    I heard this many times, and I'm not doubting it, but I'd prefer to win or lose with THE MAN.
  2. moonslav59
    He wasn't "clearly" a RP'er, and you don't have to "stretch out" a guy who has started almost his whole career. Fess up.
  3. moonslav59
    I don't, but it was pure speculation, at the time. Had Pedro got us out of the inning, he'd be a genius. If he replaced Pedro and we got shelled, he'd be grossly criticized for that, too.
  4. moonslav59
    It is crazy. They do dump Myers, though, but it's far from worth the rest of the deal. (BTW, although the deal came out close to even, the trade value site did not accept the suggested traded, as expected).
  5. moonslav59
    Pedro at 75% was better than anyone else we had.
  6. moonslav59
    Agreed. How about JBJ for Myers (+$2M x 3 yrs), Campusano, Margot & Quantrill?
  7. moonslav59
    I've said and believed those words since the Pedro choice. (He did make other mistakes.)
  8. moonslav59
    How about Betts, Price, $45M ($3M less than original offer), Workman and Chavis for Verdugo & Gonsolin?
  9. moonslav59
    Well, we would be adding Casas and Dalbec, but I agree, the Dodgers wouldn't do it.
  10. moonslav59
    Carlin had an opinion on everything.
  11. moonslav59
    Maybe you want to check the facts before posting. Graterol started 11 games in 2019. Yes, way back in 2019! In 2018, he made 18 appearances- ALL STARTS! (102 IP or 5 1/3 IP per start) Before that, 11 of his 14 appearances were starts. All levels: 41 starts and 20 relief appearances. It's totally understandable to think he might have been our 5th starter, if healthy.
  12. moonslav59
    Isn't that just on the money over the $40M line?
  13. moonslav59
    Was it harmony that started using the term? Can we stop using it?
  14. moonslav59
    I think Braterol was an important piece in the deal, but he shouldn't be a deal-breaker. Getting someone close to his value or even Maeda instead would be fine with me.
  15. moonslav59
    They all have pretty similar values on the trade value site with Cartaya being the closest and the others 5-6 higher.
  16. moonslav59
    I agree, and I said they wouldn't do it. They apparently wanted us to pay part of Myers's deal for just Betts- an insane demand. In theory, paying Myers is equal to paying Price by the trade simulator, but if the Padres cannot afford paying more for Price than what Myers costs, then of course no deal will be made. What I liked about the idea of a Price for Myers deal a while back was that Myers has an AVV of "just" $13.8M, so he'd be worth more to a team walking the luxury tax line than the Padres. In theory, we could trade Price + $17M a year for Myers and break even on the tax. Would SD take Price + $9.5M x 3 yrs for Myers straight up? They'd be paying the same. We'd pay the same but save $7.5M a year on the tax line. The problem is, Price is better than Myers, and we have a 1Bman, now.
  17. moonslav59
    Isn't the term return to norm better and easier to understand.
  18. moonslav59
    The Dodgers could take Graterol and give us Downs, Gonsolin, Gray, Stripling, Gray or Cartaya.
  19. moonslav59
    I'd trade Betts & Price (no cash) for Myers, Luchessi, Campusano & Margot.
  20. moonslav59
    That sounds a lot like a "trade on the future..." I'd trade Price for Myers straight up, but I doubt SD agrees. They wanted us to pay part of Myers's deal. Let's assume they go along with Price for Myers, then we get to the Betts part of the deal. What's similar to Verdugo & Graterol? Going by the trade simulator values, Verdugo and Graterol (healthy) are worth about 65. Mix and match SD players & prospects: 50 Patino (not likely offered by SD) 32 Lucchesi 32 Trammell 25 Campusano 20 Grisham 14 Morejon 13 Hedges 13 Naylor 11 Weathers 9 Quantrill 7 Margot
  21. moonslav59
    They could, but the Twins should have the first shot to make an adjustment, since it's their guy holding up the deal.
  22. moonslav59
    They are already getting the shortest end of the deal, so I agree. It's up to MN, or the Sox can just take Maeda or someone the Dodgers want equally. I'm not sure how badly MN wants Maeda, but they know about Graterol's medical situation. If he's this risky, they wouldn't want him and should give more or replace him. Shades of the Pom deal, although Espinoza ended up hurt,too.

    MLBTR... “Some involved [in the trade] are now suggesting it’s not a certainty,” MLB Network’s Jon Heyman tweets, as the holdup continues to center around the Red Sox, Twins, and Graterol’s condition. Boston is reportedly trying to “reconfigure” its end of the deal with the Twins, “meaning more than Graterol” would head from Minnesota to Fenway Park.
  24. moonslav59
    MLBTR... Commissioner Rob Manfred provided an update on Major League Baseball’s investigation into the Red Sox alleged use of video equipment to steal opponents’ signs during the 2018 season, telling reporters (including Ken Davidoff of the New York Post) that he hoped to have a conclusion reached before Spring Training camps open next week. “I’d like to have this over. Investigations are funny. You think you know what the timeline is, but that’s a day-to-day prediction,” Manfred said.
  25. moonslav59
    This makes it sound like they didn't want to give up prospects... “We were not going to trade on our future,” said the unnamed employee. “We’re in for the (long haul), not one year.” Plus, all we ever heard for names was Myers, and I think Margot and Quantrill were mentioned, too.
