Then they need to hang onto him and hope he can recover enough value to get something at the deadline. If not... oh well. He'll take the Moncada route out of here.

Been saying for awhile this is the most likely outcome if they don’t trade him this winter.

Yeah I can't fully put the blame on "no protection" when it's more approach.

His aggressiveness is a bigger problem when teams aren’t going to pitch to him because there are no other threats in the lineup.  Having a real bat (or two) beyond him would make a big difference IMO.

that is a strangely worded article to me. kind of gets to the point in like the last sentences

I thought it was just me. I had to keep re-reading each paragraph thinking it didn’t make sense because of some major grammatical error. But there were no errors, and it was like the sentences were written “backwards” or something. Maybe it was AI generated.

I keep thinking a lot of these articles are written, not by AI, but by a foreign language AI. 

I sometimes run my own writing through ChatGPI. I'll get into arguments, late night, after a bottle of wine, with it. Asking for rhyming words for a particular word, I finally got ChatGPI to admit it doesn't really understand the concept of rhyming.

Honestly, a lot of Sportings News articles feel like they are AI generated.

“… the Mets have reportedly been interested in White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. While Chicago likely would not give up the oft-injured but very talented slugger… “

Uh… ya sure about that? 😆

All. The. Catchers.

There's no way in HELL that the Pirates are going to trade Jones for Robert...they believe his value is closer to Crochet's.

And they're certainly not going to add another "bigger" salary while getting rid of the much cheaper and younger centerpiece of their rotation.

For Davis+ without Jones being involved at all, sure.

 

We love to take on the baggage of former first round draft picks that fail elsewhere...and then try to "fix" them, usually failing somewhere along the way.   But especially when there's a dramatic position shift like catcher or 1B/3B to OF.  That's our specialty, right?
