...and the Tito reunion.
-
Seems like a hole in their system.
-
I actually submitted a trade on Trade Values for Polanco, Rodriguez & Musgrove. (I offered up Duran, Chavis and Chatham. I seriously doubt Pitt would say yes, but the site accepted it.)
-
Who leaves on top? Jim Brown and nobody else.
-
It's not so much about the current numbers as the owner's willingness to spend in a period of extreme economic unknowns and instability. I have no clue what Seattle's spending budget might be, this winter, but I'm thinking we may spend between $25-45M (per year rate) by the trade deadline.
-
Theo left both teams in similar situations. He got both teams their much needed and long-awaited ring(s). He left both teams with some salary & roster issues. I'm not bashin' the guy. He's the G.O.A.T.!
-
We are not trading prospects for 1 year players. The Astros would not do this deal, either. We may not see any blockbuster trades or signings- just a bunch of midlevel and under-the-radar moves that build our roster depth and set us on the way to competitiveness. We make one splash deal in hopes of luring fans back, but I doubt we'll trade 10 years of 2 young player's control for 1 year control of anyone, let alone a SS, the one position we are set.

Good news for teams looking to spend, this winter. Supply & Demand.
-
I could have been more specific.
-
Again, I'm talking about protecting 6 rule 5 guys from our system not drafting 6. Mata Groome Bazardo Potts Rosario Wong
-
Sox not listed as one of the 4 teams interested in Odorizzi.
-
Theo open to trade any vet... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/cubs-open-to-move-almost-any-veteran-in-trades.html

Drew Smyly signs for $11M/1 with ATL.

Drew Smyly signs for $11M/1 with ATL!

No, I meant protecting 6 rule 5 players from our own system. (If we draft a rule 5 player, or two, they would be includes in the 6 additions we make this winter. There's room for 8-9 more, actually.)
-
I was going to say Aybar or Wilson (not both) and Chatham or Arauz (not both), so the list is really about 12. 6 Rule 5's 6 free agents or trade additions Even with all this, we may still have one of the weakest bottom 5 or 10 of 40 man rosters in MLB.
-
Why Weber before Brice, Hall, Stock, Springs and a few others?
-
Carlos who?
-
On the third point, I don't think Wong was part of the original deal, so Bloom felt Wong was needed to bring the total value up to what he felt a healthy Graterol was worth. Downs+Wong=healthy Graterol That hints at the feeling that Bloom did NOT value Downs as higher than Graterol- even a healthy one. Now, one could argue maybe Bloom had LA over a barrel and got them to throw in Wong, even though he may have taken just Downs.
-
I think we keep Weber and probably Mazza. So, assuming we protect Bazardo, along with Seabold, Wong, Mata, Potts, Rosario & Groome, we'll need to clear 3 slots. (We currently have 36 players on the 40 man roster.) 1. Bye bye Pedey. 2. Bye bye Brice 3. Bye bye Springs When we start adding free agents: 1. Hall 2. Stock 3. Walden 4. Aybar or Wilson 5. Chatham or Arauz 6. Hart, Mazza, Weber
-
Yes, my question was that during the prior negotiations, is there any indication of Bloom asking for Downs, first? I agree with what your point about Bloom thinking Downs was a higher value than a "broken" Graterol, but I think he wanted a healthy Graterol over Downs at the start. Did we get Wong as a sweatner for not getting a healthy Graterol,or was he part of the Graterol return to begin with?
-
Do you think Bloom originally asked for Downs or Graterol? Maybe he did ask for Downs, was turned down, then after the Graterol physical, he got LA to agree to Downs. Maybe Downs was plan B all along. Was Wong part of the original deal?
-
They haven't added a significant catcher since they apparently wanted Vaz earlier this year.
-
Good point. He's just not a priority to me.
-
I'm thinking a thread about prospects is generally going to be geared towards speculating on future possibilities.
