I’d rather they sell too rather than be buyers in a futile attempt to compete for a ring this year or next. They simply don’t currently have the base of talent to do so. Toro and Gonzalez and some of his mates aren’t the answer. Neither are the dumpster dive pitchers they tend to sign, Crochet being the obvious exception. He looks like the real deal. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

Overall the higher the pick the better the chance that the pick will materialize into a useful player. That’s why there is an order in the draft. The more talented players get picked first, in general. Whats insane is that it seems some people don’t understand that concept.
-
We will need a reliable #2 SP, a RH bat , especially if Bregman leaves, a decent backup catcher etc. I don’t keep track of what our competition needs but I don’t think we can fill these holes in one offseason despite our young core.
-
Getting better draft picks is better for the team. And to do that you have to have the worst record possible. That means tanking when indicated.
-
It was an exaggeration. Realistically-probably 2027. Not next year. We still have holes to fill.
-
I always root for the Flops. I always want what’s best for the team. Usually that’s winning but sometimes it’s best if they lose.
-
Rays losing; Bankees blown out; Rangers tied.
-
Betts takes strike 3 right down the middle
-
Can’t walk that guy in front of Betts
-
Rafaela is descending down to his natural level. He’s just not a good hitter
-
Neither player is getting traded because Mayer is hurt
-
We may yet win this game
-
That DP is going to cost us the game
-
Could have been a runner on 1B with Hernandez coming up as the tying run. Dumb baserunning; great throw
-
Great throw by Rafaela-but dumb baserunning by Smith.
-
Or ground out. The operative word is OUT. Needed that run.
-
Rafaela will K
-
He battled today. Even at 80% he’s better than all but a few pitchers.
-
He’s giving it everything he has. Can’t ask for more. A lot of guys would not be playing.
-
Not his best stuff. Too few first pitch strikes and too many pitches.
-
They don’t have to spend it before the deadline. Unless they can get someone of high value (unlikely) they could and SHOULD wait until the offseason when FAs become available.
-
Crochet doesn’t have his good stuff today
-
Nope. I’m glad the got rid of him and his s*** attitude. But now the need to spend that $255M rather than pocket it.
-
Just keeping it real
-
We already got our two wins against the good teams.
