The circle, the circle of life....

And was gone almost as quickly.

For the record, of all players, I think the pen might surprise to the upside of the trade market. I think Steven Wilson finally gets moved for something (not great, but OK) Also, put on the record for Altavilla moving as well.

I have seen worse Ideas than putting Houser and Robert together to push us up a prospect level.

This is my expectation.

Someone has expectations for Josh Rojas trade market?

Also really hoping to see some break out MiLB seasons from guys who weren't already super highly thought of, or guys who had been trending down after big expectations. Definitely not seeing any real darkhorse breakouts to any extent.

If you save $1.5m, that is a pretty darned good extra HS player, at least. Especially if they also tried to get some comp balance picks too, they could push a $20 million draft budget.

No. That only applies to 2 years in the top 6 for some, or 3 years in a row for others

Better be careful or the thought police will stop you and aggressive lecture you.

Then why was he always swearing about quants?

Wasn't the whole fight before that the quants were making picks instead of the scouts?

So we aren't supposed to care about the state of the team today, but still be upset from stuff from like 30-40 years ago? Weird flex.

This is demonstrably false around baseball. Top players demand more money.

Do you have guys we don't have to work on? We aren't very good there.

Poor Getz has to sell his own ineptitude to get Robert sold high.

Kinda surprised they didn't try a last round HS guy.

We ride this roller coaster every deadline about how 87 teams are interested, and they might be willing to give up these great prospects, then we get a disappointing return which early on is justified because this injured guy will come back and someone will fix the other slumping guy, before eventually being rejustified that we should have expected a crappy return all along.

EAT THE FUCKING MONEY!!!

Plot twist, Chris Getz is old and wise.

I wonder what demographic group this post is aimed at...

Front office for a certain baseball team.

Your point was apt in the pre draft caps days. Today it does not work like that. It is quite literally impossible to take the best possible player with each pick, or you will be over the draft caps and forfeit draft picks in future drafts. They days where you can spend whatever you want are over. if you don't have sacrifice picks you don't get overslot deals either.

I didn't say anything good or bad about it, I am just trying to understand what you were saying about it.

When are the 2026 picks known enough to be available to be traded?
