A top 5 organization, considering smarts and resources. What gets me (among other things) is that Hahn spent 4 years collecting castoffs and AAAA players during the rebuilding phase (as he should have- at least the ones that he didn't trade for) ; not one of them stuck. He waives LH Gonzalez (despite never flopping for the Sox and a LH shortage) and boom! Six months later, he trades for an organizational minor leaguer because he needs a LH outfielder. It's ridiculous. Always reacting, never proactive. Edited June 20, 20223 yr by GreenSox

Most workers can quit and go elsewhere. MLB's Anti-Trust exemption makes players slaves with no escape options, living on an Owner's Plantation. #Great Resignation #Harriet Tubman Where Are Thou Not only is this insane, but if you truly believed that and were that outraged, I find it odd you would have over 5,700 posts on a message board devoted to a team inside Major League Baseball.

I'm as anti-owner as it gets, but this is just disgusting. MLB's greed is one thing, but to minimize the dehumanizing depravity of chattel slavery by comparing it to MLB's antiquated anti-trust exemption, even in jest, is completely fucked up. Do Better.
June 20, 20223 yr Can we all just agree that Yermin will get called up in time for the July 1 ~ July 3 trip to San Francisco and torch us for 8+ RBI across those 3 games, including a monster home run off of a position player on a 3-0 count with an 11-run lead?

It was probably one of the worst posts I've read on here. That's saying something since game threads do exist.

June 27, 20223 yr There are two things I wonder about concerning Yermin. 1. Why didn't he hit better at Charlotte, and 2. Why did Giants claim him?

June 28, 20223 yr In the starting lineup and hitting 7th as a DH vs. Skubal…trying to help out Rodon offensively.
