I wouldn't call letting the AL batting leader just walk is a simple thing.

He bites. The question is whether SD can spend anymore money and how much?

Did your sources tell you that?

Well, I really think that they are going to punt in 2021 and roll with the kids.

1. Cole
2. Monty
3. German
4. Deivi
5. Loggy

Perhaps Tanaka comes back if he fits in under the cap. But, I doubt it.

We just have to be patient and hope Sevy is healthy for 2022 and guys like Schmidt, Medina and Gil make big jumps in the minors.

Then when fans get back in the seats in 2022, they pay big for Lindor.

It seems with the exception of last off season , all they keep doing is punting season after season just to focus on the future . It’s getting old fast imo

So basically your sauces are wrong

Nice of you to create a second account because you're a lying sack of crap and couldn't handle using your old account.

So for you it is either win the WS or rebuild? I believe Hal will spend the most of the remaining money under the LT while leaving a bit for mid-season acquisitions. What happens if we get DJ, and then at the deadline grab a rental #2 or #3 and a high leverage bullpen arm? Will you still wish we went into rebuild? I think my scenario is incredibly likely. I think the team is built to compete and will we a team no one wants to face come playoff time. Sure, I wish Hal would re-sign DJ and sign Bauer and sign one or two high leverage bullpen arms, but it isn't my money. I think we are plenty competitive (not to mention entertaining), and I wouldn't bet against us come playoff time.

I wish we had grabbed Darvish if for no other reason that he throws like 12 different pitches and that would have been entertaining to see every five days.

If your scenario was likely it would have happened over the last 3 seasons but cashman stood pat the last three deadlines in regards to the needs of the starting rotation . I have no reason to believe he will do anything at the deadline that truly helps the starting rotation other than bringing up Medina . Remember sevy will be coming back at that time or right before it . Remember he did nothing at the deadline in 18 when gray was pitching badly , then in 19 he did nothing again at the deadline when sevy was down with injuries , then this past season he stood pat yet again when he did nothing to replace sevy after he went down with TJ surgery .

And btw you are really overestimating this team if you think they are very competitive with the starting rotation as it is and the bullpen only having two guys who can be depended on , on a regular basis

It's funny he doesn't even deny it.

Question, who is "Loggy"? My sources tell me it must be a typo.

My sources also tell me that his "sources" are him setting up a barbie tea set and sitting various male and female dolls and action figures around the table and having them talk baseball. Once in a while, Ken or GI Joe make a decent comment but before he can write it, Barbie, American Girl Joss, Polly Prissy Pants and Fresh Doll Lynette, start babbling about other stuff. He gets so swept away by their tales and dramatic renditions of, "who's wearing what and who talked to who and oh no she didn't" that he forgets it's just gossip and confuses what is real and what is not.
Sadly, that's how he get his info.

Also, my sources tell me he sat on the Barbie dream wagon and it has yet to reappear.


But really, in his post, who is Loggy?
I figured Sevy would be in the rotation but maybe Loggy is better

Left handed specialist out of the pen? Long man out of the pen? Kenny Loggins sans Messina? The fat toad as he waddles in from pen?

I forgot about him!
Good point about the bolded. Maybe it was a typo for logy?

NJ.com | Randy Miller: Trevor Bauer’s market apparently isn’t progressing very well for the top pitcher available. Teams haven’t been very interested in whatever asking price Bauer and his agent have set, and the Yankees are reportedly one of the teams that isn’t in at the moment. Bauer is looking to cash in on a year where his spin rates drastically jumped up and his production followed, but it seems that front offices aren’t biting on him for top-tier money.

No surprise there . It’s the same reason why dj hasn’t been signed yet . I said weeks ago that Bauer would get 25 mill or so tops .

Jorge, I don't think it's a commentary on Bauer or DJ's ability, marketability or value, it's more a function of the current financial climate many teams find themselves in, too much uncertainty. Aside from SD seems most are sitting on their hands and waiting.
