If we can’t trade Kimbrel I am fine with him staying. W we have options at 2B. We have a real good team If they end up keeping Kimbrel, signing another reliever with their “last” 7mil doesn’t seem like the best usage of limited resources. I honestly would have rather used that money to sign Cesar than rely on internal 2B options while pulling Leury out of the super-sub role. However, I am on board with bringing back Rodon.

But yes, let's hear again about my age or something to further prove how it doesn't bother you. Got a mama joke too?

It's a shame because I considered them friends on this site. Until i ripped on our MLB front office for their mlb evaluations (which, in my eyes, has since been validated by harold's left leg saying they wildly misunderstood the market). Lesson learned dont disagree with either of them or you're a problem I am pretty sure this poster is NSC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have those players you don’t need another big fish, you need smart signings which help compliment the “team”. Any idiot can identify what free agents are the best or trade Chris Sale and identify which prospects to ask for…it’s much tougher to make the signings which are less obvious and that’s what separates championship teams (and front offices) from the rest! 100% agree with this point of view. It's the best approach for any team, not the Yankees or Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradMc Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) They"ll never say it but I will. A lot of these Tier 1 Free Agents just don't want to be bothered with Jerry Reinsdorf. Torri Hunter played Reinsdorf like a Stradivarius. Machado and Harper were even worse because of the holy hell they sent the base through in using Reinsdorf for leverage to secure better deals elsewhere. Max just outright admitted it.

If Scott Boras is the reason, then CWS ownership/senior management can"t be considered major players. A seat at the table ? More like second-rate seat warmers.

Will be interesting if LA ends up with Rodon, Montas and L.Castillo also being discussed as trade options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
