Does he deserve the cute nickname?

Rumors checking in that Imai likes the sauce. A lot 😱

It’s tough to get prospects in 2025 even if you’re offering a clean player, let alone Luis Robert. It’s likely just a salary dump for nominal dudes at the end of the day if there actually is a trade. Which would be a damn sight disappointment. Jerry owes us a shot at 2026 entertainment. That’s the least he can do.

‘So, now that we have signed Bleday, will you settle for taking the trash we are offering?’ Getz: No

The only way to figure this out is if we are operating on the assumption that they are spending Luis Robert’s salary. Otherwise, who the heck are we?

Flat fastball. 20 degree arm angles and such. Fears of Reynaldo Lopez

Hey hey hey. Easy. This is our fucking city

Jerry’s reputation precedes him

Moncada Vs the wall?? Oh noes

Getz is losing what little leverage he had. As it stands, we’re probably trading Robert just to save Jerry a little money. From a fan standpoint, I am pulling the plug on my Robert trade endorsement which was tepid anyway. Barring some unforeseen crazed GM that blows Getz away with a top prospect Revisit this idea at the deadline if Robert raised his value

They’re not making the move if they know Robert is coming

It’s a move you quickly make when trade talks for Robert fall through at least

I’m sure there may have been outliers who had questions, were more comfortable trading down. The trick is to not be a sheep, and be the exceptional GM, not “the entire NFL”

He’s still dealing with Covid. Bring him home

Unlike Ryan Poles, who only scouted one quarterback. But I digress

Jerry is also 1 year older.

The next Big Red Machine, speaking of the Reds. Under construction. Getz is now a genius, life comes at you fast.

I definitely appreciate the idea of crossing off worries over 2026. Yet OTOH, there isn’t much difference in potential good outcomes whichever path is chosen with regards to Robert. Keeping Robert until the deadline on the off chance he rehabbed some trade value is as reasonable choice as any. And as a bonus, it would be a lot more fun to watch this lineup with Robert bracketed by real left handed threats. For potential entertainment value alone without very much downside to worry over, the option of keeping Robert around for awhile grows on me.

It’s not about 2026

He could use a little more lean mass, less baby fat

You know how the Sox work. They’re opening a Japanese pipeline

Aliens concerned about all the nuclear powered weapons

A really good pricetag, awesome!👏 A really good pricetag, uh oh. 😕

Stopgap moves are actually encouraging if you’re looking for a vote of confidence in him. I ain’t mad.
