LOL ?

Either way things take time.

Than again, it’s still early in the offseason. I just don’t believe the rumor about a Thanksgiving deadline for Springer or bust from Not Steve Cishek. These things take a while to play out.

I wouldn’t like to be in a bidding war with them. If that’s the case I would shift towards JBJ or Pederson.

They will sign players but it’s a matter of when. It’s still relatively early in the offseason. The non tender deadline is coming up next week as well and there should be plenty of players added to the market so we shall see.

I’m a little worried about Eloy in LF. He gets injured quite a bit so moving him to DH full time would not be a bad thing and say if we go out and sign either Colas or Cespedes as well than losing Vaughn for a top of the rotation pitcher, isn’t going to necessarily hurt the team long term but I would prefer them to trade Kopech if they had a choice between the two.

It doesn’t mean that he will trade them. It’s a good possibility he already has a read on the market and already knows how it’s going to play out.

I don’t know if you remember from the presser when Hahn mentioned that they are going to explore the market and see what’s out there. The information or the tweets that are out there is a good indication that this is what’s happening. It can be just all pure speculation too but I’m getting the sense that all of this is what Hahn told us he was going to do.

From what Hahn said in the end of the year presser their window is open now but I see your point of view. Quite frankly, I would prefer them to sign a right fielder and a pitcher for the back end of the rotation in free agency then trade for a top of the rotation pitcher after they fill those holes. Possibly for Lynn. People are high on Musgrove but I don’t see him being a top of the rotation pitcher.

Than we’re not going to outcompete against the Dodgers for World Series Championships. I thought that’s what the point of this rebuild was, to win championships. I’m not saying we should give up all of our top guys but atleast one or two of them to get a player back that will help us achieve that goal of winning championships.

If they sign Springer, I don’t think we’re going to be trading for Snell. I think it will be either Lynn, or Darvish. I know a lot of people are high on Musgrove but there are better backend SP’s on the market that we can sign.

So you think they will stay pat this offseason?

We are already a playoff team constructed. The window is open now to win championships.

It sounds like they are going down the trade route for SP’s and prioritizing RF for free agency. That can change though.
