Eh I don’t mind this part. I find it refreshing when players are actually honest and not robots. The part that gets me is, dude, you were OPS’ing .501 this spring on a stacked offensive team. Either force the issue or read the room a little better.

When you're basing his entire value only on what you've seen from him in the past, you're not really entertaining the idea that he can improve. But whatever, maybe it's just semantics. Not really a hill I care to die on either way.

Uh... Sure sounds like your mind is made up.

It wouldn't exactly be the craziest thing in the world for a former top prospect to figure it out at the age of 25. I get it. Odds are he doesn't amount to much, but to declare that it's impossible for him to improve is just wild.

F*ck it. All Star Miguel Vargas.

49 - 113. The roster is just as bad, but Venable will know how to navigate this better than Grifol ever did.

Questioning them is fine. Treating every little thing like it's unique to the White Sox and a result of their dysfunction is being willfully ignorant and lazy.

I’m onboard the “Miguel Vargas becomes a decent MLB regular” train. Even bolder, Luis Robert stays healthy and productive up to the trade deadline.

So you’re just skipping right past the rational middle ground and going from one extreme to the other?

Huh. Very cool for him. Even though I thought Davis Martin deserved it.

I liked those San Diego ones. One of the few city connects that actually felt fun and creative.

Some people would prefer to do other things with their time and money than watch the bad baseball team that they are a fan of. Seems pretty simple.

I’m not really seeing him getting past the Raiders.

Sure, but I don't think that should prevent the Dodgers from being proactive about a trade now. I think it's all relative to how they want to approach it. You can make a lesser offer now, using the greater injury risk and performance uncertainty as leverage. Or you can let things play out and if Robert looks good, you're more comfortable with him as a player, but you're probably not going to be able to buy as low as you could have earlier.

True. I just want a third option that doesn't involve Gallo at all. This is Moustakas 2.0 nonsense.

Josh is whatever but I'd say Margalus is more objective than the average poster here.

Is there really no one else that can be getting these Gallo at bats?

Sandy Alcantara feels like an obvious target, but I don’t know if the Yankees have the prospects to get it done.

I think it's having the solid vets around while Caleb is still on his rookie contract where you can more easily spend money. Meanwhile you're also drafting and developing for the future without relying on them being starters from day 1.

Does it personally hurt you that Cali enjoyed yesterday’s game?

That’s, uh, not true at all.

Side note: Is there a way to embed a bluesky post like we can do for tweets?

Artie Moreno’s ears just perked up.

Poor Oakland fans. If only their team was forced to spend money earlier. Good for Butler, though. Dude can ball.
