Squirmin' for Yermin

Gosh I would hate that trade.

This would be fine.

For one year?? Sure.. But Abreu's next 2 years will be full time DH.. Castellanos can not be a full time RF with Eloy in LF. Recipe for disaster

This to me appears to be the best track going forward (barring any major RF or SP tracks)... Minus the Castellanos. He has no role here anymore (Thanks Abreu....)

Yeah I'd agree. Did not know this.

I would love to bring in Taijuan Walker 1 year 5 million with incentives. Team option for 12 million. I'd rather see a Walker signing than a Bumgarner/Kuechel at 20 million per year.

In the second half of last year Darvish was probably a top 5 pitcher.. I'd love him. But right, what would he cost?

Couldn't disagree with this more.. But that's okay.

agreed... But we are just looking at all options... and there don't appear to be that many that are good SP that wouldn't require one of our top 4 prospects... I think we have to take on a rough contract (Sale, Darvish, Price, etc).

Honestly this is the scenario I keep pondering in my head... What would it take though. He isn't a straight salary dump by any means. Dunnings ++?

They should kick the Mets tired freaking hard.

Familia and Conforto for Dunning, Collins, + Who says no?

Conforto would be a dream. I'd be more thanfine with Nimmo though.

I have thought all night and day about where do we pivot and readjust now... No one on the market makes sense (except Strasburg, who we aren't after)... The only things that make sense is go heavy on hitters and create a mashing squad... ORRR call up the Cubs (Darvish) or Red Sox (Price or.... Sale).. Those appear to be the only reasonably aquireable SP that could actually help and wouldn't cost any of our top 4.

Price isn't worthless. I don't think they'll give you Benni for free essentially.

I'd rather have Hamels for 1-18 than Bumgarner for 4 years -18 per

please no

I did always enjoy the stair down

You know less than Jon Snow.

This isn't at all a MadBum thread.. We are talking about what's next.. Maeda, Price, Boston, Robbie Ray.

Maeda is a good SP.. I'd love having him.. The Dodgers always toyed with him and would rarely allow him to go past 6 IP no matter his pitch count. I've had him on my dynasty team for many years so i've followed him decently well.

I would not hate this. This may actually be the best option available at this point

is there any rumors to MadBum to the Angels? That would be ideal to up our chances to Stras.... No way twins would go that high for him

I just don't knw what to do now with the Starting Pitching (realistically)

I'll gladly take Darvish if that's who you're referring to
