  1. Can we work out some sort of “lease with an option to buy” arrangement?
  2. Goldschmidt and his .662 OPS is more appealing? Granted, he doesn’t seem crazy like Alonso does sometimes…
  3. Or Connor Joe…
  4. I will say this however. Talking trades on baseball is, has been and always will be more realistic and much easier to understand than trades in other sports. Especially the NBA. That salary cap is more confusing than a lecture on advanced quantum nuclear physics taught only in Chinese to English-speaking kindergarten students…
  5. Whoa!!! No one said we could get a 17yh ranked!! Sell!! Sell!! SELL!!!
  6. Maybe he’s one of those boys down at Clancy’s that dgalehouse is always going on about…
  7. The biggest issue with an Alonso trade is the Mets’ playoff position isn’t much worse than Boston’s. They simply might not sell. The second biggest issue is the number of potential suitors, which could include the Mariners, Yankees, and semi-revitalized Astros squad looking to upgrade over Jon Singleton and the Ghost of Jose Abreu…
  8. This could realistically be a sell high moment for Hamilton. But I don’t think he has added that much value to his trade stock. But honestly, it does seem like there is this belief that a team should NEVER let any player leave their organization while getting nothing in return…
  9. They think MLB GMs only value players based on their Yahoo Fantasy Rankings with the setting on “last 7 days total”?
  10. The Will Smith vs Connor Wong dilemma…
  11. He thinks he is the voice of the vast majority of Red Sox Nation because he talks baseball to like two or three other people, one of whom might be his own reflection in the bathroom mirror…
  12. Grissom has an option already exercised for this season, plus one more remaining. So he can in theory play Worcester Ball until neeeded. To accommodate DeJong, you can demote Valdez, assuming no one is injured. If Hamilton will be at 2b, do you need Valdez as much?
  13. Most of the folks against trading Duran were rejecting proposals with logic like “Duran isn’t good enough to get a starting pitcher.” Now that that is clearly untrue, I guess it’s time to pretend he was always simply too valuable and was always a good centerfieler…
  14. And less than two years removed from Sean McDounough’s infamous “he’s not a major leaguer.”…
  15. Booser pitched in all 3 games in Cincinnati. His demotion could be related to simply getting a fresher arm on board…
  16. Someone named cactus put a trade on BTV. Yoshida and Yorke (total: -9.5) for Anderson (-8.5)…
  17. Personally, I think Tyler Anderson and Paul DeJong would make for an excellent pair of deadline acquisitions…
  18. Presumably why Fangraphs only values him at a non-MLB leading 1.0 fWAR…
  19. BTV still values him at -8.5. We can go lower…
  20. I know. You’d think Cora would use the bullpen more. But nope!!
  21. So… you’re saying he’s a weird guy…
  22. Tyler Anderson is in year 2 of a 3 year $39mill contract. I have seen blurbs he is available. The main reason I doubt this is that Tyler has (very) quietly taken over the American League lead in bWAR among starting pitchers. But if he is available, he might be Andy Bailey’s type…
  23. Assuming the Mets even sell, the market for Alonso could be enormous. I like when deals work out on BTV, but this one screams potential overpay…
  24. He would if those games were 15 innings long each…
