    99 PAs is not an opportunity to seize it, especially when it's spread over over almost 45 days.
  2. Tryptamine
    We have to remember that Mervis was a pitcher until his Junior year of college, he's not like every other 25 year old.
  3. Tryptamine
    Sorry he's 25 years old, regardless of performance in AAA he's nothing, especially if he doesn't immediately rake upon promotion. If prospects aren't stars by 25 they're disposable washouts.
  4. Tryptamine
    Could Eloy play 1B?
  5. Tryptamine
    Are you sure he is even opting out at this point?
  6. Tryptamine
    I swear Seiya is 0-2 or 1-2 to start every at bat
  7. Tryptamine
    Mancini, all you had to do was not run directly into the 2B and there's no double play. Good god.
  8. Tryptamine
    Maybe Stroman won't be opting out after all
  9. Tryptamine
    I am 100% ok with this
  10. Tryptamine
    Good move pending the prospects
  11. Tryptamine
    I'm 100% okay with light buying, it's actually my preferred method. I would not be ok with them going out and spending prospect currency on Hader/ERod, etc.
  12. Tryptamine
    I could be convinced to look at Burleson if it was for someone in the prospect 15 or below range. He has underperformed this year, but there's enough there to dream on.
  13. Tryptamine
    Let me have my illogical hate of the franchise that had a star that wanted to play for them and they all but said, "no thanks".
  14. Tryptamine
    They'll give him an offer, it will just be about 5 years shorter than the rest of the offers.
  15. Tryptamine
    This sounds very similar to 2017 and 2018 where they didn't want to go deep into luxury tax territory because they wanted to be able to make a big move later. Then Harper was available and they did a big nothing.
  16. Tryptamine
    Good get on both sides. Cleveland gets the bat it badly needs. TB gets a solid starter.
  17. Tryptamine
    Depending on the cost, I could have some interest in Ty France. He's having a down year, but posted a 126 and 130 wRC+ the last 2 years. He doesn't have the usual 1B pop, he's more in the 15-20 HR range, but strong bat to ball skills. He's not a FA until 2026. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/07/mariners-willing-to-listen-to-trade-offers-on-ty-france-teoscar-hernandez.html

    Sometime after tonight's game because, though I do not agree with it, I think it's still very much on the table for Hoyer to do some light selling if they lose.
  19. Tryptamine
    Yup, otherwise he'd be far too valuable to be a third piece. His stuff is fantastic in the time he's healthy.
  20. Tryptamine
    ah yes, "saving their powder" , I feel like I've heard this a few times.
  21. Tryptamine
    Kjerstad is a great second piece, Hall is a take it or leave it for me. Cade Povich or Seth Johnson would have more appeal.
  22. Tryptamine
    I think he provides better bang for your return as well. He's not quite as good as Bednar, though xFIP and xERA like him more, He only comes with one year of additional control so he's a FA in 2025, but the price is likely significantly less. Seattle wants bats so I wonder if you could get him for Caissie and another like Roederer.
  23. Tryptamine
    If I'm Seattle that has got to be one significant plus and maybe even two.
  24. Tryptamine
    He'd be a secondary piece. If I'm guessing, the Pirates are probably asking for something like Alcantara, Wicks and Ferris which isn't unreasonable, but I'd much rather use that elsewhere.
  25. Tryptamine
    I'm just dreading the absolute worst option, which is the do nothing option. If you think they have a shot at the playoffs then add a few pieces even if they're cheap pieces that aren't huge upgrades. If you think they're not a playoff team then sell, but do not do absolutely nothing.
