    Any time now Jed. He's so incredibly frustrating.

    Carolina has to do one of two things. They can't run out Bryce Young again on a team that is playoff quality team in most aspects other than QB. They need to either A) just throw a horsefeathers ton of picks at the Bengals for Burrow, it doesn't have to be specifically Burrow, but a proven youngish QB or they need to move into the top few picks in the draft and start fresh. Sadly Mendoza to Oakland at #1 is almost a foregone conclusion at this point, but Dante Moore is a nice option too.

    Caissie and Alcantara is probably near the asking price on Pablo Lopez alone.
  4. Tryptamine
    They seriously need to move on from Bryce Young. Yeah he's kind of playable now, but that's about it.
  5. Tryptamine
    I was saying the same thing 20 minutes ago. The Bears would wreck both of these teams.

    Caleb makes that throw that Mayfield just made to miss that TD he's getting non stopped dragged by the announcers.

    I'm all for Crosby if 2026's 1st can get it done, but as i mentioned in a different thread, In no way in hell am i giving multiple 1sts for Crosby.
  8. Tryptamine
    What must it be like to know that no player is off limits. That you can look at a list of FAs and not have to skip half way down the page to find the guys that have any possibility of signing with your team.

    Does this keep them out on Bichette now?
  10. Tryptamine
    Okamoto has to be finished by mid day on the 4th right? If so, we're almost certainly going hear something in the next few hours.
  11. Tryptamine
    I mean, when was the last time the Cubs went out got the one of the top guys in FA? You could argue Dansby, but before that offseason most had him as the 4th best SS available. It has obviously worked out pretty well. Is it Jason Heyward back in 2016?
  12. Tryptamine
    You're way too optimistic about this. I think the odds of this are sub 50%.
  13. Tryptamine
    I don't know, Toronto seems like the front runners on Tucker, there's no way they could do Tucker and Bichette right?
  14. Tryptamine
    I'm sure Jed did what Jed does. " I know just about everyone is expecting you to get a 6 or 7 year deal but I can offer you a 3 year deal with slightly higher AAV and an opt out after the 2 year. How about that?"
  15. Tryptamine
    They were more or less a .500ish team for 2/3s of a season too. From June 3rd through the end of the year they were 54-48
  16. Tryptamine
    They just beat the ever loving horsefeathers out of Bama, damn.
  17. Tryptamine
    Are we just ignoring the entirety of the time in the minor leagues, the scouting reports or that Shaw was worth twice as much fWAR last year even though they hit similarly because Shaw has become a plus defender at 3B and looks to be a 25-30 SB guy? Please don't make me defend Shaw, it makes me feel gross.
  18. Tryptamine
    How can the worst team in the league only be a -8 almost half way through the season, that seems crazy to me.
  19. Tryptamine
    So guy with broken hand is not worth a big contract if he has to perpetually play with a broken hand. Noted.
  20. Tryptamine
    That feels like a drastic overpay. 6 Years of Shaw and Alcantara for 3 years of Cabrera and a guy whose upside is bench bat.
  21. Tryptamine
    Does the rest of the season where he doesn't have an injured hand not count?
  22. Tryptamine
    Not letting myself believe it for one damn second https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/yankees-cubs-dodgers-have-checked-in-on-bo-bichette.html
  23. Tryptamine
    You find me the RFer who is going to post 4.5 fWAR in a down year on the cheap. I'll be waiting.
  24. Tryptamine
    Yeah if they're getting a bat it almost has to come from FA, making a SP trade the obvious route, but it's Jed so I have zero expectations for anything substantial. With Jed it's always the same, you know he wont shop at the top of the market so you look at the 2nd tier FA where they should be, but then realistically he's going to shop a tier or two below that too.
  25. Tryptamine
    If I were to set odds I'd put them like this at the moment They go into 2026 with a worse team than they left 2025 50% They go into 2026 similarly as good as they left 2025 40% They go into 2026 with a better team than they left 2025 10% Right now without Tucker I don't think there's any question the current squad is worse than it was at the end of the 2025 season.
