    lol we should come up with some kind of HOF for these exiled posters. We've had some all timers over the last 2 decades.

    Yankees DFAd Marco Luciano, who they got recently from the Giants. Former top prospect and still 24. If he has options remaining, would be a nice get.
  3. Post Count Padder
    It has felt for a bit that we're waiting for Gallen to fall into our laps.
  4. Post Count Padder
    Yeah I want Alcantara to win the 4th OF spot but Carlson and McCormick are great buy low options as a fallback.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Hey I'll take a flyer on Carlson too. Some people saying that it's McCormick because a Carlson signing hasn't happened but that looks like Carlson with a beard.
  6. Post Count Padder
    oh good lord I remember that
  7. Post Count Padder
    This is a solid low-cost pickup. He was great in 2023 and I think dealt with an injury in 2025. At the very least gives us depth and another option as a backup OF.
  8. Post Count Padder
    Yeah that's fair. He's a bit away but comes with promise clearly. Yeremy Cabrera is the other prospect going to WSH. Some potential in this group but seems like they went for quantity.
  9. Post Count Padder
    So that would be like us giving up, what......Wicks, Rojas, Christian Hernandez and Cole Mathis? Plus whoever else. Think it really depends on what ceiling you have for Fien. Guess the Nats are enamored.

    I cannot wait to see what the return is It was so breaking that jon used a semicolon instead of a colon
  11. Post Count Padder
    Feels like a heavy overpay on two Top 50 prospects for one year of Peralta. Good to have Peralta out of the division but you know Williams will be a leadoff hitter pest against us for years and Sproat will be Peralta all over.

    Look up one post.

    I was coming of age in the late 90s/early 2000s and so I loved David Kelton, Corey Patterson, Nic Jackson and Juan Cruz and thought all of them could be stars. Also came to really like Brendan Harris and Francis Beltran and Brian Dopirak and Bobby Brownlie. Not a single one panned out.

    Didn't think it would actually happen. White Sox definitely held on too long.
  16. Post Count Padder
    He's not a memorable Cub in a good way but Ryan Pressly retired and joined the Twins front office.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Yeah if we get Gallen then I expect Taillon and/or Rea to be dealt. Gallen is definitely not a need now but that rotation would have some serious potential.
  18. Post Count Padder
    Even then, he seems like more of Tyler Austin competition or a safeguard against Ballesteros being bad/injured. He is really a DH who can play 1B and OF (but not well).

  20. Post Count Padder
    Ideally Hoerner is the one brought back but Happ is also well liked and he loves it here so there's a non-zero chance he signs a team-friendly extension by the end of the summer.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Yeah that's a nice low-risk signing. He could be this year's Keller.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Another huge signing Iowa bullpen depth. His numbers are pretty garbage but he did well in winter ball this year and his fastball hits the upper 90s.
  23. Post Count Padder
    That's not unreasonable for Realmuto in a vacuum but taking the rest of the offseason into account it's underwhelming and typical of the Phillies FO the last couple years. Band-aid fixes and additions at the fringes. They shelled out to keep Schwarber, yeah. And he's well liked here by everyone and still mashes. But the Phillies still feel one or two pieces away and they're not making that jump. They are now basically running back the same roster from last year's disappointment. Add in that they have a malcontent and overpaid Castellanos still on the roster.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Yeah I kinda wonder if Steve Cohen is so mad that he just blows past the Yankees' offer to get someone, anyone. Both the Mets and Yankees are having brutal offseasons. Yankees missed out on everyone by holding a months-long staring contest with Bellinger.
  25. Post Count Padder
    And also the Mets miss out on another guy lol
