    Biggest difference is Justin's in game power. Even if he has holes in his swing (which many, many players have), he has a path to the bigs that KC currently does not.

    Xander 136 wRC+ AAA Arias 131 wRC+ AAA Xander massively struggled his first full season (659 OPS, 81 wRC+). I think Arias would be closer to that than 720 OPS.

    If you'd like to compare them to the Dodgers post Betts trade, go ahead. It'd be far more depressing though!

    Yes, recently they have done MUCH better than the Sox. They also are in the playoffs year in and year out. We can't say that about the Sox.

    I think it's just your worldview TBH.
  6. mvp 78
    They wanted Abreu, not Duran. I don't think they would have done Duran for Paredes.
  7. mvp 78
    They won 7 playoff series by your count. The Sox have won 2?

    It's the same with how it worked in 2004! Need to win 3 series! What's the big deal?

    Maybe I've just been on here too long...

    786 OPS vs 710 OPS Great glove at SS vs great glove at 3b 34 SB vs 20 SB

    It was hilarious that Putin pocketed that SB ring from Kraft. That was one of the first indications to me that something was up with Kraft. I was completely done with him by the time he was putting Myra's initials on the jerseys while chasing any young blonde in the vicinity.

    You are calling out too many people on here with this opinion! 💃

    Somebody had to want Duran.
  14. mvp 78
    People wanted Otto Lopez before the season. He was much better than Durbin. Paredes had a strong year too. Probably could have figured out a way to acquire both.

    I'd only pay to see Led Zep if John Bonham was drumming.

    Is that what the popcorn trick is?

    He bought it because he wants to make a bunch of money. You said it's a hobby and that they "hope" to make money. There is no "hope. They absolutely KNOW they will come out ahead. He was just waiting for his opportunity. Was buying the O's his boyhood dream or was that owning the Magna Carta, a signed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, being Vice Chair at the LIncoln Center for Performing Arts, being on the board at the Smithsonian where he donated 22M towards giant pandas, founding the Carlyle Group, being on the Council of Foreign Relations, advising the President or the 100M+ he's spent on historic preservation? To me, it seems like buying the O's is at the end of a long list of things in his collection, but one that is guaranteed to make money.

    They are then over the 2nd threshold and face a draft pick penalty. They've shown no interest in doing that. Offset the cost by trading Duran for prospects?
  20. mvp 78
    As a 5th starter/rp in 2025? Sure! Better than 9M on the IL.

    Give me the wagon....
  22. mvp 78
    That company didn't have its priorities straight TBH
  23. mvp 78
    Give me a plastic wagon over one that is metal and just going to rust in my garage TBH.

    Per David Rubenstein: "A lot of my friends were buying teams, and I realized they're making money. They're making more money than I'm making in private equity." It has NOTHING to do with "hoping to make money." These owners are making money hand over fist, especially in baseball where you are guaranteed money from rich teams. You don't even have to sell tickets to make money as an MLB owner now.

    Famously, nobody wants to be here in August. It's one of the quieter months of the year.
