Haha if they weren't going to do it when Harper was there for the taking, they won't do it now.

I saw it as more of an opportunity to keep him fresh. Him starting a game on Friday and going deep wouldn't effect him going an inning on Tuesday (for All-Star game). Guys throw in between starts. That's all it would have been.

Was going to say, unless him leaving early is because of an injury, I don't think this one start is going (whether it's 2 innings or 6 innings) is going to budge his value in either direction.

$560M, 14 years. Get him for his age 26-39 seasons at $40M a year. /green

Let's get nuts...sign Juan Soto. Edit: wild to me that he is younger than Oscar Colas and Chris Getz favorites Dominic Fletcher and Zach DeLoach.

Agreed on Robert.

I see the O's going for Fedde instead of trading their better prospects (Holliday, Kjerstad, Basallo, Mayo, etc) for Crochet. Something like Norby, Beavers, and another piece or two feels right.

Probably Chris Getz lol

He isn’t an upgrade on the Astros. Unless they think the short porch will help him.

I really don’t believe Benintendi is going anywhere. They can’t be that stupid to actually attach with Crochet or Robert can they?

Rare, but not as rare as Jerry Reinsdorf signing players at market value I guess haha

Can just sign him when he's a free agent and do that anyway.

Did we get this guy for Middleton?

Better question: how much is Jerry willing to pay?

There’s no reason they can’t try to sign Crochet when he is a free agent. This team will not be very good the next 2 years. He seems to want to bet on himself. Unless he’s taking a team friendly deal now (he’s not) cash in on him now and try to get some long term help. Maybe their philosophy (aka possible new owner haha) on signing pitchers will be different then.

I actually originally had Vaughn in the post but then compared him to France and realized he’s not really an upgrade so I took him out lol

Would be fine with me.

Yep sell now, off-season at the absolute latest.

Since Seattle needs help on offense, maybe we can package DeJong or Pham, someone with Robert. Neither of those two are bringing back anything of significance by themselves anyway. Looks like everyone in their infield is hitting terribly. Edit: and their outfield is bad ha Pham works in a platoon with Raley.

Sell sell sell sell sell sell

Probably Dodgers but I and probably most of us would take it.

They got 3 guys coming up/off IL.

Yeah Glasnow is coming back and so is Kershaw off 60-day IL) Thursday. Also, River Ryan is making a start tonight being called up.

No. I will gladly cash my winnings now.

Is this draft expected to be great where picking 10th in the first round but first in every other round wouldn’t be as terrible as it feels picking 10th instead of 1st?
