Foul Territory podcast brought up the question: does the MLB need a winter trade deadline? Thoughts?

Yes

Yeah there’s plenty of guys that do both but get drafted one way.

I know they have the open 40-man spot now and can DFA someone before Rule 5 draft but this probably won’t even be official until after the draft, right? Also, does anyone know what time that draft is?

I was just looking into him now. Is that why he's only listed as a pitcher and DH rather than another position?

Well that's good enough for me.

I would probably keep Kopech in rotation, at least to start and maybe use Shuster as depth since he has options (first man up after a trade or Kopech gets bumped to pen). Also start Nastrini in minors with Touki just holding down a spot.

Oh sadly, I know.

Also, please pull a Merrill Kelly.

Now let’s sign Frankie Montas to like a 1 year, $13M deal and call the rotation adds complete (other than MiLB deals).

Boring winter meetings all around the game so far.

This part is irrelevant because we fuckin sucked. What were his other numbers like? Edit: scratch that. it's amazing we won 8 games

Yeah at this point. Oops, already filled a couple holes with Paul DeJong, Mike Soroka, and possibly Erick Fedde. Fill the rest of the team with high AAV 1-2 year deals.

Soooooo someone with knowledge provide some names of your top 5 favorite guys lol

And he'll end up living past 100.

Come on Reds! Time to deal for Cease now that you can help replenish with a high draft pick.

Couldn't help but laugh going from 4th (pre-draft) to 5th, even with Royals going 3rd to 6th lol

lol that's fair

I know I’m slightly confused lol

I feel like the rest of the ALE showing a pulse would help. I now hope Ohtani lands in Toronto and Soto and the Japanese pitcher end up in New York.

40-man currently at 39.

Ooh nice pull with Linebring. Toss Octavio Dotel in the discussion as well. I definitely should have added Craig Kimbrel.

He was inconsistent for sure. Down year, then good year, then down year again. I also remember multiple instances of him dropping routine flyballs. Nvm, I might have just talked him into my honorable mentions.

If Getz were to fill out a list, it would be players currently on the team based on his comments a few weeks ago haha

Didn't Orioles try that strategy by trading for Jack Flaherty? lol
