    No one is doing this. No one is trying to hoard all the prospects. There's a big difference between that and saying they shouldn't use their best assets on a reliever at this point in time.
  2. Tryptamine
    At this point it's just from a Met's insider. Though it looks like Verlander may want out too.

    I have no interest in getting into a bidding war for Candelario https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/07/rizzo-nationals-have-eight-suitors-for-candelario.html

    So much weak contact today.
  5. Tryptamine
    It's kyle and Tom, this is bad for my blood pressure
  6. Tryptamine
    I'm not sure how that's relevant when I'm not saying he's untouchable. I'm saying if you're trading him, a reliever is the worst option.
  7. Tryptamine
    The point is he's a reliever and they are extremely volatile. It's possibly the worst way they could use their most valuable assets. If this was the 2016 Cubs you do it, but this team is from that.
  8. Tryptamine
    Jordan Hicks to Toronto so we wont be seeing him today.
  9. Tryptamine
    So basically all but 3 starting pitching prospects in the last 25 years should have been dealt for Bednar. That's a hot take even by your usual standards.
  10. Tryptamine
    What exactly is an elite pitching prospect? Prospects live has Horton as #26 on their midseason list. Is it top 20? 10? Price/Strasburg?
  11. Tryptamine
    3.5 years of a SP or position prospect sure, but I'm not interested in doing for a reliever
  12. Tryptamine
    More than 5, but you also acted like it was absolutely absurd when he's probably somewhere around #7-9 right now.
  13. Tryptamine
    There are lists that have him in the mid 30s already, it not that outlandish.
  14. Tryptamine
    This is not going well, Kyle getting shelled
  15. Tryptamine
    Well he put it in play, that's something I guess
  16. Tryptamine
    This is a move tha puts a contender over the top, which is not the 2024 Cubs. I'm not ready to give up a top 5, a top 10 and another guy in the 10-20 range for Bednar.
  17. Tryptamine
    And it costs them a run
  18. Tryptamine
    Yup, sitting Happ is going well.
  19. Tryptamine
    The cost would be enormous, hard pass.
  20. Tryptamine
    It just makes so much sense. The problem is that with this market it might cost you a guy like Caissie or Ballesteros which would make me quite sad.
  21. Tryptamine
    My preferences in order 1) Light buying, no big name rentals, possible acquisition of a guy under control beyond 23 2) Go ham with guys on deals beyond 2023 (Alonso, Cease, Sewald, etc.) 3) Sell Stroman, Bellinger, Gomes, etc. 4) Roll with what we have
  22. Tryptamine
    I suppose with Taillon returning to form and posting a 1.78 ERA over his last 4, it makes it more possible.
  23. Tryptamine
    They've been .500 or above in every month but that May disaster
  24. Tryptamine
    Notice no mention of Stroman. They won't actually try and thread the needle where they trade stroman and use the money/prospects to add to this year's team, right?
  25. Tryptamine
    Aaron Bummer's numbers are so confusing. A 6.69 ERA but 3.01 xERA, 2.40 FIP, 3.30 xFIP and 0 HR/FB%. His strand rate is a crazy low 48.1% and his babip is a high .351. His HARD% and MED% are both down from 2022 and his velocity is pretty much the same from last year. Is he actually getting crazy unlucky or is it something like he's broken when pitching out of the stretch?
