He only did the buy-sell thingy, last summer. In 2020, he traded 2 pen arms for Pivetta and Seabold, but I’m not sure that counts as a “buy.” There is no cap issue, unless we become serious buyers, so it won’t be about trying to stay under or not. We have a few one year guys, but more have another year or more of control than the last 2-3 years, but they could be sold off, too. There is a ways to go before we get to the buy/sell or both choice, and a few key pieces coming off the IL before or near the deadline, so who knows where we will be in 7 weeks. Just a couple weeks ago, we were looking at a playoff slot. Surely, we could be back like that again.

Also, had just one of our3 SSs been healthy, Story/Mondesi/Chang, and we could have used another or Arroyo/Kike at 2B and Kike in CF, Duval in LF. That’s not a bad defense. The SS situation snowballed into 3 downgrades at important defensive positions.
-
Not that a .726 OPS over his last 55 PAs is good, but if Kike can hit that and play CF\2B, that’s good enough for FT. Maybe he can find the magic from 2021 and other seasons, but I won’t hold my breath.

Somebody brought part I to the top
-
Other GMs know this, but maybe one thinks they can “fix” him better than we can.
-
They did play Chang. Plus, they don’t have to bench Kike, in fact he seems to be heating up his bat. The moves suggested were Reyes or Hamilton at SS, and Kike could play 2B or CF (before Duval returned.)
-
Yorke went 2-4, tonight with an HR and BB. Rafaela 2-3w BB Meidroth 3-4 w 2B Mayer 1-4 w HR Kavadas and Hickey went 0-9 w 6 Ks.
-
As was the JD deal, the Bogey opt out extension, the Nate extension, bringing Back Pearce and not Kimbrell or Kelly…
-
Many of us felt Kike would be okay at SS, worried about Arroyo staying healthy at 2B and were more or less okay with Chang as the back-up. Many never heard of Valdez. The idea was for these three to bridge us to Story’s return. IMO, it wasn’t a bad plan, but once things became obvious, the only change in plans was Reyes and Valdez. Playing Kike at only SS became the unmovable rock- like Dugo only in LF until the Pham trade suddenly made it ok for him to play RF. I’m not sure what other options are out there, but to me, how can playing Reyes or Hamilton at SS for a while not tried? Talk about head scratchers. My scalp is raw.
-
There was a lot of talk about this when we made the trade. The trade was great. The extension but us in the ass and more body parts I should not mention.

Throwing shadows on our eyes Leaves us helpless, helpless, HELL-plus.

Not all fans live and care about just the present, either. Of course it matters, a lot, but it’s not everything. The part that might matter most to JH is the overall sense that most fans are losing hope for the future, too.
-
Quite the sag, too.
-
Good one!
-
Is the Final Jeopardy?
-
Agreed. Let the kid play. When Duvall returns, he may sit a few games v lefties but not like a straight platoon, IMO.
-
Kinda like every GM since early Theo.
-
Yup! I knew we had some serious rebuilding to do but thought it could be done in less than 5 years with continued prudent spending.
-
No, but other GMs do otherwise. How well these additions do years from now will likely be realised- for good, bad or meh, after Bloom is gone.
-
Refsnyder is#5?
-
What a winner!
-
Some other team will likely find out.
-
Still, a “head scratcher!”
-
What is the reason for not giving Hamilton a shot? Anyone asked Bloom?
-
Hope he is more than just a “flash.”
