    I'd rather we just come out and say we will not pay big for anyone.
  2. moonslav59
    Yup. This is all one big drawn out sick joke.
  3. moonslav59
    We could have gotten him for $217M/7. LOL!
  4. moonslav59
    This is almost reaching comic proportions. Sox now "putting together a formal offer for Burnes." LMAO!

    I agree, totally. A 1 or 2 year rebuild, here and there is okay, as long as a window is being built up, but that is not what has happened. This has been a 6 year rebuild with an outlier fluke season in 2021.
  6. moonslav59
    Good ones?
  7. moonslav59
    I guess JD, Story and Yoshi are mid-level.
  8. moonslav59
    I think we had the 18th best record.
  9. moonslav59
    The premise was signing Bregman.... not to play SS.
  10. moonslav59
    You want this guy?
  11. moonslav59
    It does seem like a long time ago, but the three decades of pain that came before JH was worse.
  12. moonslav59
    The last time was way back in '21.
  13. moonslav59
    I know how to tell time. I also know when I see the same movie ten times in a row.

    I get the idea that we have some massive talent in the pipeline. Sure, nothing is guaranteed, but we can only play 9 everyday players, at a time. We need to choose wisely, but we need to choose. Choose who to trust and build around, and who to trade to fill other needs. It need not be for a 1 or 2 year player that limits our window. We can trade a few 5 year players for one 3-5 year player and still be about the future, while also making a push for the now.

    I'm feeling really bummed about our 2025 chances. I still like how we are set up for the future, but until we take some plunges to fill some major gaps, as in pitching, we may never reach glory, again. I've asked this many times, over recent years.... How Soon Is Now?
  16. moonslav59
    The idea would be to trade Casas for pitching (like Crochet.) and improve the defense, so the pitching doesn't have to get 4 outs every other inning.
  17. moonslav59
    I fully understand what their plan is. (I saw it coming before 2018.) That is seperate from what I think needs to be done or should be done. The "sham" is their feigned interest in everybody and anybody to try and con teh fans into thinking they really want to add top talent.
  18. moonslav59
    What good is serious interest in all the best FAs, if you won't outbid anyone. Everybody who ever signs a big FA, knows they overpaid, and did it anyway. Apparently, we missed that memo. This winter already sucks. Now, our only hope is to trade some of our future for help.
  19. moonslav59
    I thought Fried might get $190M/7. It looks like the blue chippers get a 20-30% bump. Our top choices are dwindling. I'm not high on Burnes or Bregman, anyway. Ho-hum, another sham winter.
  20. moonslav59
    We'd need one of the big 3: Burnes, Bregman of Crochet, unless some other big name is traded.
  21. moonslav59
    Sign Fried and Estevez Sign Elias Diaz C (1 year) Trade: Mayer for Crochet Trade: Yoshida, Bleis & Cespedes (maybe throw in a little cash, despite what Arenado is owed) for Arenado (BTW, COL is paying $5M for 2025 and 2026 on Arenado.) SP: Fried, Crochet, Houck, Bello, Giolito RP: Chapman, Estevez, Henriks, Slaten, Whitlock, Crawford, Winckowski, Wilson C: Diaz & Wong 1B: Casas/Devers (Romy) 2B: Campbell (DHam-Grissom) SS: Story (Romy) 3B: Arenado (Devers, Campbell, Grissom) LF: Duran (Refsnyder v L) CF: Anthony v R/ Rafaela v L or Duran v L RF: Abreu v R/ Anthony v L DH: Devers/Casas vs R/ Refsnyder v L
  22. moonslav59
    True for the Sox, too.
  23. moonslav59
    I'd be thrilled to get Fried and then trade for Crochet. Does Casas & Abreu get Crochet? Mayer straight up? If we get two good pitchers and a defensive catcher, we have a few options: Trade for Arenado (hopefully with Yoshida in the deal) and move Devers to 1B, ot just go with Grissom or Campbell at 3B. (Mayer, if he's not traded?) C: Insert Def catcher + Wong 1B: Devers 2B: DHam v R- Grissom v L (or Campbell) SS: Story 3B: Campbell (or Grissom/Mayer/Meidroth) LF: Duran CF: Anthony v R/ Rafaela v L RF: Abreu v R/ Anthony v L DH: Yoshida v R/ Ref v L
  24. moonslav59
    I'd feel better about our chances at getting Fried, if the Yanks sign Bregman. Are the Jays in on Burnes, too?
  25. moonslav59
    At his age, he could end up being the best of anyone available. I worry about the fact that he has never pitched more than 65 IP, until this year- college, minors, majors (a total of 8 seasons pitching somewhere.) I'd rather keep Mayer, too. Fried costs just money.
