  1. This. He only has short term offers for sure. If he had a 5 or 6 year offer he'd have signed it already. He'll end up signing a Belli type offer no doubt.
  2. Didn't we save the Astros more money than they gave us???
  3. If you don't guarantee closing role to Pressly, he won't waive his NTC to come here. Obviously, if he's terrible in the role through the first few months we'll have no choice but to pull him. But we'll have to give him the job out of ST.
  4. The Dodgers are the one team not waiting for the price tag to hopefully drop down. They realize they can scoop up anyone they want just by making them a fair offer. Everyone else is hoping by not offering, the player will be forced to accept less.
  5. Not a fan of the new alternates. If they wanted to add a lighter blue option, just go with the old pinstriped powder blue throw backs. Those were great.
  6. If we would have been the big fish, and signed Scott and also grabbed *Bergman, what would our predicted win total have been? *Trade Nico now, in season, or let Shaw develop in AAA a little longer and trade Nico in November.
  7. It's particularly awful right now because the division is there for the taking. Our chief rival is down and essentially out, so we're really only competing against a Brewers franchise that will never compete with the big boys financially. Be who we are, (the big market team in the division, and use your financial advantage, and we'd be prohibitive favorites in the Central. But instead TR insists on evening the playing field with our competition. It's pathetic.
  8. None of the news, quotes or rumors have us engaged with any starters, FA or trade. So I'm prepared to be underwhelmed there, if anything at all. I'm just hoping Jed does anything that moves the needle at all for the 2025 roster.
  9. I hope there's an ESPN or Netflix documentary on the 2016 team rise and fall one day. I want to hear the players honest feelings about ownership and management and there role in the steady demise of the org.
  10. No they don't. Ricketts seems just fine and dandy missing the playoffs every year.
  11. Beginning to be slim pickings in the SP market
  12. Sign Rizzo as a fall back option!
  13. They'll sweat each other out for a few days but come back together and get it done. It makes too much sense for both sides, and each wants to move on to more moves.
  14. The Tucker trade will be a disappointment if the Cubs don't do at least one of these things this season: A) improve the roster around him B) sign Tucker long term, or C) reach a World Series
  15. it's the annual "precurser" to transactions.
  16. I keep thinking that's Glendon Rusch managing the Jays
  17. Why can't Busch stretch correctly? That could've been an out if he has his right foot on the bag.
  18. We added a new reliever late tonight. Acquired Tyson Miller from the M's.
  19. That's a really tough play Morel just made
  20. Need to see more of that oppo stroke from Busch.
  21. These are some of the worst offenses in mlb. But still.
