I don’t want to win the World Series either.

I figured it was just a mercy break. What haven’t we exhausted?

Mercy. Ok now if Leury was free, like the league minimum, how many teams want him to occupy a spot? i would say the shitty rebuilding teams would rather try their young guys or try to catch lightning in a bottle on some 25-29 yr old post-hype, burger-type guys maybe figuring something out. Does a championship club want him as swiss-army depth after last year? i dont know the answer and that's bad.

I thought it was going to happen last year but this year we find out we have a Badass farm beyond Colson and Corlas

But what team would want the Leury side of that dump? Nobody has THAT much pitching

Eminor nails it. I’ve been one of the biggest apologists/supporters forever. They finally broke me this year and I think it’s like you say: The choices made are just sooo bad the only conclusion I can come to is maybe these guys really don’t have what it takes to compete with other front offices. There’s time to fix it but a few years has been lost. I’ve gone from excited to skeptical about this window that should have been a home run.

What does the trade simulator say?

You also don’t want whatever we’ve had in LF either. Eloy being unplayable in LF is a major bummer

If you know then you know. If you don’t, then you make comments like this. It’s that simple.

Yea. This is closer to the team that SHOULD be on the field to see what they’ve built here. I think Rodon walking was a huge mistake. Competing shouldn’t be the goal. Domination is what it looked like we were building

And people will continue to say this makes sense somehow

Giolito also sat 95-96 and touched 97 then

You gotta figure his friends call him Corly

If Corly flops to the point of being unplayable, can we just address it at the deadline?

I’m not saying you’re wrong cuz I don’t know, but this seems like quite a leap from the info out there.

I’m all for Corlas earning the RF spot in camp, but I imagine they’ll want to make it look like a competition though. So who does he compete against? Profar maybe? Engel? Somebody ok becoming the backup/starter. That’s a tough spot to fill

We’re not. Without even checking most teams probably have a low OPS 2B. We happen to have 2-3 pretty darn good young guys to try there. This is a position we should not be spending money on IMO

Not gonna lie, I like a good Corlas. Definitely pronounced CORE-liss. Got a Viciendo vibe but better

It seems pretty obvious they aren’t allowed to sign premium players to premium contracts though, right?

That TLR taint follows a man

I’d be okay with new Dickman at 2B. Will he be 100% ready for camp? Old Dickman no way.

The FO had a big win today. Ima let them have it

Well summarized. They did do good here. I would have bet everything on Gallo here. Thank the Lord

I forget what I was looking into but a few years ago I was on the Red Sox boards and I couldn’t figure out what all the 10Ds were for and then I was like “oh yea who the f would wanna type his name more than once” ?

Sign Swanson and trade TA for a fucking haul? That would regrab my interest Jerry, Rick & Kenny. That’s a full balls move.
