    Water is wet.

    I thought it was Keegan Thompson with glasses but it might be Ethan Roberts?
  3. Post Count Padder
    I saw a group photo of some of the team with Sosa and he was the only one I couldn't figure out. He looks different without glasses/rec specs ha.

    Snell Glasnow Yamamoto Sasaki Ohtani Gonsolin May and 4 guys coming off surgery and Miller, Knack, Frasso in AAA. Embarrassment of riches.

    No worries! We're all fans, some of us have favorites and memories and that's the point of these profiles. And sure!
  6. Post Count Padder
    Oh so that's how a good team operates.

    Ha I was considering a write-up of him soon. He was a fun story and a fun player. When the Cubs visited in Philly in 2021, I went to the game and inadvertantly ended up sitting with his family (was initially tipped off by a Cubs Schwindel jersey, who would buy that at that point in Philly?). He's from NJ and a bunch of his cousins came down for the series. They were super nice and when the game ended he came over to say hi and they introduced me to him. We chatted for a minute and took a photo. Later on I mailed him the photo and he signed and personalized it, He raked for the Ducks last year so I hope he gets another shot somewhere.

    Morejon would be a solid get.

    Jesse Winker back to the Mets and apparently the Mets expect Alonso to go elsewhere. Could he go somewhere like the Blue Jays and he or Vladdy take over DH? Seems to make sense.
  11. Post Count Padder
    That's disappointing. I had hoped maybe we'd get an interesting lower level prospect. Or some bonus pool cash.
  12. Post Count Padder
    You're killing me, Jesse. I've all but written off Scott as an option at this point. Insert "I thought I was out and they pull me back in" joke. We are not getting Pivetta. Before Rea or after Rea. If we add another starter it will be via trade.
  13. Post Count Padder
    I wouldn't be against the latter option. There have been a few pool space trades today already. Imagine we'll see more.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Could just be a negotiating tactic by Boras. But I don't hate the idea if it's a real possibility. And definitely gives us some options around the infield.
  15. Post Count Padder
    I really didn't like giving up both Hope and Ferris in that deal. But you gotta give something to get something and so far Busch has been as advertised and handled 1B pretty well. He's a long-term piece. Hope seemed far enough away that it might take some time but he advanced really quickly. I wish him the best but also "hope" he doesn't turn into an elite player we regret trading for years. That ranking still seems insanely high for this point in his career.

    Mastrobùoni traded to the Mariners for cash. Insert joke about cash having a higher oWAR next season or the cash just going right into the Trump fund instead of the organization

    You go with the best 26 guys. Assad has done nothing but show he belongs since he broke into the majors, whether you believe in his numbers/peripherals or not. If Assad is sent to Iowa to start the season solely because he has options then we've lost the bigger picture.
  18. Post Count Padder
    Colin Rea.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Well that's interesting.
  20. Post Count Padder
    Dang I wanted him. Gets a little less than Holmes did. I wonder if they use him as a starter. Basically swapped with the Phillies for Romano.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Yeah they can add Palencia or someone else. That was just a starting guess. But speaking of.... Our 40 man is full before the Rea signing. Someone is getting DFA'd or a trade is around the corner.
  22. Post Count Padder
    I'm still trying to make sense of this and if they are talking trade, then this makes a lot of sense as a safe and steady but unexciting back of the rotation filler. IF it is a trade, and I've been thinking, I really want to make something happen with Minnesota. Say Assad and Wicks and Caissie for Lopez and Jax and one of their infielders. Castro, Miranda and Julien have played around the infield and could be the stopgap at 3B and the backup elsewhere. But if they traded for Tucker, only to take him to arbitration and not really upgrade the team around him then I think it's time for a front office (and ownership) overhaul.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Augie Ojeda and Jose Macias vibes.
  24. Post Count Padder
    That's the only thing that makes sense to me, is that Assad is being used in a trade elsewhere. But I still don't love it. And if that's not the case, then I don't know. Maybe Jed butt-dialed Rea's agent.
  25. Post Count Padder
    How is this an upgrade? Am I missing something? I know it's not a lot of money but he's not better than Assad and we have other, more interesting long relievers.
