A better question might be why is Reed on this roster?

Madrigal was promoted to triple A today. Not long now boys.

Now this is a case of Jerry's loyalty to employee's leaving a good impression in my mind.

I hope not. Mutual agreement on an extension or goodbye Jose.

With Moncada out and no new toys to talk about...this is going to be a dull couple of weeks.

RH made the decision to ask for and receive the moon or use Colome for our own run in 2020. Seems reasonable to me. Don't get me wrong...I wanted in on the action but RH is probably right in this inaction.

I said more than a month ago that what the FO did today would show us their intentions for 2020. The only reason to keep Colome, Bummer & Abreu is if we are contending next year. RH now has this off season to show my faith in him is warranted.

I expect Colome to be traded by the time I come down for breakfast tomorrow.

And swinging at strikes.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this rumor...seem like an obvious fit.

This is my view as well. Baseball agrees to the rules...we play by them. Not much to argue about IMO.

I don't know anything about Bader but his stat line looks like he could be Adam Engle.

These guys should not be part of any deal. No player is untradeable...these guys come close. Could almost guarantee they come back and bite you in the ass.

The money being tossed around got very expensive even with the big boys sitting out. Next year we have very good third baseman and excellent 2nd baseman and the money to buy what we need in pitching and right field. The plan is on schedule IMO.

I like your thinking. I agree.

Quinn.

AJ would have the best of both worlds...good and evil.

I obviously know that the 29 teams don't all want him. If one or two of those 29 teams want him we now have to out bid the competition if we want to retain his services. I thought that was self explanatory.

Best outcome for all concerned is Jose signs a two or three year extension for 12-14 million per. His replacement is a year and a half away from ready. Why put ourselves in position to need yet another position filled. Reed is most definitely not the answer. Give Jose a fair offer like I suggest and move on to the clubs real needs.

I care about having the right manager and coaching staff to get it done.

Bidding against 29 other teams is not the way to keep Abreu at a bargain price.

The AAA hitting coach must have straighten him out.

I wonder if we have been underestimating Nova...he's look really good lately. The Twinks are not easy to contain like he's doing tonight.

He could have been a 30 homer 30 stolen bases guy if he chose to. More likely if RR let him.

Then he better be extended. Ending up empty handed is just nuts.
