Has the feel of now Getz wanting to show Ishbia he belongs in his current post. Time to get a few wins on the board this year

One thing that irrationally upsets me about Meidroth-- you just know that...Jerry.. ...loves this guy

Fans and prospect evaluators had very differing views of what Elko is. He was not making the Top 30 lists, which is actually not that hard to do if you are any good

jerry's partners have not had payouts in a long time. if he passed away tomorrow, they would be sold right after. the only way it would drag on is if michael secretly loved the idea of being a baseball owner for awhile but i dont really see him involved with the team much rn. just basketball.

crawling through the Shawshank s%*# pipe for 40 years, i think at some point i looked to my right and noticed Mike Caruso. but just kept plowing along.

it is nice that when i visit my dad i can now have this on in the background instead of the loud politics men

Tauchman was great for the clubhouse- he has taught you that you gotta limp across that finish line even if you are down to one leg ha-chaaa

not sure how to feel about this, after all i am still extremely upset that Law was UNFAIR TO MADRIGAL the greek god of contact

Teams dont give up hitting and Thaiss was clearly sell-high situation so i'm fine with it

There probably is little market, but youre arguing we want 0 over maybe-something. I would rather have a reliever than nothing, so what is the harm in trying? People think Elko will be harmed by some more AAA time. I dont get it. How does that hold back his value? Was Eloy going to be better with 2 earlier months in MLB? No. He was always going to be this thing he became.

another thing to consider too is that bats just were not plentiful at the last deadline. we will have bats to offer, the question is.. are they good. the deadline stats will tell that tale, not the current ones.

Vaughn might be worth nothing but if you can get him hot for these next months then there is a little something there. there is team control for next year so that brings in suitors that are smaller market teams that like that team option (of sorts). We dragged the Fedde trade endlessly. Now a guy we got from that at the deadline is producing and the young prospect Perez is having a nice year. If Vaughn is worth a reliever with some control, ok, it's not much. But we talk about how the Dodgers pile pitching upon pitching, so we have to stop whining about our lack of a pile and try to put one on the pile. If we can get one.

i know it will be unacceptable to the masses here but: what matters more is maybe getting Vaughn hot enough to trade him for some teams #30 prospect. he would have to get really hot. but there is still something to gain there (he obviously will not be here in 2026, but a trading team would get control for 2026, so they could make the decision) Elko development is less important than that. Because we are going to be bad for awhile so Elko can feel free to develop after the trade deadline, and that lost time is not going to really matter much in the grand scheme. He'll either get it or he wont but experience from now-to-deadline wont make or break that. He also may honestly not be more than like a second division regular 1B, even though right now our eyes are very wide open over him

Lenny Sosa on a little bit of a hitting spree lately

technically though these social media posts are correct because the pope is bound to Love All People

Ishbia is going to come here and try to make it a moneymaker, and then put money into it. what we want-- it's going to go the other way. at least at first Cubs fans were openly told 'we are going to build the neighborhood up first' and big ticket FAs were not signed. and that is pretty ballsy to do in a case where you already have a big attendance you can risk losing. the sox dont even have That, as a start off point, though. these are land deals. even though they are the stuff of our hearts

thank you. to refer to T2/Miles Dyson..you have detailed files

the thing with Elko is we are so metrically sound in today's game that it would be weird for a dangerous bat to fall that far in the draft. Unless he somehow added some crazy amount of bat speed. the expected stats in MILB indicate he was due to come back to earth some. it's wild to think it but if George Wolkow spent a few years improving his bat to ball a decent amount, he'd just be at Elko level, and we're not sure if Elko can make it on his bat. Conclusion being, MLB is difficult as hell.

This is egg on the face of all Sox fans who dared actually leave a little open room on the face that didnt already have egg on it

Harold just curious but what were your Miguel Vargas notes , if any, the last several years

data being so leaguewide and predictive now - i am wondering... what are the circumstances where a star hitting prospect even gets traded? the traits are so visible to the team's own people, if those people have the right power allotted to them, and trust. you may not be able to predict exactly which prospects become stars but you can probably correctly rope off a group of star-eligible prospects and not miss one. and keep those hands-off from teams. That landscape..is why we got Quero. that was a rash decision made by Arte Moreno at the deadline, and part of it was to try to give Ohtani a ring and a reason to stay. Ohtani = $$ and Angels GM feeling pressures, not just using his thought process.

Robert will be like a Kikuchi situation. The swing data and defense/speed metrics looks good, so teams these days are so high tech they wont be bothered by the lack of production. last year Fedde was production and Kikuchi was data, and we saw what won. On top of that Robert is a position player. Those dont become available. So i could see a (low) Top 100 prospect coming this way. Once there are a few bidders.

Cubs fans though were saying that he had some horrific miscues defensively. I think something has changed there, i dont know if it's the physical issues or what
