August 30Aug 30 The deadline for a player qualifying to be on the play-off roster expires today or tomorrow. IMO, hard pass on Robert Jr. If Kenny Williams was GM he would add any big name player and tell the boss it was worth the price, referencing KW signing the other Jr. late in the season for his own foolish, self-serving reasons.

August 31Aug 31 I wish we were à franchise where 5 million is chump change. Imagine if that beer league team needed a shortstop, we could put a package together.

August 31Aug 31 Just now, tray said:Like Mets fans?At least they had an exciting run to the playoffs in 2024...and their late season collapse last year was entertaining, in a way.
