  1. Back to the topic, I do think Crochet gets traded now (I didn't before). The guy is going to get a ton of interest from teams from now to the deadline.  

    If SD wants him, I think they would have to part with Merrill.  Something like Crochet and Pham for Merrill, Snelling, De Vries, and Kemp would entice me

     

  2. When the kids start coming up is when I want Grifol gone.  He's fine now because outside of Nastrini, Sosa, Leasure, Lee and Colas.  There's nothing that is meaningful for the future (I think Crochet gets traded).  Let him continue to embarrass this franchise and when the kids are ready, that's when you fire him.  Might be in August, might be next year.

    I hate to use Ricky as an example, but maybe getting someone who is more in tune with teaching is the right move.  In his 200 plus games here, I can't think of a single player that has made progress at making themselves a higher baseball IQ player.  We still have the same mistakes being made, the some cutoffs being missed, the same baserunning blunders, signs being missed etc.  I can't say Pedro is the problem, but I sure can't say he isn't.

    During this whole "championship window", Ricky Renteria blows TLR and Grifol out of the water.  

  4. This dude might be one of the dumbest baseball people I have ever seen.  He loves bad baseball players.  Let him finish 2024 and fire him into the sun next year.

  5. These are the packages I would accept from teams that are interested in Cease:

    Reds: Lowder, Petty, Jorge, Starla (I loved this ask from Getz)

    Braves: Kelenic, Grissom, AJSS, and Waldrep

    Orioles: Cowser/Kjerstad, Mayo, Beavers

    Dodgers: Rushing, Pages, De Paula, and Bruns

    To me, Petty is younger than Lowder, further along in the system, and he thoroughly dominated last year at A+ and a little AA, albeit only 60 innings. Don't think Lowder has even thrown a professional pitch. 

     

    Lowder is a stud.  Him and Petty in the same deal ++ would be a great Cease trade.

    this guy nailed it.

     

    That's not it at all.  Every MLB insider has said the Sox will get a haul because of his durability, pitch ability, and contract status.

    Bennett K has always and will always be a moron.  That dude sucks

    ATL probably isn't going to trade Smith-Sharver. I think they are planning on having him in the rotation. Past that it's Waldrep who looks like he could be great but is a few years off and can't be the centerpiece. Past that? No one who's been past High A. Just not enough there imo, especially with all pitchers. 

    Then Atlanta isn't getting Cease.  If they want Cease, Smith-Sharver has to be in the deal unless they include one of their position players currently on the MLB roster and they aren't going to do that.  

  9. Soroka and Shuster will be in the rotation next year.

    Lopez will be the starting 2B.  Shewmake could be the starting SS to start the season too.  

    Gowens.  If he does well, should be a fast riser through the system.

    I'm fine with the trade.  No bullpen piece during a rebuild should be making over 5 million anyway.  Let the kids give it a go.  

     

    Now go trade Cease and Eloy
