When there is no real hope we must
mint our own. If the coin be
counterfeit it may still be passed.

1) Marlins - I like the idea of us starting from basically the ground up and somehow making a kickass, winning team from nothing.

2) Brewers - It might be an interesting balancing act seeing who to keep and who to replace.

I like this idea.

Also yeah, do the Ryu trade.

I love our strategy so far. We've got Spencer Jones as a two way player, and we offered a 19 year old kid from Mexico 3.8 million more than he wanted and we're gonna just drop him straight into the team.

I approve, because it's not like playing it safe is gonna get any results.

To be clear: he is definitely not ML ready - I meant bring him over from Mexico and throw him into the system.

That said...he could potentially be ready a year from now.
Ah, okay that makes sense.

Gordon is probably expendable through the ootp logic because of Schoop, Polanco, and Lewis

Also I approve of you righting the wrong of not making the Twins an option by just trading for all of them instead. Literally half of our starting lineup were Twins at the start of the year :lol:
Jeets just told us to make a winning team, he never said how we had to do it.:v:

Next time it comes up we might want to consider looking at a new/different team trainer, because goddamn that's a lot of injuries.

They want waaay too much for Marte IMO...a roster player or a top prospect, for a guy who has been just as bad as our guys.

We have a couple upcoming FAs:

Sean Doolittle has been brilliant as our closer. He wants 3/25, but he's 33. I think if he'll go 7m with a team option year, I'm in for him.

Marcus Stroman wants 8/196, and has been pretty bad. Uh...

Extend either of these guys?
Extend Doolittle, no on Stroman.

Nah, don't sell anyone. Jokes aside, I want to see this crazy-rear end team can get lightning in a bottle twice somehow.

This cleared almost 45m in salary for us, but tanked our fan interest, and we're probably worse, man for man.
Well boo on the latter parts.:(

100% do that trade, I don't know why the Cubs have temporarily lost their sanity but we may as well take advantage of it.
