Lemme stop ya right there.

Robert is under control for 3.5 years. If someone doesn't meet his price, you have this off-season, plus next trade deadline, plus next off season before you really start to get into a depreciation situation. I get the Crochet situation is unique with only 2.5 years left, and an innings limit for this season, but Robert is really a no need to rush situation. All it does it push back getting more players into the system.

If GMs get the impression that Chris Getz will panic and drop his prices and all they have to do is wait, he is not doing his job. If it means holding on to someone for a while, so be it. Rick Hahn played this to perfection with Jose Quintana.

If teams are scared, hopefully Captain Panic doesn't lose patience again.

And you aren't looking for model consistency of a kid who should be in his draft year out of high school. You are looking for progress and the ability to adjust. So far when he has struggled, he has quickly adjusted and gotten better. There is plenty of time to panic later.

But only for guys on other teams.

We going to talk about how many wins and losses he has next?

The Sox were never getting more than one All-Star unless a bunch of players quit the game.

Cool, so Elias is hugging his prospects. Glad that is over.

The Yankees aren't afraid to make big deals and the Orioles are. What they are willing to offer for Crochet doesn't change either thing.

Cool. Doesn't change anything, but great story bro.

So we are back to Elias being a liar.

That was never said. You are literally making up something.

The Yankees have also not been afraid to make a big deal with prospects.

Yet neither team has him. Worthless post, it can stay where it came from.

Are you just making stuff up?

This rebuild, 100%.

You can't understand the difference between this and "no, we will not trade Holliday"?

They quite literally quoted the guy.
