    It's all going down now.
  2. Post Count Padder
    I did not see him going to Detroit. Wow. Wonder if the Orioles get desperate and offer Gallen a bunch of money.

    I still like Alcantara a lot but it seems we've seen "fatigue" with him in terms of rankings. He's up there, he hasn't gotten a real shot in the majors, other guys in the system have passed him and there's the chance he tops out as a 4th OFer. I don't know why, maybe it's the same thing because they've been in the system awhile, but I keep feeling like Ramirez and Rojas will never play for us. Like they'll bust or be used in a trade. I have nothing to base this on.

    He was at a golf event in Arizona talking about how much he loves it there and his wife is from there. Could be nothing but maybe he's holding out hope the Dbacks come back with some kind of offer. Or just the usual athlete speak.

    Now we definitely don't need Shaw
  6. Post Count Padder
    Also accused of domestic abuse. Hard pass. We have better depth options anyway.

    A low end top 100 prospect and two interesting OF prospects. And the comp picks. Maybe a little underwhelming but not a terrible return. An interesting wrinkle was the Mariners intending on Williamson being their 3B this year and used him in the deal. Also I liked Peete and Cijntje so I'm a little annoyed they went to STL. Feels like now Cijntje will pan out and Peete will be a pesky player against us for a few years.

    With Adames at SS and Chapman at 3B. Talk about a full spectrum of defensive competence in one infield.
  9. Post Count Padder
    Nico nor Shaw going to SF now. Arraez will be their 2B.

    Another old pal is joining Wisdom on the Mariners AAA squad: Michael Rucker. Was out of baseball last year but has been throwing a lot recently. I only know this because he is a card collector and he and I chatted on Instagram awhile back and he sent me some signed cards.

    Yeah I wasn't sure Hays was an option recently. And now with McCormick and Carlson lined up against Alcantara for the bench I don't think it was going to be likely we give real money to another outfielder, barring an attempt to add a big bat at DH/RF and Hays does not fit that bill.
  12. Post Count Padder
    David Robertson retired. Always liked him, even before the Cubs got him. And we still have Ben Brown to remember him by.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Yeah I don't see him fitting in now. He'll get a 2 year deal probably somewhere once Gallen and Framber are off the board.
  14. Post Count Padder
    I had kinda hoped they'd bring him back. What a waste of a move last year. He was hurt and bad and we gave up a good prospect for him. Should've given it another chance.
  15. Post Count Padder
    If he does well definitely him. Maybe Wiggins if he retains eligibility.
  16. Post Count Padder
    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.
  17. Post Count Padder
    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.
  18. Post Count Padder
    It has felt for a bit that we're waiting for Gallen to fall into our laps.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Post Count Padder
    oh good lord I remember that
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I cannot wait to see what the return is It was so breaking that jon used a semicolon instead of a colon
