    I never said they weren't, but he drags things out both in trades and in FA.
  2. Tryptamine
    Showcasing Neris or just because he was already up?
  3. Tryptamine
    No, I'm watching other teams fill needs and take options off the board while Jed does his usual slow play schtick. Putting your back up against the wall of the deadline works against him just as much as it helps.

    "Patrick Wisdom might have just saved the season". Nope, it's dead, but that was fun anyway.
  5. Tryptamine
    Good stuff Wisdom

    I know they don't have much to sell off, but good god Jed are we really keeping this entire horsefeathers show together and just hoping for better results in '25?
  7. Tryptamine
    I mean, he's a slighty worse hitting, slightly worse defensive Seiya. Either Seiya needs to be replaced in RF by a guy who can not be a total liability out there or Seiya needs to stay in RF but the DH has to be a significant enough bat to make tolerating Seiya's defense more palatable.

    So after an admittedly brief review, it looks like the slider and curve are nails, but the fastball is ass. This actually makes me kind of hopeful, This is something I think is right up the Cub pitch lab's alley.
  9. Tryptamine
    I get it, it's not a huge exciting move, but there is upside in this move to become a backend of the bullpen arm for very little prospect cost. Getting a guy who could be a part of your 2025 roster for some prospect fodder is a good thing.
  10. Tryptamine
    Looks like Agustin Ramirez is the guy headlining the package. I actually quite liked him as an option if Taillon had ended up heading to New York.
  11. Tryptamine
    It's nothing major for sure, but this is the exact kind of guy who could become a Merryweather for us in 2025. The pen was already looking very exciting for 2025, if they can get Pearson ironed out, we could be talking one of the better pens around.
  12. Tryptamine
    For the love of god Tom, this is exactly why people give you horsefeathers.
  13. Tryptamine
    They're both fodder in my eyes. Rivera has been massively disappointing.
  14. Tryptamine
    Rivera was severely disappointing
  15. Tryptamine
    Yohendrick Pinango is the guy going back.
  16. Tryptamine
    I actually quite like this depending on the return. Pearson has very good stuff, he just gives up way too much hard contact.
  17. Tryptamine
    Formerly a high level prospect, his MLB career has been a dud. High strikeouts, fairly high BB%, Very high HR/FB%. Stuff is there if they can Merryweather him.
  18. Tryptamine
    Oh this is just about a guarantee. They'll still pick around 11th somehow.
  19. Tryptamine
    Even if it's a 100 point of OPS type of bad luck, he still isn't very good. He needs to be a 130 wRC+ masher to provide value with his defense or if he wants to be a full time DH>
  20. Tryptamine
    Their 12th loss in a row tonight. They had 14 in a row earlier this year.
  21. Tryptamine
    The offense has scored 9 runs in 7 games since the ASB. I continue to double down on that every dollar of FA money needs to go into bats.
  22. Tryptamine
    I'd be absolutely baffled by moving Seiya unless Jed is all in on Soto this offseason.
  23. Tryptamine
    Is it really that hard just to say, " I like Brady and think he's very good, I wish we would trade for him" rather than what's above?
  24. Tryptamine
    Pretty much this. Cub tickets could be $10 and I'm still not going because I refuse to let Ricketts have my money.
  25. Tryptamine
    This seems like a significant win for Philly. "Hays hit just .111/.200/.111 in 50 trips to the plate prior to that IL stint but has returned with an excellent .313/.363/.509 slash in 125 subsequent plate appearances" He's pretty consistently around 105-110 wRC+, under control for 2025 and is ok in LF with the ability to fill in at CF if need be.
