Bob Sacamano

Now how far is the stadium from the airport?!

Fixed. And even more exciting! The KBO MVP!

Need him to go to the Jays. Then we need the Yankees to land one of the Japanese starters and for Boston to wakeup and make couple additions. Put a little more pressure on the O's.

Merchandise and ticket sales ?

I think the emphasis is more on being the only team in the country whereas California has 5.

They did lose 101 trying to compete so…

Pretty sure it leaked at the beginning of the week that he met with Toronto though.

He didn’t imply that.

He should just go back to the number he wore in Japan.

He signed with the Nationals yesterday

That Braves one somehow looks like the most unrealistic of the group. A guy with 5 years of control, a guy with 6 years of control, AND 2 top 100 prospects?

Posted because maybe relevant I guess. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/david-rubenstein-reportedly-in-talks-to-acquire-baltimore-orioles.html

Not disagreeing just saying they can put together a strong offer mixed with position players and arms.

Lowder Arroyo then. Point is, they can put together a strong offer.

I'm even looking at some names in the 10-20 and 20-30 range as third and fourth pieces. Admittedly, looking more at left handed hitting OFs like Hector Rodriguez.

Just realized Arroyo also wasn't named. Man, so deep.

What about Lowder or whatever his name is the Sox asked for yesterday.

And Steer even. Though I think he is moving to the OF. India probably gets traded somewhere too.

We all know. Were reacting to the site’s insiders posts indicating interest.

Rather have Maldonado on a 1 year cheap deal to be a backup than trade for Salvador Perez.

Have you heard of any interest in Whit?

Harold saying “no s%*#” implies interest (assuming Harold does have sources). No one would blame you if you didn’t believe he has sources though. I’m skeptical myself.

Right. If only one or two teams could pay it, why would those one or two teams even pay that much if there aren't many competitors. Just hold at least another year/year and a half and see if there could be some sort of quick turn around where things go better in 2025 somehow. Can still trade him then. For now, we will still need a reason to watch and he's about it.

Exist in this weird purgatory until Jerry sells the team or dies.

I don't think getting 2 top 100 prospects (or 1 and then another guy just outside the top 100), another organizational prospect in the 11-20 range, and possibly a 4th in the 20-30 range is necessarily a "monster return." This is probably close to what I would expect. If they do better than that, great. I will admit, the proposals that have the O's sending 3 guys in the top 100 seem like a bit much.
