Honestly same. I've grown so numb. I don't really care if they bring back Clevinger either.

I'm not even basing it off of his comments. They tried to get him at the deadline. With the connection to Grifol, I think it's likely.

You're not excited about a slow, aging, declining, past his prime catcher?

He was just an opener today.

Bring him back on 2 year deal and stick him on bench while he is recovering.

Nothing says getting more athletic than trading for Salvador Perez.

Obviously they won't pick up the option but what if they could re-work the deal into a 2 year deal that is back-loaded + buyout/option that guarantees him the same amount of money owed? Example: 2024: $3 Million (let him rehab towards end of the year in minors) 2025: $9 Million 2026: $9 Million option/$3 Million buyout Or use the opt out and then pay him a lesser 2 year deal I guess would work too. Edit: with this in mind, maybe bringing him back on some sort of multi-year deal would be great for the team next year. He might be the kind of guy who would rather rest and hang out with the team (at least maybe for the home games) and be in the dugout than sit at home. And then you would have that personality of his on the bench until it's time for him to go work his way back in the minors.

I would wager a large amount of money on him being traded here.

Brought someone in from Royals of course lol

Since the deadline? All year.

How dare you talk about the core like that!

No Sosa?

Worst season a good amount of us has ever seen. It is definitely the worst for me (32 years old here) when you factor in expectations, results, effort, etc.

Fortunately for you, I don't think they will truly be in "tank" mode. I think they'll "try" to compete and add in free agency and then just suck again.

Someone pointed out at one point he hit 8 straight ground balls. The eye test and his numbers say he's been meh.

Probably. He sucks.

Thanks! I hadn't realized that first point. I hope he cuts down on the K's and becomes a legit option, despite being 25 next year.

I noticed that Elko was draft at 23 years old. Anyone know why he was drafted on the older side? Not that it should be held against him if he continues hitting and improves his K rate next year. Is it because he was in college an extra year? I wonder why he was there a 5th year (and I didn't even think you were eligible to pay if you were there beyond a certain amount of years (4)).

Yeah, you definitely have to pick up your half of the option.

This team is going to be bad next year. I don't know if I would care if they brought back Clevinger or Bauer for a year. Though, I guess there would be no upside and no one likely trades for either mid-season. You'd be better off gambling on other guys I guess.

After seeing this, I thought his numbers would look a lot better than they actually are.

Damn. Wanted to see if we could go a full game without a GT.

Round 1 in fantasy playoffs, I need this game to happen since I have Sonny Gray lol need a Win, a QS and some innings.

?

Make that 4 ?
