Eh, sure, it CAN happen.....But, you've got a horrible rep to deal with currently. Trading Jimmy hurts you somewhat too. You've got guys pairing up for super teams. That hurts. You've got a young roster that isn't attractive for immediate contention if you're getting a single guy.(at least for THIS upcoming year) And you've still got GarPax running the show. Who couldn't close when they had 2 guys who were elite at the time, to add around. Might not be 100% impossible, but the odds definitively aren't good. They ARE increasee with the addition of another elite youngster though. were jimmy and rose ever elite at the same time though? legitimately asking. rose hasn't been peak rose for a long time now. i think if enough of these guys continue to show promise the order is: try to package a few of them and picks for star #1, and hopefully that star is enough to attract star #2 via free agency.

yuuuup. i remember when this was also a thing that people said about the cubs. until it wasn't. circumstances change. is it the cold weather thing or the poor management thing that makes people believe this? or something else?

i mean, all but 4 of their players are 25 or younger. not that i was a fan of trading jimmy, but one that happened and they decided to tank, i was on board with rooting for a high draft pick obviously. but, maybe dumbass GarPax randomly stumbled into some talented young pieces? this does feel like a better situation than loading up the roster with disparate pieces like ancient Pau and broken down Rose and Noah to play an obsolete brand of basketball and make a run at the 4 seed every year. this team is fun so i say root for wins at this point. i'm still not sure they make the playoffs. but if they do, cool. and they may just have to shift gears to playing the free agency game to find their star rather than hoping for a top 3 draft pick.

oh yeah, this is the barstool Carl thing from a few years ago: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64015&sid=27d5fcac63113f6e1d5b98f1f60f827e

barstool is not at all a reputable reporter on the level of the big guys but its more legit than a wet butt type rumor so my guess is this is happening pretty sure the wetbutt dude had some kind of connection to barstool as they both had the quintana trade the night prior. wetbutt might’ve been barstool’s source. also pretty sure barstoolcarl had a rumor a year or two that was totally super definitely going to happen and it never did. There was even a hard date put on the rumor. I wish I could remember what it was. I’m not sure he’s got sources. Maybe he’s gotten some since then. unrelatedly, i knew barstoolcarl in college.

Ah, that proper translation makes this second one make more sense, but I wonder what the Dodgers part is? [tweet]https://twitter.com/kazuto_yamazaki/status/942967983592181760[/tweet]

as long as it doesn't take us out of the harper sweepstakes, i really love the idea of addressing the pitching 100% through free agency this offseason and collecting draft picks for both Jake and Davis. especially with a potential frontline guy like Darvish, and even more especially if they buy into the pitch tipping thing and feel it's a pretty easy fix. i'm not against trading from the major league team at some point, but putting the team in a position where they don't need to do this for, hopefully, the next couple of years is really appealing. i'm also pretty worried about Lester going forward, so being in a spot where you're not relying on him quite as heavily is really important. a pitcher like Cobb doesn't accomplish that for me. Darvish clearly does.
