    It’s probably their contracts, have to hand it to Jed. Somehow he made short term contracts really ugly and hard to move. With the options and NTCs

    Him and Mastrobuoni hopefully never have another plate appearance for the cubs ever again
  4. WhyCantWeWin
    massive steal by the marlins, wonder what they offered for Taillon
  5. WhyCantWeWin
    Marlins got Norby for Rogers
  6. WhyCantWeWin
    Every team in contention scrambling for relievers. Just shows how important bullpen is, hoping they can unload Neris next
  7. WhyCantWeWin
    Yeah I haven’t looked too deep into it but both pieces look good and MLB ready

    Doesn’t Bellinger opting out increase the tax bill? If I remember correctly if he opts out he is given an additional 3 mil, if he opts in that gets deferred another year
  10. WhyCantWeWin
    Plan is to be over the tax by the smallest amount so they can use it as an excuse not to spend big. Pay the smallest lux tax they can.

    Could be, all we can do is speculate. If we get a report that says otherwise ill be a little salty
  13. WhyCantWeWin
    I assume they have access to more data then we do and scouts watching every pitch etc. I saw a tweet that said scouts were raving about him. I think likely Jed just didnt want to pull the trigger
  14. WhyCantWeWin
    Well his xFIP indicated regression was coming. Lets hope they don’t regret not trading him at his highest value.
  15. WhyCantWeWin
    Lowering his trade value smh
  16. WhyCantWeWin
    Watch him get traded mid outing now
  17. WhyCantWeWin
    Saw this on marquee, Paredes posted on instagram about missing that short porch in left. Blud knows his home run numbers are doomed
  18. WhyCantWeWin
    So with Bellinger activated, that means someone will have to be sent down when Paredes is added, Mastrobuoni or Bote?

    Isnt that all from the dodgers? Did the cardinals give nothing up lol
  21. WhyCantWeWin
    Have to give credit to the sox, they suck but they were able to flip a cheap guy they signed into a great haul
  22. WhyCantWeWin
    They got Vargas
  23. WhyCantWeWin
    I would be down for that but Vladdy is having a monster offensive season. Hes going to be expensive and only under control for one more year if I remember correctly
  24. WhyCantWeWin
    But since Taillon and Hoerner have value beyond 2024, i think more teams could be involved. Like the Paredes and Morel swap. Teams arent just buyers and sellers anymore, just acquiring talent. One mans trash another mans treasure, trading from a position of strength to cover a weakness and all that
  25. WhyCantWeWin
    I take no offense to anything Tom, let loose. I think they can trade those 2 for an immediate need on the team, which is catcher/closer/power in general. Specific names they can target i dont really have, I wanted Teel from the red sox but he might be a year away and like you said thats sort of a gamble.
