If this bum plays the outfield, they will be wasting at bats that could’ve gone to Colas.

This could be post of the Jerry regime.

He isn’t going to return much.

Most of Getz’s offseason acquisitions probably felt like this.

Blake Rutherford. Zero power.

Perhaps we could get back Chase De Jong.

Heyman thinks the Yankees should only trade Spencer Jones for Tarik Skubal, not for Crochet. ?

Thanks. Did Remillard replace Grossman on the 40-man when Grossman was traded?

You may be correct. Remillard was outrighted to Charlotte on 4/30. Do they have to wait 10 days to call him back up?

I believe Remillard was actually on the 40-man roster and available in Charlotte when Ramos was called up. Remillard was called up a few days later when Grossman was traded to Texas, so your statement isn’t true.

Nah, I’m used to Sox position prospects busting out and you should be too. But you have to keep trying.

Baldwin will be 24 in a month and isn’t a top prospect. See what he can do. Remember when Getz called up Bryan Ramos from AA with crappy numbers earlier this season? Now THAT was rushing a prospect.

Or Robert. Senzel also played CF for the Reds prior to this year. But I would agree with you that it is likely DeJong.

Colas or Baldwin, depending on where this stupid front office plans on playing Senzel, outfield or infield.

Senzel also plays the outfield. Dude can’t hit a lick. Already 29 years old and bad. He has a -2.2 bWAR for his career. Another crappy player right up Getz’s alley. Just gonna waste at bats on a proven scrub.

I know it’s been said before but this just tells me Crochet is as good as gone.

I was going to ask what the feedback was on his first draft. Everyone said he can’t be judged on his offseason alone. Not until the draft and the trade deadline.

I prefer guys that can do a standing jump out of a pool while fully submerged. ?

You did the same thing I did. @JoeC was a sneaky guy between his title and three word post.

I didn’t even think Jason was the greatest like some people think, but Schriffen has made me reassess. Jason was definitely better but Schriffen being absolutely terrible probably makes people miss Benetti even more.

Yeah, I edited my post right when you were posting this. But you sure were right about Eloy… oops.

89 strikeouts In 209 plate appearances at Single A this year. Still bad. Still a nice prospect though, and it’s early. Hopefully he can cut his K rate down to 25 to 30%.

You already answered it, but the only way team options are a negative is if the buyouts are very expensive. $2 million is not expensive at all, and if Robert actually does stay healthy and puts up the numbers he is capable of, no team is going to find a guy like that for only $20 million in 2026 and 2027. If Rosenthal truly said this, he and his bow tie are dead wrong. This isn’t difficult. Tell me one player a team can acquire next offseason like Robert for 3/$55 million. Not happening. And the buyouts are actually an out for any team that acquires him just in case Robert suffers some horrible long-term injury. 2024: $12.5M 2025: $15M 2026: $20M club option ($2M buyout) 2027: $20M club option ($2M buyout)

That’s a good point. But do we know for sure that it was either Hahn and/or Kenny going to Nightengale, rather than JR?

That was my first thought. The only guy Jerry would pay that much, his buddy.
