Yeah...I just have to watch some baseball.

Can we get some sad and even cry face emojis to reflect how we really feel?

Not buying anything this year.

How much is MiLB TV?

He's not going to be able to say anything that doesn't make him look like an asshat.

Stand your ground MLBPA. This fucking blows.

At this rate, we may see a Crosstown Classic Opening Day.

Honestly it feels that way.

Yeah what is it, a couple mill a team?

Kemp

And that is why there is still room for skepticism this gets done today.

Yeah the 4 and 5 are going to have question marks for sure. I'm just not sure where you are going to plug in another guaranteed starter and make it work.

Agreed.

There's also the possibility of the fringe teams being more willing to being buyers than sellers at the deadline.

Looking into it now (the past 5 years not counting 2020), it really varies. 3 teams .500 or better would have missed the playoffs last year under the 12 team format, 4 in 2019 and 2018, 2017 would be a wash (only 5 teams .500 or better in the AL somehow lol), and then 4 again in 2016. Of course, there are a lot of high 70/80 win teams that might have fizzled at the end or just barely got beat out by other teams that made it in I guess.

Yeah I’m thinking HFA through first round, no days off is fine.

Yeah, there is definitely still time for that.

I'm open to him up mags isn't a fan.

I'm open to a ton of possibilities at 2B as long as they lock up a real RF and not someone like Joc Pederson haha if that happens then I'd lean more offense at 2B.

Exactly.

Bad defensively.

I read an article last week about how Brad Miller is a forgotten about free agent. Doesn't really have an every day position and can't hit lefties but looking at his stats, he looked like he was decent at 2B. Could probably platoon him and Leury if you actually want someone who can hit (39 bombs over his last 678 plate appearances). But definitely don't play him against lefties haha

Yeah it's pretty bad. I'm just aiming for defense at that position now. And honestly might as well have just signed Yolmer to a minor league deal for depth.

The Stove is about to be blazing!

A writer in an MLBTR article (I'll try to find it) seemed to indicate that anyone unsigned would fall under the new CBA rules but we shall see. I guess they could agree that it would be fair to start next offseason.
