    If that's the case, give me Connor Joe or Mark Canha and I would love to work out a deal to keep Workman. I think at the very least he'd be a solid defensive backup around the infield. I think we did something similar a few years ago to keep a Rule 5 pick in the system. All that said, I'm not loving the lack of power on the bench,

    Hey, get excited, we have our backup middle infielder! One year deal worth $2 million. He's not a bad depth guy but these feels an awful lot like settling. Good defender, no power. And it's his birthday today.

    Not a bad get if it's a MiLB contract. If he's requiring a 40-man spot then we truly are dumpster diving.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Oh it's super intentional.

    Idk how legit these guys are but it would be an odd thing to make up. Guess this is our 3rd catcher going into the season, barring an opt-out. Seems like a handy guy to have around.

    I saw the Yates news ands couldn't help but laugh. Like, what else can you do at this point. And at this point, I'm all in on one year for Robertson and/or Jansen, unless the Dodgers sign them too. Gotta make a move now, Jed. Waiting game is over.

    I've been ok with Canario being the 4th OF. He has no options and I think he can hit enough to hold down the role. At least give him a shot at it before throwing in the towel on him.

    Water is wet.

    I thought it was Keegan Thompson with glasses but it might be Ethan Roberts?
  11. 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!
  14. Post Count Padder
    Oh so that's how a good team operates.
  15. Post Count Padder
    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.
  19. Post Count Padder
    That's disappointing. I had hoped maybe we'd get an interesting lower level prospect. Or some bonus pool cash.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
