  1. I think this tells you all you need to know about their likelihood of being involved with Ohtani.
  2. 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.
  3. Then they're going to be really pissed once mlb suspends Mikolas for intentionally hitting Happ in a few days.
  4. His FB% is down, but his ld% is drastically up and his gb% is fairly similar. I don't see an issue.
  5. Take 2 of the next 3 and Jed basically has to buy.
  6. Mets got a pretty significant haul from Miami for Robertson
  7. Shocking I know, but of course Cards Talk thinks the umps are out to get them and want more players beaned. A classy bunch over there.
  8. Amaya is still on the roster, right? He hasn't seen the field since the 23rd.
  9. Cincinnati better be praying that wasn't an achilles injury
  10. They can be aggressive if it's multi year pieces, but yeah anyone like Eduardo Rodriguez, Josh Hader, etc. they have no business in being in on.
  11. Really the QO only matters for mid tier free agents, it's almost a non factor for the guys like Bellinger who are looking at 150-200M pay days.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. Guy was already dead, you didn't have to shoot him again, damn.
  16. PCA in CF Chapman at 3B Mervis or FA at 1B One of Urias/Nola/Yamamoto in the rotation One of Brown/Wicks entering the rotation
  17. If they're on 82 win pace next year something has gone terribly wrong and Jed is probably gone following the season.
  18. 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.
  19. They had better not pull another stunt where the Russian athletes get to go under a different name like that Olympics a few years ago. I believe it was "Russian Olympic Committee" or some nonsense which basically made the punishment worthless.
  20. I actually kind of think that with Stroman pitching so badly over this stretch that maybe we've reached the point where the return isn't going to be worth not giving it a go for the division.
  21. Take 3 of 4 and they're definitely in buyer's territory, maybe even 2-2. 1-3 or 0-4 and it's game over.
  22. Well this isn't good for their chances of winning or Stroman's trade value.
  23. Syndergaard for Amed Rosario was an interesting trade. If anyone can get Syndergaard right it's Cleveland.
