I'm prepared for us to trade Dylan Cease to Kansas City.

You've made me a believer in the tall shortstop.

We went from proposing trade routes to tariffs to open declarations of war. I just checked Lombard's height. This makes sense.

We've not made a single new point in like, 3 weeks. Why would they be bothered?! dear god we need a rumor

They're figuring out if the second bench coach counts as a roster spot.

Dylan Cease is a swingman at best in Baltimore. Worth their #30 prospect...maybe.

But have you considered that Pedro needs help in the locker room?

?

I picked the White Sox for both. One is realistic, the other has amazing payout out for a $5 bet.

They could, but as far as those two teams know, the Bears can always 1) Trade to another team (Raiders, Giants, etc.) for a higher price and take Nabers. It's not MHJ, but he provides some cover for a bluff. 2) Keep the pick and take Williams/Maye for themselves and trade Fields to a team like Atlanta.

To me, the TLR emoji means pure bewilderment.

Chris Flexen could do that in his sleep.

Dude wrote a whole spiel about how sports journalists need to be better after the Ohtani jet thing, including himself. Dude.

Is there any chance that Chris Flexen gives us a month better than Mat Latos' first month in 2016?

Read the barrel of the cannon

If Grissom is in the mix, I'm very ok with this.

Sweet mostaccioli, he's the one you said would be too much. At this rate, I'd be shocked if you'd move the fans that attended the game on April 29, 2015.

If the Sox are good for anything, it's helping me improve my photoshop skills.

Is it not obvious?

Chris Getz asked the previous director of player development his opinion and he said no. Pedro needs shitty vets!

Like, what the f*** is the point of signing Tim Hill and Chris Flexen and DFAing guys like Luis Patino and Carlos Perez? Patino and Perez likely amount to nothing, but we know that Tim Hill and Chris Flexen are nothing, so we might as well see if we can get anything out of the young guys.

Good thing Kjerstad is #24 in that case ?

Not sign the corpse of Martin Maldonado or a net negtive pitcher in Chris Flexen. I'd rather let Korey Lee, Adam Hackenberg, and Carlos Perez have auditions for catcher behind Stassi, but instead we're going to trot out a guy that can't hit or play defense anymore. As for Flexen, well, once Cease is gone I'd literally rather give the following guys a shot over him: Soroka (youth, potential), Fedde (KBO reinvention, actual trade potential), Toussaint (youth, arb control), Kopech (what lingers of his potential, control), Scholtens (control), Shuster (lefty, youth, control), Nastrini (potential, youth, control), Mena (potential, youth, control), and even Eder (lefty, potential, youth, control) right now. Chris Flexen will turn 30 this season, is a bad right handed pitcher, can't strike anyone out and is an expiring deal. He's been with the team for one day and he's already scrap.

To be fair, I proposed a deal with only 1 top 100 guy (the Orioles #3 prospect at that) and you said that was too much.

I see you're a glass 1/10th full kinda guy
