Grandal has been pretty bad in the second half at the plate. He's definitely going to be rotating between all 3 positions. I hope we keep Collins and he learns some stuff. He literally could be a younger Yas at the plate.

IMAGINE BEING OUTBID BY JERRY REINSDORF

I love the idea of Robert as lead off, a la Springer/Acuna. Moncada would be my 2 since he is the perfect 2 hole hitter. Madrigal at 9 as your second leadoff guy.

This was a really nice Birthday present

They really need to just pay him. If we get stuck with Keuchel I'll be fucking pissed.

He's going to get 5 from someone.

I'm fine with this. Wasn't the knock on him that he still held a very Ricky Renteriaesque view on baseball and wasn't an analytics guy? If that is true and I didn't make that up, good.

Idk why I thought the draft was today. I figured a website would have the transactions displayed

Is there a link to watch the draft anywhere? If that is even a thing?

How dare you.

So you're basing this on a comment section that is publically available, got it. Actual executives and reporters are saying the hammer is coming down.

Lol what? Where did you read that because everything coming out is saying the opposite. I think I read they could only be fined somewhere up to 2 or 3 million dollars. There is a 0% chance that is all they get.

He has close to the same market that Martinez had. Sox, Jays, Rangers, Rays, maybe Mariners again lol.

Mets have a roster crunch and still need an actual CF. If they get a JBJ or Marte they'll have to shed 1 or 2 of their OFs. Cespedes complicates it some more too.

Roll Tide

I was being facetious as Jack believes we should go after G. Polanco because he's "virtually free", as if there isn't a reason for it.

They can probably be in the mix if they hit on free agents or make a good trade or 2. Trading for Betts is mortgaging your future before it's even here.

Lewis Brinson would be freeER, maybe we make a push for him?

Polanco has averaged 1 WAR a year over 6 years and holds a career .320 OBP. No.

I mean, we'd also have to trade one of Gio, Cease, Kopech, or Lopez.

If he'd take a minor league deal sure.

Joey Gallo strikes out 200x a year and OPS's over .800. I would take that from Collins and I don't think he would k near that much.

There is no reason to trade any of our legitimate prospects for Betts unless that comes with a contract extension. He is a free agent in 2021.

Aside from the obvious ones, I want Vieira back as well. I would hate if some other team picked him up and he started throwing strikes. 102 doesn't grow on trees even with rising velos.

He's going to be more than Harper and less than Trout. 350-380 million? Maybe more? Just go and get Cole for 80-100 million less.
