I'm past worrying about flip candidates. Build a team that is fun to watch and maybe start winning some games. Perhaps even a division title. Yeah, we can always make the trades when they make sense, but they aren't why we should acquire players. That takes away playing time for the young guns.

I like Getz a lot. My remark was meant to say that Getz knows nothing positive comes with sharing with the press or fans. Example: We would love to find a way to acquire Hays isn't going to work to our advantage. However, we are having talks with both FA's and possible trade partners for outfield help, which keeps fans happy. In general, the GMs all play the same game.

I doubt Getz shares all his thoughts with the public.

The Benintendi money could be used to upgrade the starter pitcher we are bound to acquire. The division is within reach with just a little more effort.

It's the same old, is the glass half empty or half full puzzle. I'm just suggesting it's more fun to buy into the idea that the glass is filling quickly.

I didn't tell you anything.

Let's just say you aren't trying real hard to see some of the positives.

It's better than wallowing in self-pity IMO.

In the "old days," I would agree with you. With today's 5-inning starts, if we are lucky, it's practically mandatory.

Check.

I don't understand why Jerry wants to be the managing partner if he can't afford to play the game. Estate taxes are not driven by the title you have. Taxes are driven by the value of the holding at his time of death.

I was poking Jerry and his tight-fisted ways. Hays would be one of my position player targets at this point.

The free agents in our price range are still available.

Pathetic if true.

I like speed!

This!

AJ comes to mind.

Amen to this.

A B A A---this was easy.

We don't have anyone at this time who would do better. Get some pitching and stop worrying about Robert IMO.

I don't want any player with these conditions. Sign a 1-year deal or a 3-year deal.

For me, it screams keep Robert and go for it.

Great idea!😁

I am delighted to have a player mentioned in the same breath as Ohtani.😄

I'd rather have Hays as well but Kepler does intrigue me until McGomery arrives.
