If El Bombi is not ROY then there should not be one

Trouble in San Diego? Guess just a little steam getting out. Manny appears to be the alpha here

14 games left.... even if we play 500 ball we still get to 100 losses. Will be difficult to not get at least #4 pick although Nats have only won 4 games this month. A severe skid. They can’t even eek out a win against the Rockies.

Well they can’t keep saying things like this and not produce results.
Says they want to add two proven veteran types to the top of the rotation and looking at anyone at any position.
Wonder what they do.
Should be a very fun off-season.
I thoroughly enjoy the off season lol

I think they’ll go after one of the SS guys, 2 SP, a C and an OF.
Probably sign a few and trade for one or 2.
My guess would be trading for a C and one SP and signing one SP, SS and OF.

I would try to work a trade for MJ Melendez C for the Royals, Gabriel Moreno of the Bluejays, Tyler Stephenson of the Reds, Joey Bart of the SFG or Logan O’Hoppe of the Phillies.

If I’m not wrong and Washington went 0-14 the Rangers would have to go 7-7 and Pittsburgh would have to go 6-8 for Washington to get the 3rd

Daniels is saying what he needs to. I'm glad to see them acknowledging what approach needs to be taken, and it's the approach i think they should take.

Step 2: actually take it.

I think a rotation headed up by Leiter and Winn could be better than our rotation we had in 2011, even without going out and signing, or trading for, an ace.
not enough evidence at this time to make that claim. not saying it isn't possible but way to early

Jamey's answer to this one is surprising to me.

Which of the following do you see starting on Opening Day 2024? Huff, Jung, Foscue, Wendzel, Josh Smith, Crim, Harris, Duran and Zavala. — Bennie B.

Do I have to limit it to starting roles with Texas? If so, my answer to that unanswerable question would be Jung, Duran and Harris.
so you trade away. Foscue, Wendzel, Smith and Zavala?
