I mean sort of. It'll most likely just get buried with the NBA trade deadline up today.

Your serious right? You don't look around the sports world and think there's a problem with baseball?

Your welcome

If you need an example of the shifting landscape look what's happening in the NBA today and how it's taken over social media.

I read that article. Seemed to be a bunch of speculation and lots of questions left unanswered. What else was I supposed to get out of that?

Ok so your not going to answer my question.

I mean if the Padres sign him that's not a good thing in pretty much every aspect.

Cool so they are meeting with Harper for kicks? Give me a break.

You know what they probably do have though? Cash. Which is why their owners are meeting with Boras. It's kind of nice seeing a team serious about going after these players.

They signed Hosmer around this time so it's happened before.

Or you know....they actually sign him

I've argued this before on here. But does anyone think that the commissioner is really going to make the drastic changes this sport needs? I highly doubt it. Look I'm a millennial. Right now I'd say when discussing sports with people basketball and football take precedence over the others. Those games are faster and more offensive heavy. Not to say I don't like a good defensive battle during football. But the KC vs Rams game I think is a good indication of where people's mindset is with sports.

That's where I'm at too. It looks like you need attention. Dave definitely does.

It doesn't matter about trading good prospects for rentals. When you have lots of good prospects like the ones you traded it gets easier to make that move. I like that they just go out and make the deals without screwing around.

Right now they are. But they have the prospects to amp up their team pretty easily.

Just as a little side note from the last few pages....I like what the Reds are doing. Pretty much what I wanted us to do this offseason as a alternate to Plan A which was do nothing.

No praise for falling short Gar Foreman....I mean Rick Hahn.

Damage control and praying that they look good next year.

Why? They need outfield help no matter what.

Absolutely nothing. All those burner accounts and rumors of the past few days. What a surprise none of them have materialized.

I mean....he's been saying the same thing since he got traded here. Nothing new there.

I've never been panicking at any point in this process. I'm just not impressed with the "Hey we actually got a seat at the table this year!". Sorry but he's not getting credit if he doesn't convert on either player.

He's just setting himself up for the "Hey fans...we deserve credit for trying" excuse that Gar/Pax try to use. It doesn't work Rick.

I mean the Padres have talked to Manny's agent. You think they'll throw him a bid if he said he's not playing there?
