Fielder Jones

Sure there is a chance Jose Rodriguez becomes a 2 WAR guy or better. There's a chance of anything happening with roster constraints and all teams face those constraints. Thats why you get Adam Eatons and Carlos Quentins falling in your lap. We have had those realities benefit us before and hurt us before. All teams struggle with that. The things to be mad about are situations where we misevaluate ourselves under no pressures otherwise (Semien). Or having disagreement on a super young guy (someone really valued Tatis and someone didnt, apparently)

off duty cop from beverly probably sat on his gun

Not sure if meaningful. Adam Jones isnt up early.. he lives in Barcelona

qu'en est-il de danks

Robert Murray says in his pod that Merrifield is not near signing anywhere.

Ok. An actual MLB player, and it's fine. Rarity this offseason really.

Maybe not in these proposed ways, but i could see the Orioles trading Santander. they dont like to pay that last big arb year, i'm sure. that's how they operate. Even though theyre win now i can see them weaseling out of it and selling it to the fanbase somehow if it involves a pitcher coming in

i kinda felt the opposite, like the Sox are the ones messaging through all these writers saying no-trade-likely. thats the last threat left-- that we'd take cease into the season.

What's more likely is they just dont choose that prospect of the ones offered. If they were really in love with a bat-only prospect though... then they would take him without a concern for 2024 (which is probably Eloy's last year with the Sox). Prospects should be acquired based on quality instead of fit. Because you will invariably trade some or change what they have to fit around (over time)

Getz has gotten his job on promising people in the right positions. So sure on another team he can pass for a position he cant play. But not here. And the league is not trending that way anyway so if his bat is very good it's not going to be an issue and he's going to take a team's 1b or dh

Mayo's looking like 1b

isnt there a difference with Glasnow though? it was baked in that he would sign an extension (not a Boras guy gives him value in that sense). The terms of the trade were determined by his already existing willingness to complete the extension immediately
