I tend to agree. I was a skeptic but the speed of the moves feels like classic Kenny.

This trade is real good - like it a lot. Like a lot. These are live arms.

That is what I thought too.

Seems like a type of guy with high upside - with right development team. Sox aren’t it - but I still can’t argue what they got. He has some tools. Graverman was valuable though - he is a solid reliever and a good get for Houston.

Absolute worse part of football/sports.

This - I don't want Hahn here and they better not be here past this season - but just not trading Gio and getting a comp pick - that would have been a far bigger mistake.

I just hope they sign some one year guys to prove it deals hoping they can flip them. Spend the money on ST deals and hope you can than churn something for assets to help. Most important - need full organizational cleans this off-season. I get it - if you canned everyone now you'd have no front office to make any of the moves - so while I wish we made the move 2 months ago and had others around - I just have to live with at this point - not much you can do here. Hahn wasn't awful though at seller(s) trades - its probably one thing he did decently to be honest. It is the team BUILDING and Drafting and Developing that he is awful at. But if they actually are given another chance at next year - man that may be the final straw haha.

I have no issue with this - I also like them getting to work now. They have a lot of players to move and I don’t mind pulling a chip here now - Angels wanted to move fast too - so they were aggressive. Seems fair. Don’t love the players but both seem like legit prospects - but paired with Sox dev team….uh oh. Still - this allows you to have a few more days to move another 5-7 players and on the next waves they are going to have to dig deep on their scouting etc - cause the blue chippers aren’t coming.

Jenkins had some bumps last training camp before having a great season. Bears clearly used those to set/make a hard line stance with Teven around expectations etc. Those seem to be paying off…maybe this is the same with Claypool. Hopefully a year from now we are talking about him coming off a killer season and a strong offseason of work.

We have the Elgin Baylor of baseball GMs.

I like low scoring losses where TA gets hits. Boost his trade value and pitchers trade value and let’s keep losing to twins. Force change.

Nice to have World Cup on. Game times are pretty solid too - at least as a West coaster.

Hopefully Ayo can see big growth after suffering sophomore slump. If he doesn’t - we just three 7M down drain cause last years performance was not worth 7M.

Small sample size - but Timmy is hitting .375 since the break.

Nice - have fun!

Sounds like as good a time as any.

Wow - I am surprised it is that much for baseball. That is a big deal. Getting a scholarship plus low 6 figures to play ball and than potentially get drafted. It isn't like 4th/5th rounders get that much.

They call it a 14 - named after Paulie!

I actually don’t mind if Bulls flipped Lavine for young guys and picks and than gave Derozan a 2yr extension or something. Let Derozan and Vuc be good vets around young players - and than add and build and than star up. That is actually what I would probably do at this point. Maybe Blazers give us their top pick plus Simmons for Lavine and their pick and Ayo. No idea why - but help facilitate Dame deal or add 4th team in mix such as Philly who I think would be stellar fit for Lavine. I will point out though - as flawed as Lavine is as the alpha dog - he is a freaking super efficient scorer who crushed it 2nd half of season and given all these recent contracts his 40M don’t look too bad.

Now if they want to get in on a Lillard deal with Blazers - I’d be good with Simmons and Hero. No clue what Portland would get beyond Lavine, but Lavine gets to Pacific Northwest…bulls get younger…use Derozan as the mentor with Vuc. Roster all of a sudden a heck of a lot more flexible too. No earthly idea why Portland would do that - but they paid Grant and I think wanted to keep Lillard so maybe they don’t want to fully tear it down and would be fine with a Lillard for Lavine swap. Gets them younger - Lillard is better but older.

Maybe a sweep tomorrow seals is and HAhn gets canned before 4th of July.

Grant is good and I will admit - even though I don’t think Patrick Williams is going to be a good starter in this league - he seems to be putting in work and hopefully he can surprise us and really take some bigger steps forward.

Aaron Gordon plays more like a 4 though and they also have Jokic at 5.

I get it - but these were the type of moves he should have made last offseason as insurance for Ball. He didn’t and thus the franchise wasted a year in pure mediocrity. If they wanted to roll - at deadline upgrade the position - no excuse find a way…that way they could have figured out this past year whether there was more upside or not. Now they are semi locked in. Not totally cause you can always flip switch this deadline I suppose. With that said - I didn’t mind what they did. None of the moves so far stink - it’s more I don’t see them being enough to be more than a 6/7/8 seed and a team that doesn’t have upside beyond that as constructed. Isn’t Brogdon in last year of his deal. I know he gets hurt but why not him?

They have went two years - akme is hAhn. No excuse. If you need to flip other parts, you should have done it.
