Squirmin' for Yermin

Tatis and Machado, yes. Plus they're in the same spot as us so it is indeed fun to compare the two.

fun fact: Rich Hill pitches more innings than Garret Richards

Give me Rich Hill for a 1/3 of the cost of Richards. Quintana would be my #1 though. Richards #million

This didn't convince me one bit. Because Kopech won't pitch until July if lucky. And I don't want to count on both being good right away. Also.. this doesn't mention his likelihood of being hurt,

Usually I can be warmed up into any signing.. But so far no one has convinced me on Richards. Sure, he has some potential still. But it also is clear he hasn't pitched more than 70ish innings since 2015.. That's 5 years ago. This appears to be a trend more than a fluke.. This is the opposite guy we need as our filler. We need someone to take innings.

yes

Don't you think he'd want to unofficially agree so that he can play in their leagues and training sites?

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO! You assume he has a deal in place with someone?

Sadly, idk if we can count on Richards to go that long.. but yes haha

Yeah, I too don't get Richards.. We need someone who can give innings, he, unfortunantely cannot.

Go buy him some flowers why don't ya.

To be fair we have a thread about just about everyone.. WEEE!

I did it! Mom, I fucking did it.

This would have been nice.

I always thought this. 1 year for 12-15 seems right.. Minor just got 11.

Strange he is talking about Cruz.

Whoever this writer is is stupid. Dom Smith over Alonso? I stopped reading after that.

Here is the trade: White Sox Get: Corbin Burnes Omar Narvaez Brewers Get: Nick Madrigal Zack Collins Jonathan Stiever Codi Heuer

Vaughn yes, Collins no. But I have no problem giving Vaughn time in the minors.

I think Narvaez and Vogelbach could each be 2nd pieces received from Brewers.

The question is do the Brewers think they can realistically contend for a NL crown, if not, and they too are concerned about Burnes ability to throw 200 innings, it could make sense to sell "high".. Or at least see what the offers are.

I honestly would far prefer trading Cease than Kelley.. I get I'm the lone guy here on that though. I'd love to work as hard as possible around dealing him

MIC DROP

He has that much left?! ewww... I was hoping just two years or so

IF we trade for a controllable starter, without trading Kopech or Cease, I do not get the need to extend Lynn.. Just let it play out. If Cease sucks again, you extend him. If Cease is good, you pass.
