    Neely could probably step into the bullpen today.
  2. Tryptamine
    Wow, Cowles is actually kind of exciting. He drastically decreased his K% this year and is torching AA for a 141 wRC+. He is 24, so age isn't on his side, but I do like him.
  3. Tryptamine
    He who shall not be named, Crochet and league average catcher. Now that would be a super exciting 2025 team.
  4. Tryptamine
    No. You'd have the following coming off the books Bote- 5.5M Smyly- 8.5M Kyle- 16M Neris- 9M Gomes- 6M Mancini- 7M Barnhart- 2.5M Obviously you wont get all of this with arb raises and adding Parades, but it should be around 40M.
  5. Tryptamine
    They'd still have 40M to spend on bats
  6. Tryptamine
    You know what, screw it. Go and get Crochet. Getz doesn't seem to have a clue what he's doing and they want minor league bats. See if they'll take a package with Caissie and Triantos as the headliners. Steele/Shota/Crochet/Taillon plus one of Wicks/Assad/Brown/Horton is a really strong rotation.
  7. Tryptamine
    I am completely baffled at what is going through Getz's head
  8. Tryptamine
    There's a lot of risk. There's the well documented injury risk, there's his ever climbing K% and his defense seems to be in decline too. On top of that, the White Sox were rumored to be asking for a Soto like return. I don't blame teams for not wanting to empty the farm for a guy who is trending the wrong direction.

    Surprisingly slow deadline day so far. I know we'll likely get the usual half dozen to dozen trades in the last 2 hours, but there have been none so far today that I'm aware of.
  10. Tryptamine
    They should still have a fair bit of money to spend with all of Smyly, Kyle, Bote, Mancini, Barnhart, Gomes, etc all coming off the books. Just between Kyle and Smyly that's like 25M. If I remember right, even if Bellinger stays, if Neris is gone, they have like 40M.

    Despite my previous post, I don't know that it's fun or enjoyment as much as it is like a car crash in that you can't take your eyes off it. In this scenario there was the initial car crash then 30 seconds later another car crashes into those cars and this continues on perpetually. At this point I've convinced myself the White Sox are going to do something monumentally stupid like try and attach Benintendi's contract to Crochett.

    More fun WSox facts following the 15th loss in a row. The WSox have not won a game on Monday this season.
  13. Tryptamine
    As good as anywhere else. Welcome.
  14. Tryptamine
    I'd almost be surprised if Crochet is moved after this demand for an extension if a team wants him to pitch in October. At the very least I'd think it would impact the package teams will give up if they then have to pay him too.
  15. Tryptamine
    Over/under 5 bases stolen on Amaya tonight?
  16. Tryptamine
    Bah PCA smoked that
  17. Tryptamine
    Good recovery
  18. Tryptamine
    Taillon isn't fooling anyone early on
  19. Tryptamine
    They didn't scratch Taillon so pretty safe to say he isn't going anywhere.
  20. Tryptamine
    Really does look like Taillon stays with the Cubs, which I'm completely fine with.
  21. Tryptamine
    It's not exactly the same, but this isn't all that far off from the Cubs trading Taillon+Leiter+Tauchmann. If Jed got the same return the WSox got, I would be so pissed off.
  22. Tryptamine
    He's basically worse Nico, but with one standout year that had twice the defensive value of every other year.
  23. Tryptamine
    Something isn't right about this trade. CHW got completely hosed if there is not a big piece missing.
  24. Tryptamine
    So maybe the Cardinals aren't giving up anything else after all. I can't believe they got Fedde+Pham for Edman who hasn't even played a game this year and only has one more year of control.
  25. Tryptamine
    So as of now we have LAD Gets Edman+Kopech STL Gets Fedde+Pham CHW Gets Vargas+Perez+Albertus+Miller Cardinals prospects still coming
