    Does Lux , May , Ruiz & Joc get the deal done for Lindor & Clevinger?

        Haha! Did y’all see the Clevinger for Seagura straight up trade proposal? That is the dumbest one I read in awhile. The logic behind the deal getting done was basically that it would make the Phillies better. He didn’t even feel the need to consider the fact that Cleveland would need a reason to make such a lopsided trade. I guess the Indians will probably just do it and sacrifice themselves for the sole purpose of making the Phillies better. Seems reasonable.

          Yes, I had a good laugh over that one! I submitted a ? (kind of late) about the 20,000 player debuting in MLB possibly this year. Seems like it should be a big deal, like when MLB celebrated the 10,000th run decades ago. What say you?

      They’re NOT trading Clevinger. Stop listening to out of town internet rumors. It makes zero sense to trade an ace with 3 more years of control making almost no money.

If in a public place not dedicated to military, writing crap others can see understand that “look up 3”) means 3 inches, no matter what day stuff you claim it means. It means 3 inches to the world, so send your girlfriend a private message next time, mm k.

      I think he signs with the Dodgers again. He was so successful last year there and he wants to be on the west coast.

      IMO Twins make a trade for a starting pitcher.

        No offense. But you’re drinking the Twins’ PR koolaid. The report that Ryu wanted to stay on the west coast came out of… you guessed it… Minnesota. Because they want their fans to believe that “players just don’t want to come here and that’s not why we aren’t signing anyone”. When in reality it’s just, they’re being cheap. When the report came out, again, OF Minnesota, Ryu quickly denied saying he wanted to stay on the west coast. And the “proof in the pudding” he signed to a fringe contending team well east of Minneapolis

          The Twins created the rumor that Ryu preferred to stay West to justify not signing Ryu must be one of your favorite conspiracy theories. Right up there with the moon landing hoax.

          Most teams don’t explain anything, they just don’t sign a player but I guess the Twins are more self conscious.

    So we know dodgers are holding seager as the blue chip in any trade. Wondering what the packages would look like.

    Dodgers acquire clevinger and lindor

    Indians acquire seager, may, ruiz, polluck/joc pederson and stripling.

    I think the thinking behind dodgers trading seager is that he will be significantly less expensive than lindor and is as good if not better with the bat. They get cost controlled young arm in may with upside of ace, there catcher of the future and swing bullpen piece in stripling. I think joc or polluck could be delt simply because both are relatively cheap and productive players when healthy.

    Also worth noting i wonder if in mookie trade they would try to pair him with price so his cost would be less.

    Dodgers acquire price (red sox retain 30 million) and betts

    Red sox acquire polluck/pederson, keibert ruiz, ross stripling/kenta maeda.

    Dodger get better in outfield and shift bellinger back to 1st and hope for price to rebound.

    Red sox get cheap outfielder to replace betts while also gaining there future catcher while also get rid of 67 million in future earning in price and getting cost controlled pitcher in strippling/maeda.

    Thoughts?

      Nonsense…. There are my thought…. Red Sox do not need a future Catcher, and a couple of average arms for Betts and Price…… got no interest in an aging Pollock and Joc who is basically a DH…. Sox already have a DH.. Let me repeat, the Sox preference is to keep Betts even if it is having him play next season and still going to Free Agency where they can sign him anyway just like the Nats did with Strasburg.

    Do not be surprised when the deal with the Lindor/ Dodgers is announced that either Clevinger or Brad Hand is included in order to obtain Verdugo, Lux, Dustin May, and Joc Peterson. My contacts indicate we will not get Lux unless the Indians include Clevinger or Hand

      Maybe if you don’t care about coherent writing. It may be one of the most universally panned writing examples in recent history. And it didn’t have Jar Jar as an excuse.

      It’s very obvious they needed an additional movie to justify Anakin’s behaviour, as well as his turn to the dark side. Without it it made Darth look pathetic and weak.

      And I’m not getting into the higher ground crap. Just the expectant father suddenly becoming a child killer. Massive hole.

      Even if you added Jar Jar to Revenge it would be one of the worst written blockbusters in history.

    I am not skeptical of the Castellanos to SF rumors, age, performance & no QO makes him a fit. It’s Ozuna who’s not a fit at all (age and QO) + what’s up with his shoulder/arm and when should everyone look at that MIA season as a career year?.

    Belt has 2 yrs left on his deal, a partial NTC and I think SF would love to open up 1B as a spot to rotate players including Posey and Catesllanos. Even with Belt on the roster NC could be a utility type player bouncing around the diamond LF, 1B, 3B

      Castellanos is a better fit than Ozuna almost anywhere, but that doesn’t make either of them a good fit for SF. The Giants aren’t contending anytime soon, so why pay an offensively-minded, defensively-challenged RF a bunch of money for several years, turning singles into doubles for the opponents and the park’s size turning HR’s into doubles for himself? A defense-first guy would suit them better, but better still is starting a long overdue rebuild. Either way, neither Castellanos nor Ozuna are good fits for that.
