  1. Hawkins reiterating what we’ve discussed -
  2. I've thought about that as well. E.g. what does a world look like with no Belli & Suzuki but + Tucker (And whatever you get back from Suzuki/Belli). It's a lot to take in. I just don't see Jed all of a sudden making multiple blockbuster trades like that.
  3. Ugh, I dislike the Suzuki stuff. Also, horrible timing for this to come out right in the heat of Roki discussions with them sharing the same agent.
  4. Maybe a little less or similar to Soto's last year. Here's a refresher of what the Soto trade was - https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/padres-trade-juan-soto-trent-grisham-yankees.html
  5. Finnegan mention
  6. Oblique injury to start the year caused him to miss quite a bit of time and just never got going. Almost all Braves struggled last year
  7. Interesting -
  8. Hey, our old pal the cat is back at it -
  9. Opt out option after 5 years it sounds like
  10. Alright, now let’s get some deals done!
  11. All the big dogs follow him, including Cohen so I’m guessing he has some knowledge.
  12. I think the Dodgers are selling winning and Soto is going for the top $$$$. Looks like 1/$17m for Conforto.
  13. You just never know.
  14. About where all projections had him in terms of AAV. Interesting that the Cubs couldn't get it done for that price. Either they like someone better or he just wasn't interested in Chicago.
  15. It’s a Bellinger article but apparently Seiya is mentioned. Ugh
  16. MLBTR has him at 2/$20m and Crowd Source has him at 2/$16m. He had a rough finish to last year
  17. Agreed - I've had that thought in the back of my mind.
  18. If I'm trading significant assets for a 25 year old SP with only 2 years of control left, I'm typically looking to extend him. Just a personal preference I would have when dealing prospects/assets of this magnitude. Steele is a completely different situation and to me, not comparable when you factor in age, team control, assets used to acquire, etc.
  19. Kind of apples to oranges here with two different situations. The huge Steele fan in me is yes we should extend the guy who has been one of the lone bright spots over the past few years and really carried us. The strictly transactional/business side of me is probably a no - ride out his age 29, 30, and 31 seasons and go from there.
