Yep and depending on the labor relations maybe not 2027 either.

But who picks the players to spend the money on. From what I hear JR only gets involved in setting the budget and approving (or usually rejecting) really large contracts. The issue always has been who the team can afford while fielding a full team under the budget. This is why having a group of young pre-arb players is so important. With that cost saving they may be able to afford 1 or 2 high end players. JR usually has a payroll in the middle of the pack.

Many minor leaguers eat at fast food chains. They dont make a great salary in general.

I think most people have been saying that all season in light of the labor impasse coming in 2027

This one i agree with you on.

This guy plays every infield position

Yeah, he obviously wasn't worth much so even a utility type guy was worth it.

Maybe Rojas will be gone?

Dang.

I agree. That's huge if true.

We'll see if he can build the team. That will be the proof.

Personally, I thinks its just time to move on from the while situation. So in this case I probably would have.

Yes, its on hom. Its his job to determine if the return is worth the trade. Just because a bunch of people on a posting board want it done doesn't mean its always the right thing. The jury is still out on Getz. Well know on a couple of years.

Because i dont agree. I understand your point. I just dont agree.

So would you rather be mad at a light return or mad that a trade isnt made. Irrationality is real.

Not colluding but reports are that at least one team valued civale more than Houser. May all the teams are looking at his bad K/bb ratio and other stats and think he isnt as good. During trade time we tend to over value our own players. Would you rather be mad at a light return or mad that the trade wasnt made?

Agreed.

That's the key. He should be worth. Bit what are the offers?

I would sell high. If its was anything worth it. Seems teams think Civale has more value than Houser by reports.

If the offer is just a DSL flyer or the equivalent, yes. Depends on the offer. Why would he trade him for something that's not worth it? He does have intrinsic value for the team. I would trade all of them if they could get something of value. I just dont know what the offers were to make that decision.

Sorry. Didn't realize i wasnt allowed to express my opinion on WHO I wanted to see. We are talking all about retread pitchers here. If they aren't getting anything worth it back I want to see the current pitcher continue to pitch the innings.

True but at least its some quality.

Ewww. I forgot about Perez though. I have no interest in seeing any of the others.

I forgot about Perez. I have no interest in seeing the other 2. If they have to shut down Smith or any of the others. They'll probably need them though.

I think he is valuable enough to take innings from the young pitchers to protect thoer arms if they dont have a offer of anything more than just a flyer. Someone will need to throw the innings.
