It goes back to what I said when people criticized the Rangers going for Scherzer. You improve yourself how you can with what’s available and who is willing to deal. It’s not a video game where you can just target who you want and throw stuff at it. It’s not a bunch of fans just deciding “trade him for Juan Soto!” It’s reality.

Gleyber for prospects is a rebuilding trade and I'm fine with it even if it's pitchers who they can hopefully turn into position players at some point. A Soto deal would be for prospects since the Pods would be dumping salary at this point and I'm also fine with that because it will help in 2024 too.

Robberse is the Jays 7th best prospect per MLB pipeline

Ya him and Kloffenstein are both too 10ish guys in the Jays system.

Both needed to be added to the 40 man after this season and I'm not sure either are worth a slot.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
the Braves made their big move, swapping recently acquired lovely reliever Taylor Hearn to the Royals for designated defensive replacement Nicky Lopez

it would be nice to add a starter obviously but the Braves have basically no one to trade

My only issue with Camden is all the amenities are so removed from the field. Eutaw Street is great but the game is happening somewhere else.

Instead of trading Ohtani for the future of their organization, they are going to trade all their good prospects for mediocre players to rent and then lose Ohtani anyway.

What about the Angels organization makes you think they're going to do anything with those prospects anyway

Considering the Angels are riddled with injuries to the point of being close to starting their stadium's janitors, I'm here for getting Cron and Grichuk.

Ward has God drat face fractures that are going to need surgery after Manoah accidentally tried to kill him, for gently caress's sake.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.


"We struck out a lot, but it took us a really long time to do it" is some spin. I don't pay attention to the Yankees really, is Boone always trying to put a positive spin on things? Does he ever say they sucked?

Boone pretty much never takes a public poo poo on his players and seems plenty willing to sound like a bit of an idiot to take the heat off them.

I've always felt like he gives interviews like a bank teller with a gun pointed at them. There is no way this is what he actually thinks, but Big Yankee will not allow anything else to be said.

Boone is a players manager. It’s what he was hired for because Girardi had a lot of friction with the young players on the team. So like he’s never gonna come out and go “everyone sucks” like some fans want him to. He acknowledges the reality of the failure but always tries to put a spin on it. And honestly I don’t even know why anyone would expect him to do anything other than what he does. Post game interviews just exist to give people something to yell about until the next game. Whether deliberately or not Boone rather they be on him than talking about how he called out players. And seriously no manager is like having his millionaires run laps for striking out a bunch. It’s just the usual fans looking for blood to make themselves feel better.

Boone is just a really bad manager. The fact that he says dumb poo poo that is just completely the opposite of what everyone watching the games sees is just the salt in the wound of how much it sucks watching this team night in and night out.
