LOL, are you serious.

This is Jerry we are talking about, the miser who sent gave up international slot money (not actual money, the right to spend) for Texas to eat Welington’s option buyout.

Saved $1.25M when combined with the earlier Nate Jones deal.

Lay off the weed.

I don't believe you can trade international money this year.  Yes I agree with you other than that though.

    Hahn- I'd like to talk to you about Kris Bryant's availability. Cubs- Just pay his salary, we don't want anything else at all of value.  Hahn- I'd like to talk to you about Joc Pederson's av

    How is trading Crochet for Kris Bryant pushing all the Sox chips in??? Crochet is a ticking time bomb injury wise. The kid is also years away from joining the starting rotation.I would trade him for B

I can't stand Keuchel. I'd love to see him traded.

You'd have to pay at least 30-40% of his remaining salary...and come to an agreement about the option year/incentives compensation for 2023.

I wonder if Ben Zobrist has kept himself in baseball shape?

Just fail him on his 2022 physical. Easy peasy

Just the messenger.  Anyone see the NBCSN article on trading for Bryant and the price would be Cespedes?  Thoughts?  I know currently looking at the prospects of not knowing what Jimenez or Robert will be like when they return later this year or next, the idea of trading a OF prospect is scary, but that would be a really nice bat in the lineup for the rest of this year.  I still think I would rather have Gallo who can play center, but it may not be the worst option.

Ahem

can we start by trading billy hamilton for a bag of tooth picks? would be just as useful.

I'll believe there's a full 2022 season when there's a CBA.

It's hard to believe that the Cubs would accept nothing more than Cespedes, for Bryant.

Agreed, though I believe incentives tied to IP or Games / At Bats are prorated in a shortened season, just as pay was last year. Players will demand that before signing any deal.

But not if Justice Sotomayor orders them back to work again.

Pretty sure he’d have some recourse if they groundlessly failed him

Our whole starting OF is hurt

Ben Gamel DFAd. Should get him in Charlotte. Just keep signing guys like this til someone sticks.

He is a great player in the situations you mention.  Please don't use him in anything to do with holding the bat.
