years.

I think the overwhelming majority of players want to play where they get the best deal. Full stop. Everything else is posturing.

It's a total bullshit excuse. Give the most money, get the star 95% of the time.

Need another starter, i'd be happy with where the lineup would be at

One Hopkins catch/non-drop from going 3-0. That missed PAT fake out really hurt.

That's because Bruce Levine is a dumb ass

They gave 25 million dollars to The Man 3 years years ago.

Do people even give out contractual incentives for batting titles anymore? And the difference between .330 and .335 in a given year means absolutely nothing for future base salaries.

I'm not trying to bail them out quite yet, because only time is going to tell, but maybe, just maybe, their process was on point and they were the ones that valued Machado correctly. It just matters if that money does in fact get spent and spent well.
