Click needs to go get a fucking bat.

HE said he was single handedly trying to fire up the trade market but everyone told him to fuck off and pay attention to the draft and then they'd get back with him.  Said they are going to be very agro at the deadline.

Yep, I don't think we can count on getting Brantley back anytime soon. Need a 1B/OF. 

Someone said Boras was on a podcast saying he's a great healer and they think he should be able to start swinging in September?  Did I hear that right?

Mancini makes the most sense. It's a shame that Yordan is incapable of playing 1B because it would really help if he could. I think Soler could be a low cost addition (just like last year), but he doesn't play 1B either.

 

Mancini has a$10M mutual option for next year with a $250K buyout

Soler has two PO's for $15M and $9M respectively.

So are we supposed to all bow down to the shock and awe of them offering up the #55 prospect in the game?  

Tell Click to shut it down, we can't compete with that kind of offer.  

Garcia, Urquidy and Leon for Castillo.  Get er done click.

Would you rather have Castillo or Soto?

We need a stats nerd to crunch the number on the odds a pitcher could make 19 starts for a near .700 win % team with a 5.4 runs per game average yet only have 3 wins.

Soto for 2 years 100 times out of 100

Personally?  Soto.  There is no way that happens.  I don't know that Castillo is super likely but I expect us to be involved in that completely. 

If Soto is really going to have Corbin duck taped to him that talent offer shouldn't be all that big (you are essentially paying Soto 100 million for the next 2 years b/c of the Corbin anchor around his neck).  
So- my offer would be Garcia and Meyers.  That's fair surplus value for surplus value if Corbin is attached.  I would assume they view that as ridiculously light, but I'd make the call and ask where that got me, before immediately pivoting to Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz.  If Brantley is gone we need 2 bats.  Get them both at the same place.

We give up a better and younger starter for Castillo ? 
 

Castillo is going to get shelled in the playoffs 

Ok- so just want to make sure I have you right- it's your contention that Garcia is a better pitcher than Castillo?
