Twice now calls have screwed us

Man oh man

Or just stand there

Ok some breaks no capitalize on them

I dont think one contract makes it unsustainable. Its when you have many that its probably not. But he gave out 250 million just a couple offseasons ago its not like he wont give out money. It's a bit of a misnomer that Illitch wont pay anyone and not backed up by proof. It's how many 40 million guys can we afford or willing to pay that makes it unsustanable

I pointed Phil coke style from nyc to help em out

A liner up the middle would have been better

Amazing to lose like your last 18 and have the team chasing you win their last 18.

And thus the season ends with a whimper

Think it’s time for a new closer

tbf its not a story they should be retweeting

It’s not just a loss on the road though, we got worked. Wasn’t as close as score/stats shows

Money has already been made

But how many of those are ranked just because they are a warm body. Like a WR taken behind hooker, does he have a value of two just cause he saw snaps? If he saw snaps and sucked what does it matter? QB is the only position where mostly just one guy and that's it the entire time. Seems a bit apple to oranges, no? Like Kendre Miller was taken just a couple spots later. He has a weighed value of 3. He has never had more than 150 yards in either season. How much of htat is just him existing versus being a productive player?

He's a third round pick. 90 percent never amount to anything

It’s not the nfl or nfl where you have good players on free agency. In mlb now, it’s basically a couple top end guys, and then a bunch of 33 year olds that are just a shuffle the chair situation. Remember most mlb player don’t hit free agency until 30 at the earliest cause of how the system is set up (drafted at 21, few minor league seasons and then six years of team control) most are old or broken or both, so when critiquing we also have to look at what was available. Wasn’t like he signed these guys with with some 27 year old there willing to take a 1/13

Remember just cause you can do algebra doesn't mean your ready for AP calc

There are currently 24 lefties, both starters and relievers, in the majors whose fastball averages at least 95 mph

lol they can try doing it 365.

A) I am OK with trading most prospect. B)Chas is right on this one. No reason to make a trade just to make one and lots go in it so just blaming one person with no details or anything is a bit unfair. Maybe another team hates our prospect, nothing you can do. Maybe the player begged not to play there and his old team helped, nothing you can do. C) no guarantee a trade makes you better. If we beat the Yankees and go to the ALCS, its not gonan matter.

These are the high profile moves i hoped for. Bye Bye Skubal

Again, most articles this time of year way over estimate teh cost.

Yes rare, meaning in frequent, not never, which is why I said rare. But outside of that can you remember any 4 for 6 deadline swaps involving multiple big leaguers? Would you remember price if we weren’t involved? almost all deadline deals are 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 swaps where a major leaguer goes for prospects

Trades that complicated rarely happen at the deadline

At this point price is always speculated higher than it actually is. Remember last year one top 100 guy got moved.
