Which is funny just because he'd be the only guy you'd pin signability concerns on. Which is why I'm not at all worried about getting 20 (maybe a junior goes back in that 11-20 rounds), it's just funny for one of the more straightfoward classes after Schultz committed.

considering how college heavy the draft was I'm surprised how slow this roll out of signings has been. Again - not saying there is an issue just seems different than years past.

I would definitely circle the cards. I left Rosenthal's latest extremely unconvinced by his Padres arguments. Rizzo's group are still pretty good scouts, and they may favor players not annointed by the prospect numbers.

Red Sox have a similar Wild Card chance as the white sox, yet unlike the white sox have zero chance in their division. They also have a bunch-o-upcoming free agents, esp. pitching. Starting Pitchers Eovaldi, Wacha Relief Pitchers Strahm Position Players JD Martinez (bogaerts) Eovaldi not having a great year, and Strahm is injured but I believe is just a wrist bruise. Martinez is RH, but is still above average vs. RHP. And we know the one thing JR will splurge on is a positionless, past his prime slugger who is paid more than their market. Wacha would be pretty good Kopech slot guy. They are .500 and hopeless. While we are .500 and ascending.

Placeholder thread because today is the deadline to come to an agreement on this. This article is a nice summary, but odds are no deal is struck and status quo continues. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/league-mlbpa-exchange-proposals-on-international-draft.html

if TLR is the manager I have a feeling there will be a number of obstacles thrown in colas' way.

I mean hell when was the last no doubter deadline win? Charles Johnson? Quintana was early and you can give it out if people want. Peavy was not added for that year. Youk was awesome in the first month and a half but cratered in Sept. Even when it came to selling, most of hahns worst work was at deadline. Rutherford, Cordell, Medeiros, Gillaspie, traded our INTL bonus pool money to shed Nate Jones. 2005 is a 'win' because of our sweet dear Blum. OK, Peavy deal no. 2, looking back that was actually an incredible deal in mlb talent (squandered) in getting Montas, Avi Garcia.

He's league avg against RHP. I know that doesn't really help, but I'm putting him in the positivity box because I'm pretty certain/concerned that whomever they get in the "helps against LHP" or "power" bucket will come with equally difficult downsides ("defense").

I don’t know that I’m advocating this but given that we expect Hahn to shop in the sales bin, I was thinking about Laureano. He does not help in the RH or power dept (though he’s fine there), but he could kick Robert to RF. Given the timidity Robert is playing center with, having some more actual outfielders and a real CF could help. Hes still, even after PEDs, an above average offensive player. And some of his profile seems like he’s a buy low candidate to me. Put it in the plan E bin.

Let’s see if Colas can keep this going for more than a month before proclaiming him a major league star. Until a few weeks ago he was only doing good as an older player in one of our best offensive environments.

That seems like the case. Just heard some podcasts saying that Toman may have asked for more at the moment than Schultz, this would refute that.

Here we go, a nice clean forum.

Toman only signed for $2 mill

Great farm day. We’ll have plenty of years to worry about the hit tool but this game power we are getting from Gladney, Veras is intriguing. They may have 30 homers in W-S

Definitely fun arms for me. He at least has the Davis Martin thing where he’s had some incredible games. That he can miss bats is enough to hope he suddenly leaps in either secondaries or command

2.5 years of Soto

Was just thinking this too haha

There really aren’t any signability concerns with Schultz basically committing but oddly late on Sox signings. Probably will be announced in a string tomorrow.

Fuck that’s an incredible 3-1 pitch. I hate CLE

Reese this one Yas

He refuses to donate his seed to me for my project? ?

Please Andrew Vaughn bat 1-9

Lol
