I think I would prefer to build around Arroyo. Sucks they dealt that draft pick and Sirota in the Lux deal.

Love it…he’s definitely trending in the right direction haha

Collier is 91 and Arroyo is 92 for those who don’t know. Get those 2 and let them keep their top 3. Obviously not possible now but they can be interested again later.

Yeah, I can also see that. Kinda like the Cease route

I’m more thinking he’ll end up on the IL in April or May and miss significant time…again

Yeah. I just think if you get the two top guys you want (no matter who it is because it’s likely 2 position players), might as well eat some of the money. I think he’s kind of risky to carry into the season. Just be done with it.

He’s not their #1 prospect. MLB has him as 5th.

That's how I feel. He's only making $15M this year. Pay half that. It's not much.

I wonder how much. Hypothetically, I would do it since his value is down and our payroll is low anyway.

I have faith in the lefties (Schultz and Smith) and some other arms. Don't really have a lot of faith on the position player side.

Jake Cousins did as well (a guy we traded to them during Spring Training).

To be fair, Colson's 2024 has taken a lot of joy out of the Colson hype

Athletics. Oakland was dropped from the name.

Yeah I saw that they were interested earlier in the offseason but then looked at his medicals. Add the fact he got hurt playing Winter Ball....

If we keep repeating how the past 30+ years have gone, no dominance

Yeah I feel like any of the other 4 teams could win the division and it wouldn’t be shocking.

I can't imagine myself going to more than 1 game this year: Opening Day. I usually go for free with my uncle. Won't spend a single penny inside the park though. Take the Metra, meetup with my buddy's big tailgate they do every year and eat and drink outside and then just sober up during the game.

If they get Cease, then there really was no point in the Boyd signing.

It actually sounds ridiculous

Minor league deal

I hope they do it

I enjoyed it.

Phew well thank god we now have your opinion. Nor care what you think.

So being a two-way player, he has to basically rehab in the majors correct?

Especially when they were pedaling this “we’re gonna focus and be better defensively this year” (they weren’t)
