It very well might. Have to wait and see what the reports are after the trade is complete.

Well forget about the Phillies

I'll be condescending. That's a stupid argument. If you don't see the obvious replies to that I can't help you.

Rick Hahn being trusted to fill out those spots no matter how many there are is the problem.

How can you say the approach is different too after the Manny debacle and listening to them about how they viewed their contract offers? They really thought having 2 less guaranteed years was a better offer than 10 years. That sounds like the same management to me.

I don't condemn the front office for what's been going on just lately. But their entire tenure here. Lets get that straight. It's not a "what have you done for me lately problem". More losing is only going to amplify it. I'll repeat again but I'm going to be on them until this team if it ever turns the corner.

AJ Reed would have needed a 5 iron to hit that ball

Moncada is deadly

The people who want another top 10 pick.

Some GMs don't deserve the chance because they cause more damage.

Well they "should" have been fired before the rebuild. But that didn't happen.

Look. Here's what it is atleast with me. My patience is pretty low because this is the same group of guys that haven't been able to build a winning club the entire time they've been here. Kenny sure but that was a while ago. If those guys had been fired and a new group had been brought in with a good track record there would be much much more patience on my end. But right now especially after the Manny debacle they can kick rocks. I'm going to be critical of them until I start seeing results.

I'll answer your last question. Zero. Beane is a far superior Exec. Stone ofcourse followed up this tweet with the "Stay with us or don't" as if he's completely deaf to the bullshit in politics this week.

They aren't. Plain and simple. It's very obvious that the front office has zero desire to do that right now.

It's because Jose isn't looking at the long term as Rick Hahn would say. Give it a decade. Then we'll be in Portland.

And he would be correct. Rick Hahn has done a piss poor job of even getting fillers on this team that can hold the fort.

See different from years past...still stink. But we're asking more. Making progress!! In 10 years we'll be at .500 again.

See here's the thing. If they want to compete next year why even think about moving them for whatever you can get? I'm pretty certain they don't want to do another overhaul of the pen again. I see you said 2021 on a post later. I don't think their goal is to start flipping the switch in that year. It should be next year. In any case if they still think 2020 is a rebuild year then free agency they should just stand pat.

Taking whatever you can get for Colome would be silly. He has another year of control.

I'd rather him not trade if the offers aren't good enough. He should be asking for a kings ransom for our relievers and accept no less.

You know what we could do is sell until the end of time. That way Rick will always have an excuse for why they are playing bad. Just keep the process going.

I'm sure Gerrit Cole can't wait to play on this team.

I see Rick had these guys ready to play after the all star break.

What are those idiots doing in the OF?

Man Luis Robert hit that HR to Mars. But he'll need to stay down for totally non service time related reasons.
