Feels like we hear stuff like this every year and the meetings end up a massive dud. 2019-20 was the last really exciting offseason...unfortunately, they ended up with Keuchel instead of a better/younger pitcher. Also, Encarnacion turned into a similar bust, and Grandal pretty much fell apart after 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has since lost top prospect status after failing miserably in majors early in career 3.) Plays multiple positions but none proficiently 4.) Has played 2B which is just icing on the cake to Getz 5.) Can’t hit a lick with little to no power. Prey much nailed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been chatter that they are shopping Tatis. If that's the case, then they may try to replace his production with Robert. It's net neutral move in 2026 $ wise but saves them money in the long run. I want to see Boston miss out on Bregman, Schwarber, Marte and Alonso. Then I think they pivot to Tatis and that could be a monster trade with other ripples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Tatis gets dealt but maybe Cronenworth in a salary dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted Tuesday at 06:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:43 PM Robert to replace Tatis is pretty laughable. They have Darvish Bogaerts Musgrove Machado and Cronenworth that are all "bad" or soon will start becoming bad contracts. That said, Miller Tatis Pivetta and Merrill are really the only players who are "valuable" to other teams atm...Jackson slightly less so after signing his early extension and falling off a bit from his rookie production.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM Dodgers still need OF. Could you get Tibbs for Robert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They can afford to wait until the trade deadline. SD is no longer a realistic threat. SF has a year or two to go in terms of being an NL West challenger, short of signing Tucker/Bregman/Alonso, etc. The Dodgers just brought in Rocco Baldelli, who goes way back to Friedman and his TB days, specifically to work on the outfield play of those four top guys in their system.

Didn't their recent braintrust take off for Miami? This current version seems more Earth-bound than previous. Plus its not a fair comparison.Getz has only been GM for 2 full seasons. There's been plenty of talent brought in since then and its just in the baby steps stage of making youth development a priority. And Montgomery is a prime example of benefitting from a Getz hire . Shane Smith and Vasil both now key components of the pitching staff also were part of scouting wins in a situation that has not been a fountain of success for very many teams. I don't know why people keep feeding the despair wolf. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why people keep feeding the despair wolf. Because it’s all still quite fragile. Colson was almost a lost cause a year ago. Their top 3 pitching prospects all failed to increase in value. You have only Braden and that 2026 #1 who can make immediate impacts…but then you still have to get through 2026-27 and it’s already Year 4.5 of Getz. That’s almost 9 years of rebuilding and two winning seasons. 2028 there will be no excuses left, except JR once again not spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
