Cano contract I’ll agree, but if it was just the Adam Jones trade alone it wasn’t bad, it was the Chris Tillman trade to me. Jones was the top prospect that had no role with the team and they got a solid pitcher back. Had the team half performed the way they did the previous year it wouldn’t have been a bad deal at the time. But they gave up their two top prospects for 100 losses. Bedard would be a solid number 2 behind Felix had the offense or bullpen performed, but they didn’t and Mr. Anti Social and anti 6 innings didn’t look good. I’ll put that deal in the category of signing Figgins or Silva.
Kind of like how I’ve disagreed with Jerry trading all of the top guys in the farm system (prior to him getting the job) You can package those guys in bigger deals or add them in in to deal a guy like Seager or Felix. No one will take on those contracts but giving up a prospect should entice some team enough where they will take some of it. This was the year to make the playoffs and Jerry had not ammo to pull off what they needed at the deadline so had to shop at the Goodwill instead Macy’s or insert your higher end store.
ulmax recomended trades
robert..stephenson..cinn......if they are going to trade leake i would get stepenson first
gordan and leake to san diego
zunino to miami
thanksYea its just an endless cycle. We are reaching the point where Dipoto will need to make the desperate move to save his job that will fuck over this franchise for years. You know, the Adam Jones move or the Cano Contract type of move.
thanks
i do feel like a broken record, though
it's all so fucking hysterical
