Ricketts Wallet Wish List 1. Sign Ohtani 2. Re-sign Bellinger 3. At least attempt to construct an MLB caliber rotation 4. Pick up Kyle Hendricks team option 5. Pick up Yan Gomes team option 6. Do not sign any crusty veterans that the entire baseball world knows are washed

mcmagic posted:Curious about what I'm supposed to post? I just listed a list of mid tier FA's they should look at. Should i make up trades like a sports talk radio caller? you don't as a fan have enough information to judge the trade market. I enjoy the back and forth with other Yankeesposters

Sydin posted:Only FA rumors I've heard is that the Cubs are thought to be pretty aggressive in wanting to woo Yoshinobu Yamamoto when he gets posted. Going after Alonso would be really dumb after he flat out said he did not want to be traded and wouldn't sign an extension with anybody besides the Mets. Would love if they went after Yamamoto. Alonso seems highly unlikely but if they do end up giving away PCA, Ben Brown, or Cade Horton I will be very upset. Sadly Cool Kyle is not a lock, they would be dumb and bad to not pick up his team option but then again #thatscub If they go into 2024 with 3B as some sort of Widsom/Madrigal/Mastrobuoni amalgam I will go berserk

more falafel please posted:Where would Cody play if they trade for Alonso, assuming PCA is up all year? Yeah they won't trade for Alonso or re-sign Belli, lol BUT! If they did, I'd assume PCA is bound for Iowa. Otherwise then Belli could move to LF and Happ DH.

Artix posted:We desperately need to trade some of our infield talent for pitching and the problem is everyone else knows it. Rumor at the deadline was that everyone's asking prices for the O's was hilariously inflated because come on, you got all those prospects, you can totally give up Joey Ortiz or Jordan Westburg for our middle reliever. Real question is who's going to be available? Cease, maybe? One of Seattle's young pitchers? If we are going to break the prospect bank, we might as well swing for the fences. The Cubs can give you this totally reliable Jameson Taillon for the low, low price of one (1) Jordan Westburg What's that? There are plenty of decent free agent SPs on the market this year? That doesn't sound right, you probably shouldn't even bother checking

It was mainly Sorry I wasn't clear, I was referring to their occasional promises at some sort of financial transparency, but yes they probably won't go after any of the big FA SPs. The good news is there's some decent depth in the market and they just need to supplement with Bradish and GrayRod looking pretty locked in.
