I think it’s good people are worked up. This only happens once a year. That’s why we are called FANatics.

Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.

Can’t see him walking away from 43.33M. No way he can expect get close to that next season

Certainly never heard of a player turning down a guaranteed $43m paycheck simply because he lost the option of turning down a $43m paycheck, but they don't call him Mad Max for nothing.

So it’s best to never make a trade?

Unless the Mets have guaranteed him they’ll resign him for it next season

I wonder if other teams will contact the Rangers to ask about Acuna, now. Maybe a team that thought he was unavailable prior to this afternoon.

People here get too worked up, both ways.

Our prospects are the best, they’re the worst. We can win it all this year, we have no chance. We should trade for pitchers, we should do nothing. Etc, etc, etc.

Here’s the truth- we are a GOOD TEAM. Maybe not the best, maybe not WS favorites, maybe not perfect… but we’re good. Same goes for our prospects. They’re good, some are elite. The majority of them are not un-tradeable. Not trying to play peacemaker or anything, but how about we see how things shake out before slamming the front office, media, Chris Young, any trades, etc.

If we trade for Scherzer, I’m withholding judgment. Maybe it blows up in our faces, maybe it’s the worst move ever, maybe it gets us to a WS title, or maybe somewhere in between. None of us can say for SURE what happens. A select few here like to think they know everything and can predict the future (“the Astros are sweeping us and we’ll be out of first place by the weekend”… GTFO).

How about this… whatever trade we make and gets finalized… how about we agree to at least wait and see how it all shakes out before ripping each other new ones? I mean, it’s cool to have general opinions, and of course if CY trades the entire farm for trash we can pile on. But if we trade Acuna and Saggese for Scherzer… how about we at least give Scherzer like 2-3 starts before bringing out the pitchforks for him, CY, and anyone else we acquire?

Thank you for posting this.

Now, that is not close to what I said, is it?

I'm sure we will see them pop up
