    I feel like the Dodgers' needs are definitely more pitching related than bat. Even if they can resign Kershaw they're still going to have to go after an arm like Keuchel.
  2. Tryptamine
    Losing 4 Years of Russell, for 1 year of Machado and then a 300+M FA contract in 2019, vs keeping 4 years of Russell and spending 350-400M on Harper. Pretty much a no brainer from my side.
  3. Tryptamine
    Sandy Alcantara, their #4 prospect is one of the guys going.
  4. Tryptamine
    God I want Yelich and then Harper on this team. That line up would be an absolute monster. Throw Happ,Almora,Alzolay and Ademan at them.
  5. Tryptamine
    I'd really love to see them lose 2 of Flaherty,Alcantara,Hicks,Gomber,Hudson or Gallen in this deal.
  6. Tryptamine
    I seriously would have been in the corner in fetal position clutching a bottle of whatever was close
  7. Tryptamine
    Damn, if Yelich is substantially more than that then we're definitely out.
  8. Tryptamine
    IF Detroit hadn't been so unrealistic and demanded Baez I'd agree.
  9. Tryptamine
    Why do people hate having elite defense up the middle? Trading Russell is a defensive downgrade at SS and whoever replaces Baez at 2B is a downgrade there as well. You don't sign Chatwood and then weaken the infield defense like that.
  10. Tryptamine
    I irrationally don't want to move Baez at all. I enjoy it far too much when other team's fans hate both Baez and Contreras for basically everything they do. It's nice to be on the positive end of that after so many years.
  11. Tryptamine
    So we're giving up a very good young player and eating an awful contract? Apparently that is his definition of "Win win".
  12. Tryptamine
    I think it's more that the Cubs want to get his deal done so they can move on, but Cobb wants to explore the market a little more. If reports are right he's getting more attention than any other FA starter left on the market.
  13. Tryptamine
    I really hope you're wrong unless someone really likes Happ a whole lot.
  14. Tryptamine
    With the Yankees in heavy on Cobb, I get the feeling that the days of hoping for 4/48 or even 4/60 are long gone and we're probably looking at something like 5/85 or 4/70 now.
  15. Tryptamine
    So you figure if things go really well 2M on Rene Rivera,10M on Morrow, 8M on Reed, does that even leave enough to go after Cobb and still have Harper money next year?
  16. Tryptamine
    All 2nd hand [tweet] [/tweet] Not as positive as the second hand comment, but I'll take take it.
  17. Tryptamine
    I'm pretty happy with this signing as long as the the other pitcher added is at least of Cobb quality.
  18. Tryptamine
    Agreed, if Ohtani happens to not work out where they have to grab Cobb and someone else, Mikolas was neck and neck with Chatwood for me.
  19. Tryptamine
    I just hope Theo and crew is completely thorough on all the Japanese customs. It would make a very positive impression if they were able to get through a dinner properly and avoided all the little snafus that most people don't know about. Drinking procedure included. Just for example, in Japan the number 4 is bad luck because it spelled "Shi" and to die in Japanese is "Shinu". Most buildings will skip the 4th floor etc.
  20. Tryptamine
    I almost thought I was still reading a Yankee message board.
  21. Tryptamine
    I get it, they're not letting Trubisky throw the ball much, but 102 yards? Time for Fox and Pace to get the axe.
  22. Tryptamine
    Would be thrilled to land Smyly on a minor league deal just in case his arm ever stays in one piece. I can't believe Chi Chi is already getting DFA'd. He's like 2 years off a top 100 listing.
  23. Tryptamine
    Orioles are supposedly after Almora. I put very little stock in this but it's slow. Anyways, outside of Gausman/Bundy there is no one I'd feel good about trading Almora for. http://www.12up.com/posts/5822867-report-orioles-express-interest-in-young-cubs-star?a_aid=40920

    Jay Jackson, one of my favorites when I first started really paying attention to the system. I was so sure that Jay was going to be a monster and Tony Thomas was going to be our 2B for years to come.
  25. Tryptamine
    If I had the ability to change one rule in MLB it would be this one. It's a very large advantage for team's like BAL and STL who basically carry top 10 payrolls as it is.
