Squirmin' for Yermin

making the playoffs two years in a row should NOT be impressive for any organization.

Not long at all because we know we have no shot.

There won't be a next GM.

Quero is where I thought. I imagine Bush really fits more with Cannon and Pallete. Which is nothing to sneeze at

If he can stick at catcher, it will be soooo nice having a catcher who can catch, and also has great plate discipline. We currently have 0 great plate discipline guys. It seems the organization during the draft and this trade is focusing on plate discipline.

This is right.

I didn't know we had Giolito for 5 more years.

Your takes on this trade are crazy. Sure Hahn shouldn't be the one trading, sure it sucks that we are already rebuilding AGAIn... but if you look at this trade alone, how can you be mad about getting a consensus top 100 catching prospect (who is crazy young), and a SP prospect that likely slots in around a Pallette and Cannon?

What is his exit velocity?

Who'd have thunk we'd need this thread again just 3 years later ;(

I find it hard to believe a team with Montgomery and Schultz would be ranked 29th.

I don't understand why.

EXACTLY how i see this as well

So... We coulda just got Madrigal in the 11th round?

Jiminez traded or hurt?

I'd love Dollander at 15. Swing for the fences

No idea.. but that's why I give him a shot

I don't think anyone is advocating he's a build around guy.. But if he could be a 25+ homer guy, with a .800 OPS, he can be a guy we don't need to immediately upgrate.

Burger deserves a longer look. We suck, let him play every day

Just make him a UTL when he comes back. He doesn't deserve full time 3B.

Burn it down now.. Less time for an unexpected injury and more time for losses that'll better our draft position.

It was CRAZY to not offer Rodon the QO.. However, the two pitchers didn't have the same situation. Rodon had his first good and healthy year ever, and Gio had a few strong years. One is certainly an easier decision.

I wonder if the DBacks will try to make any moves to actually contend this year or if they'll just run it out without major additions since they're "a year early".. If they do, Giolito makes a ton of sense, along with some bullpen arms.

Robert at least has like 5 years or something. Cease would be selling low and idk what Kopech gets you back, and you still need some arms. I'd hold onto all 3 unless someone blew your socks off (not likely)

It makes no sense to not sell.
