  1. So according to this, Dodgers traded 19.6m for 9.3m = -10.3m. We traded 17.3m for 4.9m = -12.4m.
  2. So we paid significantly more for Kikuchi, cool.
  3. Brice Matthews not in AA lineup tonight, FWIW.
  4. Him getting away with this with basically zero scrutiny from anyone was one of my first "oh shit" moments of his Presidency.
  5. Meanwhile, in reality, the guy that Trump picked for VP wrote the forward for the upcoming book written by the leader of Project 2025.
  6. Seems like every time the Houston piece of a trade is delayed in getting announced, it means an overpay. Hope Hunter Brown likes New York.
  7. That's me giving Dana Brown the benefit of the doubt. If he views Loperfido as more than that, then the trade makes even less sense.
  8. And he got unquestionably passed up by a younger guy with a 40% strikeout rate that was just included as basically a throw-in for a shitty starting pitcher. But sure, maybe he'll save the season.
  9. Two weeks ago, millions of America pleaded to God to watch over this country. Three days later, the elderly President of the United States was diagnosed with Covid and three days after that dropped out of the race. It sure is interesting that most of the people who pleaded with God to send help refuse to even consider the possibility that his solution might not align with their political beliefs.
  10. Maybe he’ll pitch for us in one of the games where “innings eater” Kikuchi goes less than 5, as he has done more often than not over the past few months.
  11. LMAO at those quotes. “Look, I know the cost was high, but I want to make sure you also know that this guy wasn’t even at the top of our board.”
  12. Dana about to give up Altuve and Yainer.
  13. In another comparison to the DHop trade, this puts Kikuchi in a horrible position with the fan base. We fucking HATED David Johnson, through no fault of his own.
  14. The Astros officially have their version of the DeAndre Hopkins trade.
  15. And to top it all off, Dana viewed this deal as so can't miss that he pulled the last minute scratch and subjected his team to a bullpen game that will likely fuck up the pitching staff for the rest of the week. Bang up job all around.
  16. Don't encourage Dana, he'd probably give up Yordan in that deal.
  17. Dude must be a psychic since initial lineups weren’t posted until over an hour after this tweet.
  18. And it's remarkable how effective "stop being so weird" is as a rebuttal to almost any of their dumb ideas. There's no legitimate counter that doesn't make them sound insanely defensive. It's genius.
  19. Oh, I absolutely was one of them. I just think it’s a giant tell that their absence from this forum has nothing to do with the posters in here being too “mean” and is actually due to a lack of confidence in their side.
  20. I’ve been a bit disengaged from the deadline gossip this year, but are there real thoughts that we acquire a difference-maker? What the hell kinda package are people expecting us to be able to put together?
