  1. Phillies only make sense with Bohm diverted off to a 3rd team , one that can use him now in win-now
  2. Though, article makes it sound more like it wont actually happen. we want a lot in a downyear
  3. 3.4 fWAR which is the only one that matters. If you dont think my post is accurate then show me the pitchers who have his K rate that are worth tons and tons in trade. Maybe Getz messed up a little due to being new but he wasnt going to get a haul
  4. FWIW Eaton was 25 when he was here, played great, and his value rolled over to netting us Giolito, Lopez, Dunning - so you can still win a few games and then move him for something else at his peak if you get him. You have to trust your evaluation of the guy though and thread that needle perfectly. Harder now to get a Giolito type name in a trade. Those days seem gone. You have to uncover diamonds in the rough.
  5. We probably would get more in return if we concentrated on pitching. That's the market right now. But if you are gonna reload you have to..somehow....get like a hitter at some point. At least one of our 9 guys has to be able to hit
  6. Getting 3 WAR in your first true season is-- really good. Also the days are over where superstar prospect bats get traded. All those first tier guys are staying where they are and you are gonna have to do homework to find the next tier's underappreciated guy, whoever he is If i have an issue with him it's the age and ceiling-left...but again - young bats really arent being traded these days
  7. JP Hoonstra says crochet will be traded very soon. if i'm crochet i buy a condo now and get real nice and settled here in chicago
  8. if the white sox liked me, i'd reevaluate everything
  9. Highest tier prospects were not traded at this deadline. People were going nuts on the return for Kikuchi though (though, no elite prospects involved). Info i'm giving you explains why there's a disparity there
  10. teams didnt value Fedde's results more than Kikuchi's pitch data (w/ bad results) then Kikuchi proceeded to be awesome and Fedde proceeded to suck the days are over where a team trading for a guy is only going to care about what they did recently results-wise
  11. I believe that was debunked and we later found out Grifol actually was lowest paid in MLB, or close to it.
  12. Look no further than Mark Kotsay though. If you enter a situation that is low spending and known to be bad, you can grow with them and stay for awhile if you are incident free. Pedro was hired in a win-now moment. Also look at Eberflus. You can make a lot of mistakes and have job security if you are lined up with the beginning of a GMs tenure..where the GM isnt working scared at all. And that doubly is Getz's situation rn, he's running this thing for a long time
  13. Has he gone on record at length about an analytics stance? Because he worked in LAA and has to know the deal-- saber decision comes up from FO and you are using it in the game. You have no choice. And especially him, he has no other jobs to interview for right now, and has already managed before. The saber thing should implemented and pushed by the FO; i dont need the manager to be an ivy leaguer. his biggest role (in 2024) is keeping players loose and motivated
