I still pay for internet but there was no world for me where Comcast Cable was cheaper than Youtube TV while also paying for Netflix, HBO, Prime and Disney as well etc.

Oh gotcha. There's no reason for anyone to pay for Comcast cable anymore so I didn't realize that. Don't know why anyone would willingly do that in 2025.

Where is the $500 per year number coming from? The app is $30 monthly.

I was totally against this but Bannister did a great job elaborating on their plan. It makes sense.

He was on their Area Codes Team in high school. Threy know him well as a Wisconsin prep. I'm not a fan of taking a second baseman though and he hasn't done well with wood bats.

Which college?

I’m just not sure they’ll take a non shortstop here. Hopefully Carlson falls to them.

Yep. I’m pretty surprised by this but it’s fun. Yes. It’s basically 13 pitchers and 13 position players for everyone now.

He wasn’t promoted too quickly

There’s no truth to any of that. Post reputable sources.

Not anywhere close to what they’d make as a first rounder.

That’s who I mocked. A legit shortstop who can hit and really run. Not many of those guys in this class.

Here’s my mock draft 1.0 for FutureSox: https://www.futuresox.net/2025/06/02/2025-major-league-baseball-mock-draft/

That was the best offer they had for Cease by a lot too. Should they have waited on that one?

It wasn't what was right though. Waiting made sense. It hasn't worked out.

Chris Getz would've been eviscerated if he traded Robert in his first winter on the job. They wouldn't have gotten close to enough. It made sense to wait. It hasn't worked out.

Disagree. What do you think someone gives up for 4 years of Luis Robert after a 5 WAR season? More than they'd give up now for sure but I doubt it would've been enough to not wait.

Houston is too imo. I'd still prefer a shortstop.

I have Daniel Pierce in my mock draft this week. Billy Carlson would be a dream scenario. I wonder if they’d go overslot to float him down.

Not possible. He has no options. This was just never realistic unfortunately. Chris Getz in his first offseason as GM wasn’t going to be able to get value for 4 years of Luis Robert coming off a career year. It is unfortunate though.

He’s a first baseman imo and hits right handed. He needs to absolutely mash or he’s probably just nothing unfortunately.

I don’t trust any hitters from Wake Forest. Houston will stay at shortstop but I just don’t think he’ll impactful offensively. They did this in 2023 already. Take a prep hitter unless someone falls.

Barring someone falling, I wouldn’t be surprised to see $11 million spent on top 3 picks. $6 million at 11, $3 million at 44 and $2 million at 76.

I meant that he can really hit but can't play shortstop

Can he really hit but won’t play shortstop
