    That’s if Sasaki gets posted. The general consensus is he will, but he could wait 2 years and get mega $$$ compared to what he would make coming over this offseason. On the other hand, his injury history is concerning. After an oblique injury last year, and now this year just returning recently from an arm injury, if he finishes strong, he might want to go ahead and get here. His underlying numbers across the board are much closer to MLB average this year than years prior. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a massive “prospect.” Regardless, I don’t believe Sasaki stops LAD from going after Soto. If Sasaki is posted and comes this year, it’s with little financial commitment considering he hasn’t met the terms to be exempt from the international bonus pool restrictions.

    The way I see it, if he doesn’t sign Soto, or at the very least match the top offer (you can’t control if he just prefers somewhere else if the money is equal), then we will never sign a superstar. At least not under Hoyer. Soto is literally the guy you do it for. He’s 26 and the best pure hitter we’ve seen in ages. With his profile, he likely has 7 more prime seasons in him before you start to see considerable decline imo.

    Idk how they will finish, but it’s a really easy schedule from here out minus a few series

    I just love watching PCA play. Speed guys are so much fun. Even “routine” ground balls aren’t sure outs with guys like him.

    Count me in for Burnes. I wonder what he gets though? He will be 30 in October. Same age as Snell when most of the league was like “you’re good, but we aren’t locking you up long term at 30 years old.” Snell settled for 2/64.

    I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. Like literally any day now. He had, what, 2 bad weeks early in the year? Other than that, he’s been everything you could basically hope for in AA.

    What the horsefeathers is your problem with Paredes? Weird stance towards a guy with a 130 wRC+ and 3 fWAR. He’s been one of the best 3B in baseball over the last 2.5 years.

    Now Heyman saying the Anthony scratch is unrelated to a trade
  10. JD94
    I would guess Flaherty is going to Boston if Anthony is on the move. Unless it’s for Crochet.
  11. JD94
    Would have to be a big name to pull him
  12. JD94
    13 K/9 between AA and AAA this year over 62 innings
  13. JD94
    Seems like a strong return for Leiter
  14. JD94
    Deadline in 6 today. Excited to see all the moves. Nightengale saying Crochet likely goes today but Robert doesn’t.

    Man I wish we could pull off a Vladdy trade since the Jays are selling
  16. JD94
    I really don’t know where to post trade reports. Every thread is littered with some type of trade convo, even the game thread lol

    I wouldn’t be mad at a lineup with Vlad, Paredes, and Soto in it lol. It seems so possible but so impossible at the same time.

    Idk if it will work, but Jed finally making some moves on consequence. I like it on the surface
  20. JD94
    I mean I agree with this point. As far as playing the media goes, I agree with him saying he doesn’t know. I just meant I’m not buying that he doesn’t know exactly what he wants to do. Sure, what he wants to do may not come together, but he still has a plan. That’s all I was saying.
  21. JD94
    Is he trying to say Jed is still unsure what he wants to do 2 days before the deadline? Yeah. No. I don’t buy that
  22. JD94
    The Rays will turn Lesko into prime Pedro but right now, that guy just can’t consistently throw strikes. Elite stuff, no control.
  23. JD94
    Can we trade for O’Hoppe lol
  24. JD94
    I mean Jazz is a really average player
