  1. I wish I had your positivity. I firmly believe if you offered the owners no baseball for a year right now in exchange for the cap, they'd snatch your hand off. The brand will always recover, It's baseball, it's not going anywhere, even if it would suffer a hit.
  2. He's far from perfect and I'm happy to not have him there, but I'll take his defence over Mona's all day. Mona doesn't have the benefit of carrying an injury either. There's always the chance Arias comes up and Story is at 2nd/DH on times, but feels unlikely. Time will tell.
  3. You can have the conversations from now. Start sounding out numbers. Then if it goes as they hope get it done straight after.
  4. He has good defence, has good speed, and plays all 3 positions. If we trade Duran in the offseason as you'd imagine we will, he's the ideal 4th outfielder.
  5. The eye test tells me Mona's defence is significantly worse. Not sure what the stats say, but I'm scared whenever a ball is hit at him.
  6. There's no rush to re-sign him. Wait to see how he plays the remainder of this season, then all going well, extend him before the stoppage and grandfather in any costs in the event of a cap. Dodgers will do the same with Skubal.
  7. He wasn't complaining about the broadcast team. But about the idiots.
  8. Story catching a lot of hate. For sure Mona deserves to keep the spot for now, but Story during one of his hot streaks is a far better option than Mona. Far, far better, Whether he will have enough time to get his timing, and enter one those hot streaks when we need it is another matter altogether. I'd be perfectly happy for us to not see him and carry on as are, but people are talking about Story like he's finished. With Anthony, Story and Houck ramping up, and IFK Crochet and Oviedo also getting going (and Mead at some point), we're going to to see some demotions of team favourites at some point.
  9. Yes exactly! Get out once in a while by staying in and watching interviews on your TV/computer/phone.
  10. This confused me all of yesterday. But after sleeping on it, I think it makes sense. They don't really have cover for Abreu and Raf if they go down, especially in defensive ways. White gives them that and they can load up against LH'ers now.
  11. Eli White and Jahmai Jones have no options. That is a confusing trade...
  12. https://x.com/i/status/2084388043776229458 Mayer going
  13. Have to! If next year is scrapped.... 😬 I think we can tune out of the last two hours. There's not much left to send.
  14. True enough but the pitching staff loved him by all accounts. People wanted Breslow to put his balls on the line. Well, he's done that alright.
  15. Big risk to change up the catching with the pitching doing so well. But exciting nonetheless. But jeez...that return.
  16. Jesus that's a hefty cost. Loved the deal when it was announced. Not now I've seen the return. Surely he's getting extended!
  17. Is there anyone that makes a bigger fool of themselves more consistently than Fred? And I don't just mean on Talk Sox.
  18. In what world are The Mets doing that? This is may be the silliest offer you have ever put together.
  19. I'm not sure we're in a position to know surgery was the right route.
  20. The Braves' specialist said they're doing the right thing and on the right track. He'll be ready when he's ready. The main issue was (once again) the FO getting the messaging wrong at the beginning of the injury.
  21. Agreed, and I'm happy for him to do so. I do wonder if it'll be a platoon with Duran in left, or with Yoshi at DH. Maybe it's a bit of both.
  22. I'm not starting Yoshida in LF. I stick with Duran and move him in the summer if we can't get a good deal for him in the next two weeks. Anthony is showing no signs of making it back to the team any time soon, so we can't rely on him.
  23. He should be if he has good value. The problem is, he's injury-prone, and not a great at bat. His value is hugely diminished.
