Squirmin' for Yermin

still out?

Fixed it

This division is still over... BUT, it's annoying to see other teams get much better and us get worse.

I believe he is out for 2022. Edit: I'm thinking Stiever

then you cut him.

I'd totally do this and just shove Hosmer on the bench.

We are arguing that Cueto sucks.. Not that we wouldn't sign him (I obviously would not have).

Great. Keuchel, Cueto and VV on the same roster all probably getting significant innings.. What could go wrong

This is a very good trade for us. McGuire is the clear better defender which is what we need. And Collins hasn't been proven to hit a lick in the majors. He was practically worthless.

I'd rather just try to sneak Adolfo through. Sign any old scrub

no he would not.

Fuck it. I'd do it lol

I'd love Bauer lol

he is not left handed

I would fucking LOVE Paddack. I am a big fan. Plus I wondered if he's more available than he already was after they got Manaea. Is there any interest from us for him?

Cueto is dog shit. Rosenthal I'd be on board with

Plus I still think he'd hang due to needing innings early in the year due to the quick spring training.

Cueto is a dog pile of shit.

Could you fucking imagine.

wowzer... I'd have done this. Only 6 million for Hosmer and you get Paddack? I'd love Paddack as our 5.

Pitching him only 60 innings in the majors made him a lifetime reliever. His clock started (only has 6 years). Year 2, only 80 innings Year 3 120 innings. Year 4 160 innings. We now have two years of a full time starter with no restrictions. This was best case scenario with no injuries (unlikely). Clearly wasn't likely, thus the way we handled him (60 innings in the majors, thus starting his clock) made him a full time reliever. If this was the plan.. It was stupid. Pitching him 60 (if that was his limit), in the minors is a far different scenario.

I am sure Manaea would be. I love Kopech as much as the top guy, but playoffs are a bullpen game and Kopech could be the second best reliever on our team. For this year, he'd make a TON of sense to be out there in the playoffs. I am where you are regarding a package. I'd love to be able to headline with Sheets +.. Would love to avoid Kath.

what is it at?

He shouldn't. I'd rank them: Gray, Bassitt, Manaea actually.

If our plan out of the draft was to only pitch him 50-60 innings his first year, then he shouldn't have been picked.
