Chris Getz. Either the prospect, the player dev guy, or the GM is on line 2.

Luis Robert sez Hola.

Yeah it scares the s%*# out of me, but at some point you have to act like big boys who believe they are a 21st century baseball team complete with scouts and development. If they believe Made is a guy, make the deal for him, and around him.

Might as well lose out and hope for a chance at Will Campbell.

That is a really interesting update. Maybe the Brewers can get into the conversation if they are willing to start with him and 2-3 of the rest of their top 5 while at the same time teams like the Red Sox and Orioles aren't willing to include their top guys.

Well, that's where we have to hope and pray that we have hired better scouting and player development than the last group.

After this deal, every free agent probably went back and added 25% to their demands.

I think they have the type of deal that about 5 teams could beat if they wanted to. We really need the type of deal that is almost impossible to beat.

This is the last warning. The thread has been cleaned out and split, and I don't want to do it again.

They lack stars at the top that a few other systems could offer.

If second rate farm systems are still in the running this deep in the game for Crochet, that probably tells us what the offers currently look like.

To me this is the interesting thing. If Soto is worth $50+ per year, is a couple of years of Robert at $20 million really that big of a risk? At the very least it looks a lot better today than it did at the same time yesterday.

How you draft a "generational" QB, yet leave him with that toilet bowl of an offensive line is almost negligence.

The rumor is Jerry also offered 765, but it was thousand, and not million.

Now we just need the Mets to offer their top 10 for Crochet

That's awesome.

Looking at our roster? No. Hell, no.

Was her name Jerry?

Don't worry, he will get his panic call up/dfa before you know it.

They should be able to get a couple of picks that would make the 26. It's not like they have a ton of talent or depth

Unless he sold his own shares to make the new sale.

Yeah, whatever happened to that guy anyway? Moron.

Where are you finding a better ranked SS for cheaper on the open market?

Seeing the Os signing the Red Sox OF makes me wonder if one of the young OFs free up from them too.

He was 5th last year in fWAR for all SSs last year. What should the 5th best overall SS in MLB slot in at on the free agent market? His ISO was 6th. His RC+ was 7th. His OPS was 8th. His defense rating was 10th.
