  1. on mlb radio about 15 min ago they were like "if i'm the mets, i'm asking for hunter brown." the fuck outta here with that. let's see.
  2. hoping since crane is "personally involved" that means he's going to solve the money bit.
  3. like most trades, both teams have to agree on the players involved. great insight.
  4. it's kinda not classic poker. if verlander decides to stay, he doesn't really "lose". he stays in new york with his family and his millions, pitching low stress baseball and is on vacation by oct 1st. yeah, everybody wants to win, but he won a world series last year, so let's not act like he's charles fucking barkley.
  5. in the playoffs these days it's about going 5 and giving up 2 while we lean on offense and bullpen. that's perfect for urquidy if he's going to be sp3. not sure where france and hb would slot. maybe urquidy is sp4.
  6. ahh, my bad. looks like he signed that after he threatened to opt out. machado is smart. padres are fucking morons. they sign these huge deals and basically make these guys untradeable. or if they do get traded, the team has to choose between prospects and cash. guess that's kinda what's happening with jv. another season of proving that these huge deals don't work.
  7. well if framber and javier don't figure it out, no trade is going to matter anyway.
  8. i said something similar in a conversation last night. the timing of the trade deadline seems to also be when pena and abreu (not to mention chas) got activated. we also added altuve and yordan. if we add urquidy and uncle mike, that's about as good as a july/aug run as you can hope for without giving up shit. there isn't a dominant team in the al right now, so you may just have to roll the dice and hope that our guys do what our guys do. honestly, is there a team that scares you? a pitching staff?
  9. depending on the price, i still like him. he feels like the type of guy who does well in our system and then opts out, so who cares. but yes, if we give up a lot for him, i won't be pleased.
  10. we've got a delicate ecosystem going on over here.
  11. nice to see another team do the stupid shit we would normally get caught doing.
  12. he's been garbage for a month after leading mlb in quality starts.
  13. https://www.mlb.com/news/manny-machado-to-opt-out-of-contract-after-2023#:~:text=Manny Machado on 2023 season,focus is not about 2024.
  14. and they're going to be worse next year when machado opts out. padres load up, arizona gets hot, dodgers back in 1st. same as it ever was.
  15. so tonight is the deadline? time to get weird?
  16. age limits and term limits are super fun to talk about, but something tells me you won't get much help passing it or proving that it's constitutional to do so. call it a hunch.
  17. and it's not just an either/or in the c spot situation. when he plays yainer at c, then we can play whomever we want at dh. when he plays yainer at dh, then maldonado has to catch, and it's never ideal to have two catchers hitting in your lineup. i know we're not bursting at the seams with great hitters, but yainer at c solves two problems. also he's really good at it.
