The mystique of playing in front of unwashed masses of pink hats. Now it's just corporate tickets that are handed out to anyone that got the booby prize in the holiday musical chairs game.
Snell had higher highs IMO, but is just inconsistent. If you are into rollercoasters, he's your guy. I'd be more comfortable with a guy like Montgomery that can at least give you innings.
Porcello has 17 less innings than Glasnow since 2018. Porcello has been retired since 2020............. Sale has 10 more innings than Glasnow in the same period.
SD would want too much for Kim. The Cronenworth contract is a nonstarter.
Polanco could be a good get.
I don't see the Cards trading Erdman at all. Donovan is a LH UTIL/OF that isn't a great 2B.
I'd trade for Drury. Not sure what it would take to get him, but I wouldn't give up much.
