Will they still have the bar underneath the section being renovated?

At this point, I'll take mid-March lol

Possibly working from home the next 3 days. Toughing the commute this morning might turn out to be rewarding.

I still think it's a good chance but I don't see it wrapping up until Spring Training starts.

Preach to Machado or Hahn.

As everyone would expect.

I would say probably still possible. The hang up might be the Realmuto deal. Depends on what the Dodgers send over because if Verdugo is sent to the Marlins, they suddenly have a need to keep Joc. Dodgers had a ton of depth but the Kemp/Puig deal helped clear that up. Edit: was Bailey released after that deal? He seems like he would have been a candidate to be flipped with a prospect or two to a rebuilding team with a low payroll and a need for innings and so the Dodgers could cut their payroll.

My guess was: 1a. Machado 1b. Harper (don't think both sign with us) 2. Joc 3. starter 4. probably another RP/possible bench bat

Roads were really bad this morning...wish I would have just worked from home. I figured I would make the trek today knowing I am working from home Wednesday.

Agreed. Without Machado, I don't really want Alonso nor Jay on the team. The only moves I would have liked is the Herrera deal. Colome I think was a good pickup and could likely be flipped for more than a backup catcher at some point if they want to trade him.

Hes a good enough player that should have interest from other clubs (he does). Its not like it's a bad salary dump where only one team is talking with them.

For a long-term piece? Someone with at least say 4 years of control?

Seems like Hahn feels the same.

Which I'm guessing would be nothing. Nothing else left to add in free agency. Let in-house options compete for 5th spot and then you have someone to demote when Cease is ready.

Spring Training is so long as is (especially for position players) it can honestly go up until the point where teams start playing games.

Probably stay the course of the rebuild and not add any pieces. Nothing else to really add.

Move on to what exactly?

This thread needs a new title.

I'm 27 and I feel that way. I just can't get into many new games anymore. I barely touch my PS4 at all. Although I did start and beat the RE2 remake today. It was the perfect day for it.

They might as well have not signed Lowrie and not traded for Cano. That money could have gone towards signing Machado.

I guess yeah. Theres nothing else they could do but up their offer and bid against themselves. Which I wouldn't care about either. Other teams do it. Eventually we will have to too. Might as well with a 26-year old star.

If I had to guess, make an offer and then wait for him to accept.

Like a week ago. Realistically, probably when Spring Training starts.

It means nothing until he is officially signed.

So they could deal Verdugo in a deal for Realmuto, deal Pederson for a cheap, controllable MLB ready RP or two, and then sign Josh Harrison or Marwin Gonzalez, 2 versatile players (we know they love those types of players). Must feel good to be in that kind of position.
