If he didn't have the name, people would honestly think his trade ideas are just some random message board follower and not a former General manager. He's absolutely clueless.
I think Jed has to decide by tonight which direction he's going in order to give him enough time to have the discussions with other teams he's going to need to have before the deadline approaches. He doesn't have to necessarily pull the trigger yet, but general frameworks have to be discussed.
That and their farm, even pre trade, was absolutely terrible. If Ohtani leaves they were looking at several years of rebuild whether they traded him or not.
Of course trade could be involved, it was a 30 second post to show that they very easily could get there. Also, that 31 year old Matt Chapman is playing at a 5.5/162 fWAR pace this year.
Correct, but I also don't expect Taillon to be near as bad. So while the added FA pitcher probably wont be as good as Stroman was, 2024 Taillon will likely be substantially better than 2023 Taillon
Point made, but you're severely underselling Quero. He's 20 years old in AA with a 17.1 BB% and and 16.5% and while the SLG hasn't showed up this year, he had a .530 at age 19 in A last year.
