  1. Edwin Rios was outrighted off the 40 man so we now have a space open. Bummer that signing didn't work out but so it goes.
  2. I really am rooting for him. The talent was there before the injuries. Good article.
  3. Just trade some combination of Ryan Jensen, Cam Sanders, Luke Little to the Rox for Sutter and be done. He's been a solid lefty reliever for a few years now. Expand it to add Cron, maybe send Mancini to someone for a struggling starting pitcher in a challenge trade.
  4. Acuna seems like a lot to give up, even for Scherzer. It would be really funny if Kumar Rocker ends up as part of the return somehow.
  5. That's a pretty nice get but I imagine a lot of our slot savings go to him.
  6. A UCLA kid in the 17th round for the Cubs. Ethan Flanigan. CR, you have any insight as our resident fan?
  7. Have I missed something or why hasn't Wicks gotten the call up to Iowa yet?
  8. Surprised it took this long. Hosmer really hasn't hit all year and Mervis getting recalled created a logjam. I like Rios a lot on paper but he has barely played and I wonder how he'll be used. Just to have another body for a few days until they need a pitcher? I had a feeling they might send Keegan down to try and work out some kinks in Iowa. Hope he's not down for too long.
  9. Oh man I'm ecstatic. I love Happ and was starting to assume this wouldn't happen. Not only is he staying put but its a very reasonable contract. He clearly wants to he here.
  10. Happy Opening Day
  11. Only three years is a bummer but it keeps him locked in for a bit. Glad to have it.
  12. Bummer about McKinstry but this seemed like a logical conclusion. He'll get plenty of playing time in Detroit too. Looks like Morel starting the season in Iowa. Guessing they'd rather he get more at bats than he would as a bench guy to start.
  13. I honestly forgot he was taken. More upper minors depth.
  14. Steele is a 5 win pitcher Rios and wisdom each hit 30 HR Adbert is an all star and takes over the closer role. PCA makes his MLB debut this season.
  15. Torrens is fine but losing McKinstry for him is an odd choice. Also not shocked about Wick possibly being on the outs but Rucker has not impressed me. I'd hardly consider him a lock over other guys.
  16. Omg new forum. Thanks for helping me get logged in, Brock. I just realized it's been damn near 20 years since I joined this site 😳
  17. I actually posted this in transactions but we traded Quiroz to the Phillies for cash to help out PTR. I wonder what this means for Bote. I had assumed he'd get sent off to a needy team with the spring he's had but now he outlasted another depth option at Iowa. Or maybe none of this matters.
  18. Is it still technically the offseason? We traded Esteban Quiroz to the Phillies for cash. PTR is pleased.
  19. Ooo fun. Here's my incredibly researched take on the top 20 Davis PCA Alcantara Wicks Horton Wesneski Christian Hernandez Canario Cassie Palencia Ben brown Mervis Amaya Made Killian Herz Ferris Triantos Howard Mule (even with the TJS)
  20. This is upsetting. Was really looking forward to seeing how he handled the competition this summer.
  21. We signed Edwin Rios. Has massive power and can play the corners. Was wasted/blocked in LA. I like it but I'm shocked it's a MLB deal. Ethan Roberts to 60 day IL.
  22. Fullmer was a favorite target of mine going into the offseason, let alone now. I like it.
  23. Agree. And I still feel like there's some kinda Madrigal for AJ Puk trade to be made. Maybe it's wishful thinking. But that would pretty much set us up well.
