    Or Aliendo. Barring a veteran added as a minor league free agent.

    I was kinda going off MLBTR predictions and where the market currently is but I would be glad to be wrong and we get some of these guys a little cheaper.

    OK with Bellinger gone, Cerami predicts we have about $40 mil we can spend rest of the offseason. So what about: Yates and Minter: maybe 20 mil total Trade for Luzardo: 6 mil Sign Kim or Moncada for bench/3B: 10 mil? Another reliever or OF bench bat for 5?
  4. Post Count Padder
    Yeah if Mastrobuoni and Vasquez are still in contention for a main bench spot then the rest of the offseason went poorly and/or a bunch of people died.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Good thing the season doesn't start tomorrow. They're going to add at least one notable bench bat. And assuming they're hoping to add a couple pitchers shortly.

    Poteet has some interesting numbers but that is quite an underwhelming and disappointing return. It's basically a straight salary dump and maybe you get a middle reliever out of it.

    Excuse me while I vomit.

    I have really been on the fence about Bellinger. Our team is better with him. It would be nice if we could just throw luxury tax caution to the wind and compete with the best team possible. I do wonder if the Yankees are finally caving on the salary retained or we caved. Or we found another trade partner. The Phillies always seemed like an obvious fit.

    No offense but Carson Kelly should be glad he was even scheduled for a press conference.

    Phillies are gonna want more than Bellinger for Bohm. I suppose there could be some 3-way trade like: Phillies get: Bellinger, Mariners prospect like Tai Peete and they can have Ben Brown back Cubs get: Castillo, Bohm Mariners get: Hoerner, Phillies prospect like Griff McGarry, Cubs prospect like Drew Gray But I'm not sure that works for everyone. I guess the pieces could be there. I also don't fully get why the Phillies would move Bohm. There's no one knocking on the door at 3B yet and he took a step forward at the plate and in the field while still being relatively cheap.

    Given he's coming off injury, I wonder what you could do there, adding Nardi to it because lefty reliever. The Marlins have a real lack of power, wonder if you could do Caissie and Mervis (someone has to want him right?). Heck, their catching situation is Nick Fortes, one of the worst hitters in baseball, and a smattering of guys who haven't reached the majors. Throw in Thaiss!

    I think I was expecting like 2/15 so that's not far off but a nice deal. Also has a mutual option for a 3rd year.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Gawd what would the cost be to get Alcantara and Andrew Nardi?

    https://x.com/MLBNetwork/status/1867674391485853724/photo/1 Announce the extension already
  16. Post Count Padder
    Well I DID recently write about Kevin Orie on this very site! Maybe once Randall Simon is done fixing sausage races he can be a bat off the bench.

    screaming crying throwing up
  18. Post Count Padder
    I think something else to consider is our OF is now Happ - PCA - Tucker. Best defensive OF in the NL?

    CRASH THE BOARD, CRASH THE BOARD, CRASH THE BOARD.

    There it is
  21. Post Count Padder
    I didn't know that and that sucks but if I stopped rooting for any athlete who voted R then I probably wouldn't be watching sports.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Also this is happening because I'm a card collector and have a Cam Smith 1st Bowman card and an Isaac Paredes autograph redemption card due in the mail today.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Considering all the names thrown out, this is fine. I like Paredes and I like Cam Smith but Kyle Tucker is an elite OFer. I was prepared for a worse deal if it happened. Wesneski is another guy I like but we have the depth there. He's not irreplaceable.
  24. Post Count Padder
    I can't believe Jed is doing it. I'm excited. Tucker is so damn good. Even if it's just for one year, puts us in the driver's seat in the division. And maybe he likes playing here and considers an extension. It's not crazy.
  25. Post Count Padder
    Because I am both bad at reading and everything is going looney toons.
