If these guys do actually have a source, the source probably can't divulge that info. Anyway, I DMed the guy and he confirmed that Orlando is in fact Al's Beef/Bartolo

If you actually listen to what he's saying, it really does sound like he has a source.

Talks are fluid, what do you expect?

Really? He's been pretty nails. He had Montas to Yankees, among others.

Speaking of, does anyone know what the deal is without Hosmer?

Same. Fuck this FO and ownership group.

How? Madrigal and Pilkington are not a huge loss. Both kinda suck. I get your argument if you're talking about payroll flexibility.

Does anyone give a fuck about what Yaz and Yoan did before this year?

Bingo

What he did from 2019-21 is irrelevant

I really don't think we'd be interested. Declining velocity, HR prone, bad season, etc.

Which is exactly my point

Of all else were equal and Giolito were on another team, what would you give up for him?

He needs to have an offseason like 2018-19. He's also fine if he can miss bats like he did in April and May while getting a bit of velocity back. I believe in him righting himself but I don't think it's doable mid-season.

Who wants a RHP who's not missing bats, has a 5+ ERA and can barely crack 94 mph?

Disagree. He probably wouldn't even return an interesting prospect right now. Just organizational filler. Giolito has zero value and Lynn has negative value

Idgaf about the total payroll. Who it is spent on matters, and that's on Jerry.

Does he? He's been so bad this year, and the velocity is so down that I doubt he has much value. They can probably get more next year as a rental should he bounce back in performance and velocity

Lol
