I miss when the Dbacks front office sucked.

Well, I would say Vizquel being pushed out is some indication that they are trying to align minor leagues to their analytics and PD team. But every team is doing that. I think Getz is legitimately trying to do all the right things but it's just not done at nearly the urgency it should have. As soon as Sale was traded they should have done a complete overhaul knowing that their future rested on young players yet to be developed.

Why? As a second pitcher and his age I think he's as likely as any to be one of the more productive low-tier signings this year.

This would be my bet.

I'd be happy with Price, but the stuff you get worried about as they have nagging injuries is them constantly compensating and stressing some other part of their arm - and always introducing a new injury. But yeah, it has not been that sale level injury where you are worried about it long term.

Sign Adam Jones and Jose Bautista and win the 2013 AL East

ok, congrats, cut it out.

I mean Heyman isn't gospel, just thought Id pass along since I happened to be listening.

Just listening to Heyman on the score, he says he's not hearing sox at all on Ryu, have heard them on keuchel.

getz has been pretty routinely emptying out DSL each year to go to AZL.

I don't know, after being embarrassed about how provocative they were last year when they couldn't back it up, all of this read to me as a "we are going to evaluate the opportunities". And the thing I actually liked is (despite not trusting sox valuations) is they are not giving the impression that they are just moving down the line of top free agents in order to catch a big fish (i.e. we missed out on wheeler, welp, lets throw it all at bumgarner). Now, this is grading on a curve, since I still think the best use of their cheap talent is to spend a shit ton on another star and then operate in this zone they are already in of value tier free agents, but I'll take what I can get.

Actually struggling to remember. I think he backed out of a three way trade where we netted Edwin Jackson, but I think we wanted him to go to Nats for Dunn.

Read yesterday that Rizzo included all of his scouts in the WS shares. So glad that guy won a WS, he can be arrogant and he screwed over the sox, but he runs a damn good FO and rewards his players well.

I don't think that characterizes what Fegan in particular wrote, and I also think he wrote it with a skepticism of what this FO can accomplish.

You put way too much emphasis on headlines written by like 23 year old editors

why is it

That’s interesting, I would have liked Lyles and I like that the Rangers targeted him. Between their targeting of Wheeler, report of not signing Ozuna, and this I’m actually getting some confidence in their decision making again (though the best moves are the ones they took themselves out of but that’s the owner)

Per Rosenthals latest, the giants are in the lead for Castellanos (at least believed to be)

It also stated there may actually be wholesale change according to sources. This game is WOOF. Terrible basketball, both teams exhausted on a B2B

I think it was like 10 pm the Monday of in 2016 when morosi reported the nats package for sale.

Boom. This one is the most cold water yet, wasn’t a matter of semantics even.

Not bad...but with the Mets new ownership I’m not feeling they are going to sell.

You don’t have to lose Madrigal. You could move Moncada to RF.
