What’s gotten into you, Ron? This is so out of character for you. We all like the Ron that sticks with making serious posts all the time.

I would too. Sox apparently don’t agree.

True, but he has had big seasons in the past. He did get busted for PEDs in the minors. Perhaps he snuck in cycle this season. 🤣

Oh, I don’t even know if this guy would be worth it. There isn’t anyone out there. Jonah Heim was probably the only other decent catcher out there other than Bart that wouldn’t have cost much in a trade.

But there’s levels to this. If Rogers was available, I’m sure the Sox would be trying to get him.

Looks like he was pretty good last year. Doesn’t strike out enough guys though.

“Nationals released RHP Zack Littell.” I know nothing about him other than his Baseball Reference page. Worth a pickup or is he a gas can at this point?

Was wondering the same thing. His minor league numbers look really good but it seems like he never had success hitting at the major league level.

I’ll take the over…

Yes, this can be confirmed. Also @bobbydanks, what number beer were you on when you posted this?

They obviously don’t like Lee due to his defensive game, even though he is hitting at Charlotte. Looks like Haase has been hitting since joining Charlotte. Perhaps he gets a shot soon?

First the Guardians with Genao and now the Twins…

It’s all a reference to someone else clowning me in another thread. No worries.

Wasn’t sure anyone would get the joke since he randomly had a Tigers hat on. But maybe that makes it better. 🤣 The guy’s look of despair yet interest is perfect. 🫣

The ol’ Mandick. Member when he was a beast for a decent number of at bats a few years ago?

I used to audit company’s networks in the Chicagoland area. Numerous companies had security camera systems management portals accessible on the Internet with defaulted admin credentials.

Yeah, that’s why my son couldn’t unlock newer car doors with the Flipper Zero. Because they went to rolling code key fobs in the mid 1990’s.

Flipper Zero. Bought one for my son. Fun times…

That too. Also, with every move being for a non-rental it seems like these deadline acquisitions were pretty much half of Getz’s work for next offseason.

I will never attain that level of Nostradamusness.

I guess I just don’t think he should get credit for dumping a bad contract that he himself gave out. If it was someone like Benintendi that Getz managed to dump, then he should get the credit because he was technically a Hahn signing.

I never make game threads or grade trades, just so I can say I told you so later. It’s a sound strategy and something only a supervillain like me could think of.

Yes, I understand that. But just because he managed to dump Seranthony doesn’t mean Castillo only costs $12-13 million.
