Let’s reach out to JD and see if he’s interested in an internship to play third base. We can offer him college credit at Georgia Southern.
I like the story or theory Maddux stayed in baseball just long enough to beat Roger Clemens in wins. Finaly Tally: Clemens 354 Maddux 355
I’d love to have JD back but he’d probably be better off in the AL. Especially towards the end of whatever deal he gets.
signed oday to a one year deal. $2.25m this year and a club option of $3.5m for 2021 very nice piece of business
Bowden on a hypothetical Mookie trade.. Atlanta Braves The Braves are not going to deal top outfield prospect Cristian Pache, but they might include former second-round pick outfielder Drew Waters. They won’t include top pitching prospects Ian Anderson or Kyle Wright, but they might relent on former second-round pick southpaw Kyle Muller. They definitely won’t put top catching prospect Shea Langeliers in the deal, but they might offer their next best catching prospect, William Contreras. Contreras is the younger brother of Cubs’ catcher Willson Contreras.
Waters is the only one that sucks, but I could live with it for a guy like Mookie. I am definitely good with shipping off Muller, Wright, or Contreras. We have to trade some of these pitching prospects. There just isn't room for all of them.
I usually agree but Mookie is good enough to justify it IMO. and he's not a Boras guy so who knows maybe we could extend him (damnit i feel stupid even typing that with our awful corporate ownership)
Maybe, but if you make that trade you are going all in on this season. We better spend big on a catcher and a couple pitchers.
Also, I don't know how good Contreras is, but you hate to trade a catcher with a reasonable chance to be a major leaguer. We've been a black hole there for so long. Caratini is apparently good enough for the Cubs to trade Contreras. Would be pretty nice to have him right now.
I don't think we take Langeliers in the first round if we were confident in Contreras. He has a big name so I think he's more valuable as a trade piece.
We can’t have another Kenny Lofton situation on our hands where we trade for him and then he peaces out back to Boston
One thing that would suck ass is if we “wait for the market to develop.” That’s how you end up with a middle order of Kakes, Flowers and Ender
