    Would love to add a couple more here
  2. Randall Simon
    Loving that torpedo bat!
  3. Randall Simon
    This team has seen a lot of Pressly through the years too
  4. Randall Simon
    Lot of LOBs tonight...
  5. Randall Simon
    I'm loving the aggressive baserunning this season!
  6. Randall Simon
    Man Workman has really blown some opportunities tonight
  7. Randall Simon
    If Vlad Jr is worth $35M a year, for 14 years, what's Tucker worth?
  8. Randall Simon
    So, what do we do with our $30M now???
  9. Randall Simon
    I'm sure that will be a sticking point for the players in the next CBA
  10. Randall Simon
    Had Boston even submitted an offer? I haven't heard any rumors of Boston even being interested, even though they should be.
  11. Randall Simon
    Thinking about filling out the bench on the cheap, how much would guys like Whit Merrifield, Connor Joe, Brendan Rodgers, Joey Wendle or Brian Anderson cost? I realize these aren't sexy names, but if we need an additional bench bat on the cheep...
  12. Randall Simon
    It wouldn't be King, because the Pads are known to be trying to dump salary. A Nico for King swap would result in SD adding salary, which they would not agree to.
  13. Randall Simon
    No. Would rather just play Shaw.
  14. Randall Simon
    Cross Moncada off the list for the bench. We must really think we have a shot at Bregman.
  15. Randall Simon
    I wish I could be a full time part timer!
  16. Randall Simon
    Is Bregman willing to pull a Kimbrall and sign mid season??? Is his camp hoping for a ST injury to pop up, causing a team to get desperate? This feels like a gross misread of the market by Boras (AGAIN) resulting in a substantial loss for his client. I mean, I get it...this is probably his last chance at securing a big contract and he wants to cash in. But lets be real here; Bregman is an aging player on the wrong side of 30 who's already shown signs of decline. He's a smallish player who generates most of his value from his power, and he's played his entire career in a matchbox of a ballpark. He's still a high quality add for the short term, but obviously, every team knows he's not a good bet long term. He should've taken the 6 year offer from Houston and avoided this headache.

    But Cease is a FA at seasons end too.
  18. Randall Simon
    This is why the player's association will never agree to a free agency deadline.
  19. Randall Simon
    I think his "hell of a night" tweet was in reference to the NBA trade deadline approaching, not Bregman news
  20. Randall Simon
    If you don't get immediate MLB quality back, then you've essentially traded Belli, Nico and Isaac for Tucker and Bregman (both of whom may leave at the end of the year). It still makes us better for this season, but marginally, and potentially ruins us for 2026 and beyond
  21. Randall Simon
    I guess, pending what they could fetch in a Nico deal... King doesn't work because that'd require SD taking on more salary. Cease would work, but only save us a couple mil, and would Preller even take that deal? I doubt it. What other pitcher is out there, worth while, available, cheaper than Nico, with a club willing to take the larger salary in the swap?
  22. Randall Simon
    I'd rather give Shaw a few months in Iowa to make sure he's ready, then deal Nico closer to the deadline when Matt is breaking down the door. Shaw has minimal at bats above AA and It's crazy to me how so many are gung ho about rolling him out there on opening day. Before the Tucker deal, no one had him making the OD roster, but since we're all worried about blocking him. I don't get it.
  23. Randall Simon
    Pitching wasn't the problem last season. I get why ppl want to upgrade the rotation, we always want to upgrade there, but I'd rather upgrade the lineup, which was the achilles heel last season, and use our depth in the rotation, because we're richer there than most clubs.
  24. Randall Simon
    This. Plus, we only have Nico signed for 2 more years, and I doubt they resign him anyways.
  25. Randall Simon
    I feel like things are playing out really nicely for Jed right now to add several pieces relatively inexpensively. I can't help but wonder if we hadn't stupidly crept over the CBT last season, if we wouldn't be able to go over this yr and add Bregman, Cease and Robertson. One can dream.
