    Clarke is gone.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone said "We want a pitcher to pitch side by side with Crochet" or something like that. It was understood that a #2 was the low bar. If they think Gray is a #2, then they should have said yes, when someone asked him if they felt he was. Instead, they hemmed and hawed and left it to us to work it out. Then they sign Oviedo and the word is they think he has top of the rotation stuff/potential. Is he the #2? If yes, I'm LMAO!

    I like Marte more than Breggie, but I share you concerns about age regression. Marte has more power. He's a switch hitter. He's 32 and has 5 years of control. That brings him to age 36. That is very old for some/many players, so it is a dice roll. Bichette is much younger but has little power and may not hit over .800 in any of his 5-7 seasons. (He should not play SS, but will be getting SS money.)

    How highly do you value one year of Diaz (turns 35 in AUG) and BLowe (turns 32 in June)? Crawford has 3 arb years left, and 2026's will be under $3M. That has a lot of appeal to the Rays, who owe over $23M to these two guys. That's about 30% of their budget! Maybe they say No. Maybe they say "HELL NO!" Maybe they'd prefer Harrison or Dobbins plus Perales. I'm not locked into Crawford be the most desirable of what we can offer. I just threw his name out, because I think he is more valued than Harrison, Dobbins and Perales. I'm not giving up Bello, Early or Tolle for two 1 year guys. Would you?
  5. moonslav59
    I'd be okay with that, if we still get what we need in other ways. I worry we won't.
  6. moonslav59
    I'm not a member of BTV. I don't value DHam highly. I value Crawford highly. It's basically Crawford for two 1 year players. DHam balanced the 40 man slots.
  7. moonslav59
    I'm not giving both, either. Perhaps, Crawford, DHam and maybe some faraway prospect is too much.
  8. moonslav59
    He's the type of guy the Rays would love. Crawford was an overpay for Diaz, so the underpay of DHam for DLowe might even it out. Maybe we need to give more... another prospect? Romy not DHam?
  9. moonslav59
    If we don't get another infielder with Marte, we can't give AZ Mayer to get Marte. We give an OF'er and a pitcher.
  10. moonslav59
    How about Crawford and DHam for 1 year each of Diaz and B Lowe.
  11. moonslav59
    I'd trade anyone for 1 sure ring.
  12. moonslav59
    We are not only worse, it's not close. We can't even be the same. We need to get BETTER.
  13. moonslav59
    If we are to just get one positional player add, I'd choose Marte, but having to give something else up makes getting Alonso, Schwarber or even Polanco/Suarez more of an overall net plus. If we give up Duran or Campbell, then KMarte's cost will be near $12M, which may allow for another add like Suarez or Merrill Kelly.
  14. moonslav59
    I'd make it a minivan and add Crawford.
  15. moonslav59
    One way to not spend so much is by trades.
  16. moonslav59
    No way I say yes to that, but I dont hang up. I say Bello OR Early and you can have Crawford or Dobbins instead.
  17. moonslav59
    I think they will want Tolle or Early and deserve one. I'm not sure 3 from Bello, Crawford, Dobbins, Harrison, Oviedo, Perales get it done. Maybe Campbell plus 2 from Crawford, Dobbins, Harrison, Oviedo, Perales? Not sure they want Arias or anyone else, instead, but that could be an option.
  18. moonslav59
    Saw somewhere a suggest trade: Duran, Tolle & Paez for Hunter Greene 4 years of control: I have to say YES! ($8.3M AAV) 26:$8M, 27:$15M, 28:$16M, 29:$21M club option ($2M buyout) We could afford to sign a big bat or trade Campbell & pitching depth for KMarte. What a rotation! Crochet, Greene, Gray, Bello, whoever is left from Oviedo/Sandoval/Harrison/Crawford/Early/Dobbins
  19. moonslav59
    I'm not so sure these guys are all going where everyone assumes they are. DD may love Schwarber, but I'm sure he likes other shiny objects, too, and some may cost less or fill a more important role than DH. It does seem like the Cubs want Bregman, but don't count them out on Tucker. Also, if they have that much cash, maybe someone else fits their needs better. TOR seems in on Tucker heavily, but then maybe Bichette goes to team we thought Breggie was going. Lots of moving parts. Maybe it just takes one domino, and they all come tumbling down.
  20. moonslav59
    He did?
  21. moonslav59
    If our budget is $18-22M, yes. Maybe Suarez?
  22. moonslav59
    He might get a chance, He's probably better than Uberhan and Drohstine.
  23. moonslav59
    If we don't get Alonso, I think we go with Polanco (Mayer 3B/Casas 1B w Romy helping out.) Maybe K Marte is just a dream.
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe. I think we have too many SP'ers better than he is, who will be in the pen first.
  25. moonslav59
    Everyone but the Sox can outbid Cohen?
