Acuna basically the closest. But yeah...at this point hard to say why even though Acuna May be poised to be a bit better

So...if this happens my hypothesis is Sox bring in Dodgers since Hahn seems to be able to work with Friedman on complex deals.

So Rosenthal latest in the Athletic, mentions Indians really do want a power hitting OFer and there isn’t a match there with sox. Mentioned how Indians have successfully brought in third team for most recent trades.

That said I agree

We have no idea what’s being offered.

Somebody watches Paw Patrol

Lol obviously this got stuck posting on my mobile for a while post McCann K

How many consecutive Ks with men in scoring position? Tough weekend.

I put $100 on Madrigal homering every game. Same as a lotto ticket

Just one of those downtime’s with our bullpen. Gotta hope it’s temporary and also plz let Bummers catch session go well

I’m choosing to believe it’s real, yes fine if you must have Engel ugh it’s tough but ... no...okay yes fine

Discuss this one here, the other will be your Lynn Thread

Y’all I hate to break it to you but I’m probably going to break out a Lynn and clevinger thread so enjoy your catchal for a bit longer

I thought he was just activated?

Someone I’d still be down for but not knowing the price at all is Musgrove.

Who is going to offer compelling big leaguers? The point of trades is to improve, not many have surplus MLB talent. Thats stuff that cLE are saying to not be embarrassed they are in first and firesaling

Also if it’s not kopech it will be some other mid round dude they turn into Shane Bieber. They have all those 17 year olds they’ve drafted that will eventually arrive

I do have some sympathy for how terrible it must be to be a CLE fan despite the orgs competence the last 30 years

I hope we all recall that CLE still needs to pay up for the IOU they gave us to take Alonso. So time to pay the piper “Cleveland”, we’ll take clevinger and you get back Engel...MAYBE

His bat is about 3 seconds late on every fastball. If teams valued him as a catcher we’d know it. As it stands he’s a power hitting DH with a questionable hit tool, and there are a lot of those.

Yes, this.

No but he’s rumored on the block. Milone was just traded.

Kinda funny that all of the marginal SP FAs from last Jan/Feb (gausman, Milone, rosenthal) all performed decently and are the main trade acquisitions thus far.

Love your posts. My other thing is this: at this point we have the “control” we need. Most of our impact guys are controlled, a big enough core to mix and match around them. Don’t overrate control on the next addition, maximize impact. I’d much rather trade “18 years of control” the phrase people are using for 1.5 excellent years than four 2.5-3 win years. Are 3 win players hard to find? Sure, but the thing that will push us each year a little bit harder will be turning an average or below position like one of our SP or RF spots and turning it into an all star or better.
