As long as it's not Tolle, I don't care. He's the only near untouchable prospect to me. I'm not a huge Ryan guy, so I wouldn't include Tolle in that trade. In a trade for a guy like Skubal? I'm emptying the farm.
Ryan is 19th in fWAR from 23-25 and age 29. Valdez and Cease are both better and are FA this offseason. The other real swing and a miss was not signing Sonny Gray last season.
AZ was also 4th in DRS and 2nd in OAA as a team in '23. To me, this team just isn't built for it. You can try to make an argument than every team has a chance, but I don't really believe.
Probably not Eaton if he's demoted now. If they were going to DFA him, they'd just do it the day they're activating Masa. Cotillo's report has Masa back TODAY not Monday though? I don't know what the move is and haven't seen speculation.
The GOAT. I watched a lot of WCW back in the 90's.
I went to a house show at the Fleet Center that was:
Rey Mysterio/Billy Kidman vs Benoit/Malenko
Sting vs Bam Bam
Goldberg vs Meng (Haku)
Flair vs Hogan
No Eddie or Chavo tho...
He was a 101 OPS+ from 2015-2020 in his prime years. I don't care about his first struggles when he was called up or what happened after he left BOS the first time.
We didn't "get rid of him" because we knew he'd flame out like he did. It was just a good call on their part. It was just dumb to bring him back in '22.
Giolito has been ridiculous the last five games. Seems like it's time to get the brooms out and watch out for a future endeavor post concerning the COL GM.
That's the state of the Rockies org, I believe. If you're a fan, I think you just go to games to enjoy the ballpark and have a few beers without worrying about the actual game.
I got it out of my system the first week or so. It's just so weird that Will Flemming needs to keep bringing it up like he's been personally slighted somehow.
I guess Will Clark has just taken IF with the team for years and years and it's very common for him to do so. It was nothing special planned or anything. Will was already going to be there and just thought Devers was going to take 1b with him.
If I was PR for the Giants, I'd be nervous as Hell having that guy around for sure. Great story teller though.
