I think Gio and McCann are on the same wavelength. McCann puts down the sign and Gio throws the ball. Gio has confidence in how McCann calls the game.

You could be right.?

1 year = good...18 million = bad

I like having Greg and his contrarian views. If we all agree on everything...there is nothing to talk about.

This is sensible.

You don't get better by trading your best relief pitcher for a one year rental. Fulmer straight up is about right.

We've been told how players love Renteria. Girardi is a technically good manager not particularly liked by his players.

Yeah...Philly and Cinci are really desirable places to live.

We could just sign Wheeler and Ryu plus sign two of the best relievers we can find. Might as well become a pitching powerhouse.

Thanks...excellent article. Hope it accurate.

We disagree...I'll live.

Sanchez, Engel and Gracia are all fine in a backup roll. Actually...ideal!

In a few weeks Sanchez will probably be back for about 4 million. Needs to find out his value is limited to about that number.

I presume you have a source.?

I don't know but I like his train of thought.

You lied to your wife about something so important? How unusual.

I agree with you. Hated the trade when it happened and still do. My Cub fan brother thinks it was great for the WS reason. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

Wasn't pointless to Garfien. Got a few extra listeners.

I don't think a new DH is in our future. The rotation of catchers provide the DH position.

I would love that going into the meetings.

Teams look in on lots of players just to be sure they have done due diligence. There are limited teams going to spend 100+ million on Wheeler. Players need to be careful not to overplay their hands just like owners shouldn't lowball.

I believe 160 + makes the top third of MLB. A major market such as the WS have zero reason not to be in the top third of baseball. I believe we will spend this amount in 2020.

We shouldn't be outbid by any team for any players we want. Our financial situation is second to none. To clarify...a player can get so costly as to be a poor acquisition but not unaffordable.

Scary stuff.

I agree 100%.
