Squirmin' for Yermin

I think that's far too much from BAL. But would absolutely do BAL and CLE here. I still would like a better headliner for Robert and don't love Crawford for his lack of power and terrible bb/K rate. I'd pass on this PHI deal.

This is what I expect as well.

No. I want quality, not quantity.

Damn. I love Smith but if we are focusing on hitting at 5 regardless, this would be the best outcome.

Is there a chance Condon falls?

They couldn't do it

yup. While Beni is completely worthless... 15 million isn't some albatross of a contract that should stop you from doing anything over the next 3 years.

You are nuts.

Yeah, but not a completely fair comp.. The Rangers had Creed on their side.

Yeah the pirates just couldnt get a robert deal done.

That feels about right. I'd try to swap Parada and Vasil for one guy higher though and make it a 2-1.

To be fair.. Didn't they have 2 number 1 picks and then a number 2 as well? Along with all their free-bie picks?

You are a joke.

Seems like Jimbo may has heard something? Who would this theoretically even be for? Seems like for Fedde

Abreu was the worst player in the entire league this year and one of the worst last year.. Do you have any clue what you talk about?

We need hitting Greg.

Their offer would suck. They couldn't get it done.

Murphy is out all this year and likely half of next for what it's worth

Doesn't the "ohtani rule" allow you to put him at P and not lose his hitting spot? Then he can return to 1B?

Nevermind.. i misread someting.

GOLDEN

Maybe I need to re-read on him

That would be the ideal 1-4 for us.. And then we go with Wetherholt.. grr.

So just to be clear, once a starting pitcher has one bad start, he has "gone off the rails" and turned into a bad prospect?

You just said Zavala was fine. Iriarte was amazing until his last 3-5 starts. Thorpe was one of the best pitchers in the minors. 2 days ago (prior to Thorpes start) I am sure you'd have said this trade was a fleece.
