There's a dude who would fall off a cliff the moment he signed.

Not rightly sure, but it wouldn't surprise me. I often have MLB.tv on in the background around the house, and his dumbass soundbites are prominetly featured in their repetetive promos. They seriously can't find better talent than him? I don't get it.

Late to the party, but allow me to echo and reiterate the above

I certainly wouldn't consider Baty off the market either, and If the Mets could trade Baty for Robert, I think they would do it in heartbeat. But I don't know what Baty does for the Sox at this stage of the rebuild. He feels like a Vargas type of acquisition, where former prospect status makes one think he has value, but the numbers in the Majors say otherwise. He's had nearly 700 AB's with the Mets, and had he hit consistently, he wouldn't have lost the starting 3B job to Vientos. I also believe he is out of options, so while he has a number of years of control left, he's basically another guy they have to roster or risk losing for nothing.

This is a lot of energy over a dude that was barely with the team and is in no way a notable loss. Wierd.

Only after Jerry takes a dirt nap. It's has-been's and never-were's until then...

Sure, but why even bother if they were going to call up Elko a day or two later?Seems pretty pointless.

They recalled Maton because, why?

There's not enough holy water in the known universe...

WTF is this nonsense? Someone needs their thread-starting privileges revoked...

Pay no mind to what he says. Actions speak louder than his hollow bullshit statements.

Signing Harper and trumping the offer for Wheeler… A perennial MVP candidate and a legit Ace gets them out of the Wild Card round in 2020 and past Houston in 2021.

The money will be spent.. on hot garbage

Sure, it’s easier to believe negative things about the org is after the perpetual shitshow of the past few years. But it’s not the same as applying a broad generalization to the whole fanbase that only applies to a specific subset as you did.

Hyperbolic much? No one is calling Elko the savior of anything. Wanting to move away from Vaughn and give Elko a shot when he's tearing up AAA is perfectly fair.

How incredibly myopic.

Surely the demand for Dalbec will be so low that Boston will be able to sign him to a minor league deal and not need to immediately open a 40 man spot by claiming him.

It will be interesting to see if they keep playing Rojas at his best defensive position or continue being stupid and screwy with the lineups.

And then what happened? 😆

These uni's are hideous, I'm sorry. An all black with red trim and the Bulls style Chicago across the chest would look so much better.

Hopefully wandering into Dan Ryan traffic...

It would take a GM as incompetent as Chris Getz to trade *for* Andrew Vaughn. Poor defensive 1B who have never cracked an .800 OPS and are trending downward for the second consecutive season are in such high demand afterall.

Dodgers burned through his options because he was continually bad after getting multiple opportunities. Let's not pretend that he hasn't gotten ample opportunity. Developement isn't linear so of course he could sustain this, but his track record suggests otherwise.

Getzy signed a a guy who can't his his weight, can't play SS, and whose best spot is 3B as "veteran insurance"... I love me some Josh Rojas but he was always a square peg here with the players already on the 40 man. But lets not question the wisdom (or lack thereof) of our infalable GM...

Polanco is having a nice bounce back year so far at the plate, but can't play the field or hit right handed yet, nor can he play every day as he works his way back to full strength. He was so bad last year though that picking him up as a flip candidate would have been risky.
