I don't think so either, but maybe in May or June like they did to Danks.

Well that worked out, not that it would have mattered if he was claimed.

Agreed. Especially if it allows them to DH Grandal more often that first month. More rest early.

Tony LaRussa: hold my beer

My guess is because there were other options to sign and trade for at the time. Could be wrong though.

They might have gotten the better player from LA to be honest.

Get another starter and let’s fuck.

Depends on what they give up for him.

Well I always thought it made sense with Crochet going into the Kopech random spot start/multi-inning/not quite a long reliever role he seemed to be in last year.

Yeah haha I was in favor of them signing another lefty this off-season. At least Sousa is having a good spring.

Agreed. We'll probably still see Vaughn in RF occasionally if they want to give Pollock rest at DH every now and then.

What is your point exactly? I thought they wouldn't get someone as good as Pollock in a deal for Kimbrel and they did...so I'm happy about it...those posts support this claim haha

I'll be honest, I thought he was always moveable but not for someone this good. And without eating any money. I'll eat that crow.

I like that Pollock has the option for next year too.

I've been saying it as well. A lot have been.

Expect the worst. Hope for the best.

I just mixed up the signing in my head. Better than the 3/$24 mill they gave Graveman.

There were definitely better guys available at better deals than Kelly…

How is that name pronounced? Is it Sou-suh?

He's clearly an insider.

Nope.

This. You can't do sign and trades in baseball. Can't trade someone you just signed until like June like you said. Also, as Jimmy said, the Mets want the draft pick.

Just Padres it seems.
