Coming around to roll the dice with the new defense and get a 25-30% better return at the deadline. It’s like trading Dak Prescott, Tua, Trevor Lawrence or even Justin Fields (as of this week) when we believe Dylan’s truly an elite guy in the right situation and should be properly valued as one of the top ten out of 150 instead of merely top 25-30% or whatever. Orioles fans are acting like he is Kirk Cousins.

No...teaching classes. Just read articles online.

They did an excellent job of stubbornly refusing to promote him regardless of the mess/es in the Sox outfield last year...and his Charlotte numbers. A lot like the year Alcides Escobar threw a fit because they wouldn't bring him up to the big league club well after his glory days in KC.

Getz was definitely prepared to hit the ground running. We will see what happens when the ground hits back on his "junkyard" collection.

Orioles' attacks brought out a little feistiness from you...

Harbaugh and Vrabel have to be way up there. McVay should be Coach of the Year but won't.

Never saw Ptac with that kind of a take for a coach who consistently made the playoffs in KC, only to almost always end in predictable heartbreak. Two runs in SD too.

The problem is Grifol makes Ventura Bevington and TLR almost palatable. At least 2012 Ventura after the Ozzie exit madness, and not the indifferent collapsing clubhouse version.

Only seven years older than Anderson playing a MUCH more demanding position that chewed up and spit out Grandal and numerous others. Maldonado would have been fine for that price at 32-33.

See White Sox fans and Renteria. Be careful what you wish for.

Two OU guys with completely opposite trajectories. TB actually finished better than Brady's record last year and had to win every single game down the stretch like BUFF.

Have no idea where they go next season...Fields would be yet another possibility. Winston maybe. Can't see how Pickett can possibly reassert himself after everything that's gone down this season. Mason Rudolph is less of a long-term plan than probably every QB in the league but O'Connell, perhaps Howell and Ridder. They have to get the ball to Pickens more often, somehow.

Based on 2023 big league results mostly?

Daniels is so thin...have to worry about his durability just like with Young and Kyler Murray.

Tomlin should bolt due to lack of appreciation. Those three QBs don't belong anywhere near the postseason. Meanwhile Bills seven consecutive wins now and will collide with Baltimore at some point...seems to be down to those two and KC.

You haven't counted SSHM posts/lists yet?? That should keep you busy for the remainder of the winter.

Still bitter over Kimbrel being passed off to them...

Burdi too. KW started that nonsense with Royce Ring and Aaron Poreda. Joins the crowd of numerous players we likely get nothing back in return for...or negative returns. Rodon Anderson Grandal Pollock/Kimbrel Hendriks etc. Almost every first rounder other than Burger/Sale. Likely Jimenez/Moncada. Cease due to the Sports Guy/Elias Curse.

We can trade 2000 James Baldwin and 2003 Danny Wright to Baltimore for Ortiz... All winning players.

And open up a yoga/meditation studio right across from the Boog Powell BBQ.

The Royals of post 2015 were definitely not City Champs...let alone Missouri State champs.

Officially confirmed announcements presumably…physicals cleared, etc.

When they advance to High A, fans can start to actually get excited...

Insane this article was TEN years ago...and Wilder Saga still has a shadow over the DR seemingly. "(Marco) has a feel for what we need, said Del Matthews, assistant director of player development and scouting. Weve had recent success, but it was definitely needed. With the new rule changes in the basic agreement it kind of made it an even playing field for everybody and it was a great opportunity for us to ramp up our efforts and hopefully well see some fruit in a couple of years. Laumann believes international production will help the team in the amateur draft in terms of creativity. In years past, because the organization needed to add bodies the international program didnt produce, Laumann was forced to find players to fill holes instead of taking risks on higher potential draftees." ..... "After he spent the last 14 months assessing an international department that has produced one player over the past decade, Marco Paddy, the special assistant to the general manager in international operations, will add five new scouts. The amateur scouting department will also add two new scouts. While hes happy for the additional bodies in his department, amateur scouting director Doug Laumann is more pleased with the international hires. Rick Hahn last week described a department, which will add two scouts in the Dominican Republic, one in Mexico, one in Venezuela and another to cover Curacao and other areas, as bare bones." Profar is Curacao...but someone is really doing a lot of footwork in Venezuela, that was a barren wasteland for the Sox even when Ozzie and Freddy Garcia and their families ruled the Sox roost from 2003-2011...dating back further to Magglio Ordonez and obviously legends Aparicio and Carrasquel.
