Is he the guy with the laugh?

I think I agree with Bmags though. I bet Soxtalk would hate a package like the one we are talking through. It lacks that immediate position player headliner. But in Hampton you get a not too far off mid rotation type, then two up the middle infielders who are far away but high upside. One of them super tooled up in Arias who has star potential. Then give me Lalane if possible. I understand why the risk averse would prefer a different player mix, but I would be excited about the depth added to the farm and the upside.

I'd be stoked for a return like that. If I could swap out Beeter for Lalane I'd be over the moon. The Yankees farm is deep. I think they match up with the Sox very well.

I would really love to acquire Arias in a Yankees deal. Really into Lombard too.

You mean the bonus board? It's just a blurb on Herrera.

Konnor Griffin sure seems to slot into that new philosophy. Here's hoping. Dude sounds like a toolbox.

Yea. I like our posters for the most part, but some of them are being petulant meatballs. You should see them in gamethreads. ?

Boston/NY/Baltimore seem like some pretty good suitors to me.

Yankees/Boston bidding war would be fantastic. Orioles you want in?

The hell.

I just realized how little homie has pitched the last two seasons.

I like how we could be having some interesting conversations about Yankees prospects/trade proposals, yet we are locked onto the brain melting topic of Nick fucking Madrigal.

Sure seems like the Yankees could put together a pretty interesting package. I particularly would love getting both Arias and Lombard in a return as second/third pieces. Young up the middle guys with solid toolsets. Arias sure sounds like he has star upside as well. I'm very intrigued.

I'm way into Roderick Arias if the Yankees are involved.

I don't know why you hold onto Robert at this point.

I'm reading this as a Cease deal will likely occur with LA if Yamamoto doesn't sign there.

While I too would prefer a position player driven deal, I feel like you need to maximize the return on Cease regardless of the prospect mix. If Atlanta is willing to overwhelm you with quality pitching prospects so be it. But then again I'm pretty into AJSS, Waldrep, and Murphy. I also come back to Baltimore prospect hugging. There's a good chance the Orioles just aren't willing to trade the prospects that make sense in a Cease return. Even though they match up so well on paper doesn't mean Baltimore is a willing participant. It takes two to tango.

I'll take one Wyatt Langford please.

I actually really like Jett Williams and Drew Gilbert. I also wanted Colin Houck from last year's draft class. Always wondered about makeup concerns with Jett & Gilbert though.
