Jose Abreu

I think Harper will get way more than 325

I read that Cleveland isn't interested in Frazier

I also think Corbin likely winds up there, but wouldn't the bolded have resulted in a fine/warning?

I disagree. It's not hard to convert when you're facing prevent defense as early as the 2nd quarter. He made some nice throws but there's a reason he's 5-47 against teams with winning records.

team control 2019 and 2020, arb years I believe

That said, the streak is over

If you're crazy, I'm insane, because I think a healthy Luis Robert has as high of a ceiling as any prospect in baseball not named Vlad

Wouldn't we be concerned about Martes' elbow too?

This sort of pokes a hole in the generally accepted idea here that Garcia has no trade value. Which I believed as well.

On August 15th- in the article, Rosenthal states that we were aware of his condition at the time of the discussions. Guess that means we would've done it anyway?

I get where you're coming from but I wouldn't put Senzel in the same category as those 3. He's pretty close to the Vlad/Eloy tier of prospects. I don't even know if Madrigal/Gonzalez/Rutherford is a fair offer for him. But I understand why you wouldn't want to trade prospects in the first place.

I think that says more about the posters than it does about Hahn...

Sign Harper, then trade Madrigal, Gonzalez, and Rutherford for Senzel. Future outfield would include 3 of Harper/Eloy/Robert/Basabe/Adolfo/Walker with 1 at DH, and we’d have our third basemen of the future. Not sure if the Reds would accept that though.

Sun-Times: White Sox should choose Bryce Harper over Manny Machado for their fantasy team

I don't expect to see him in the majors until 2020 but I think (if healthy) he's already a better option for CF than Engel. Robert is faster (believe it or not), likely has the same or better range, definitely has a better arm, and most likely would be a better hitter already.

Assuming no FAs, and without factoring in our #3 pick: 1. 3B/2B- Moncada 2. C- Collins (I like putting OBP guys 2nd) 3. DH/LF- Jimenez 4. CF- Robert 5. RF/DH- Adolfo 6. 1B- Abreu 7. 2B- Madrigal 8. SS- Anderson 9. LF/RF- Basabe A lot of RH hitters in a row, Abreu probably won't be there, the 3B will probably be someone currently not in the org, but I could see something like this with guys like Gonzalez and Rutherford just missing the cut. And I put Robert 4th because I think he'll be more of a home run hitter than a speed guy

For what it's worth, if we were to add Bryce and nothing else of note, I'd be shocked. Landing one of these two whales would, in my opinion, coincide with a bunch of Cruz, Brantley, Happ type signings for the short-term.

Yes

By far the best edit I've seen yet.
