In the next 30 minutes.

It's not based on this story. Pal is someone on this board who has connections. This story is one where we could all agree with TA to be honest.

I've been wondering what their rock bottom is before they finally have to make changes. This has to be it right?

Sucks, not good defensively, old, going to be a free agent, clubhouse altercation....time to go.

Yeah I agree with TA here. f*** Grandal. Send his ass home.

I thought the same recently but not sure he wants to do that full time instead of his TV gig.

Trying to look now. Mostly looking at guys with options as well. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/04/2024-25-mlb-free-agents.html

Defending against this is really something.

Everyone who leaves has something to say about the culture here. Hell, on Chuck’s podcast, he has said multiple times that current guys rip the culture lol

Yeah I’m thinking it is most likely worth it. Sad it has come to this. I’m one of the idiots saying at the beginning of the year that he could easily bounce back a bit to what he once was, even going into this season. Boy was I (and others) wrong.

With nothing in free agency, unless you make a trade for a third baseman in the off-season, you kinda need to hang onto Moncada. At least for early in the year. Trading him, you probably have to pay at least half of what he is owed between his 2024 salary and buyout.

Moncada and Eloy isn't exactly breaking news either.

Yep. Should have been the bolded. Not his fault he only had one starter (ok, 1.5 tops).

Bump

Talking to guys in the clubhouse…it’s not farfetched that someone else confirmed it’s been going on longer.

Sosa should be playing every day rest of season over Andrus. Lee when he is ready should also be here.

The most passion and fight this team has shown all year.

Moncada out due to back.

Andrus and Grandal have to go. Free agents at the end of the year. Just call up Sosa and Perez (and send him back when Lee is ready).

Good move but this defense isn’t going to help him much.

Below average K rate. High ground ball rate. What can go wrong with this defense?

I give them credit for admitting they needed to rebuild. That’s about it.

Yeah, I'd be ok with that. Somehow re-work the contract where they have him 2 years (missing all of the first year), having him in 2025, and then paying some in the deferral for x amount of years later. Edit: just saw Lip's post so nvm.

He's loyal to a fault. At some point, results have to matter and heads have to roll.

Robert to continue hitting, Anderson and Cease to raise potential trade value in the off-season, Lee, Sosa (when they are here) and other youngsters to take step forward, for a top 3 pick I guess.
