      Once the Yankees decided to go back to reclamation projects which is Cashman's specialty like Nathan Eovaldi & James Paxton due to high end ceiling but injury prone you knew Cashman once again will tab into the "Potential" basis again with Kluber & Taillion to now form the best starting pitching rotation aside of Cole as the "Mash Unit with Potential".

      Now Cashman simply traded in Otto for O'Day & eventually Gardner again not surprised at all by Cashman's moves O'Day is more reliable than Otto but I still feel the Yankees dropped the ball they could have traded Voit or Gio should have moved Gleybar to Second Base while moving DJ to First Base and letting him play some 2nd & 3rd base in the meantime while they could have landed Lindor & Carrasco or the Yankees should have asked the Cubs for Bryant & Hendriks selling high on Gio and others while they could.

      Cashman can build good bullpens but he is horrible on Starting Pitching and is way too loyal on some players aka Gardner or won't admit horrible Signings Stanton, Hicks right now to just name a few and rather than try with Hicks say to seek a trade and eat most of his contract he will run out identical situation in the Outfield and all out "Mash Unit" .

      He wont give Red Thunder a boost of confidence yet continues to makes this Yankee team an older team which will lead to more question marks than answers.

      Farhan took on one of the worst situations of any team in the majors: a bloated payroll, aging veterans, and a putrid farm system and has done a stellar job in uniquely approaching the problems and addressing them.

      People are certainly welcome to their own opinion, but it's a bizarre thing that fans dislike what Zaidi is doing, as these were the same nitwits who complained that Evans went and got past-their-prime veterans a few years ago.

      Really hoped he’d come back to Atlanta. Backend bullpen guys always get the love, but O’Day was a huge part of the Braves last year, especially considering their starting pitching woes. Did his job, got outs, and provided a nice veteran presence in the clubhouse.

      I don’t think these are as far off as you’re making it to be, but overall I do agree, that I don’t see any of these happening. If I was Braves mgmt, I don’t want Gallo at all ... especially if that involves trade Riley for him. I feel like that would be trading young Gallo for older Gallo. I’d rather take the risk of developing Riley than taking on Gallo, which lets be honest. is completely overrated. Now some of your other options, are more interesting.

      While I agree with DMC, I don't think McGriff thinks Duvall is the answer. I think he doesn't expect the Braves to pick up anyone better so might as well sign Duvall back before he's lost as well.

      I also think it's a little premature but it's easy to start getting concerned as we watch all these bats fly off the market while we sit and wonder if AA will pull the trigger on the bat the Braves need in the middle of their line up. The only caveat to that is whether AA has a sufficient payroll available to him to bring back Marcella Ozuna.

      Obviously, scandalous circumstances led to a mulligan, so I’m not surprised that they’re essentially going to let Alderson run the show for a year before making Theo an offer he can’t refuse.

      Jake Odorizzi-I like Odorizzi, but MLB-R was predicting $39M/3. Given that he was hurt last year, that feels rich

      Brett Anderson-Solid arm, but he has 2 seasons in the past 10 years in shich he's thrown than 83 innings. I don't think anyone is more injured than him.

      Julio Teheran-Underrated, imo. Poor peripherals, but generally runs a 3.80-4.00 ERA with a very dependable innings average. He was my #2 choice after Richards. My guess is the RS chose Richards because his 2020 was much, much better.

      O'Day is actually an extreme flyball pitcher (one of the lowest GB% for over a decade) who throws a ton up in the zone, he's just really hard to hit because his delivery and stuff are good.

      A lot of these sidearm guys are incredibly hard to hit if they only have to pitch an inning.

We're not making fun of Swihart so much as we are having fun somewhat at the expense of the Sox fans who hyped him. (Same thing with Rob Refsynder and Yankee fans.)

      They’re excellent at extracting the most value out of most of their FA. Many teams would make a trade (like Ottavino deal) for Ender Inciarte if attached with a prospect. His contract stinks, but far from the..stinkiest.

      I can only hope my Tigers are taking notes! Spread the wealth throughout the diamond not just the 1 percenters.

      Play to win the division.. if you can catch fire in October GREAT! You cannot and won’t successfully out spend the top tier! But most importantly, never-ever, sell the farm. Trust the process draft-develop. We would gladly take Anthopoulos and co, Antonetti, and Neander!!

      check his numbers vs LH hitters. While has mostly limited contact to both RH and LH batters, when lefties make contact.. It's far& deep.

      Good situational reliever from the O's, but reason more games than innings throughout his career.. Used mainly vs RH hitters so that sweeping, almost underhanded arm action can be avoided by LH hitter's.

      Not sure what my thoughts are about this move. I guess both Bentances and Robertson wanted too much money.

      Could be, but this feels like something that would have already happened if it was going to happen. I'm also not convinced that Rios is the future. He's still very much a work in progress, and given his age, is close to running out of time.

      It's worked out pretty good for them the last few years.
      Every year they are expected to finish 2nd or third in the division and they win it most every year.

      Ugh, it's as bad as the NL East with the 1996 and 1999 World Series losses to the Yankmes. I respect the NYY franchise, however they became a WS rival for me decades ago.

      While I don’t like throwing loads of cash against the wall to win a title. Knowing they are in win now mode; screw the luxury tax for a few years and sign Bauer. Go all in once and for all and stop nickel and diming the rotation.

      A lot of these odd contracts following 2020 could be mutually beneficial. If MLB doesn't fully recover economically before 2022, the players may very well want to re-enter free agency for 2022. When the revenues are back up, they may be able capitalize on better agreements. This one definitely makes sense on both sides. O'Day had plenty of suitors and the timing likely impaired his earning potential.

      Nice signing. I was disappointed ATL chose to let him walk on his option. It was likely due to our Liberty Media ownership being publicly traded and the Braves attempting to stay within hard salary, spending, and earnings limits.

      While it's a laudable signing for the Yankmes, I regret O'Day landing with them as much as I would if he went to another team in the NL East. 1996 and 1999 World Series still sours my beers...

      Except the Ricketts family has revitalized wrigley and it’s surrounding areas. They have been top 5-10 in payroll for the last couple of seasons. Yes, i’ll take the title in 2016. The allocation of resources has been horrendous on Theo’s (and Jed’s) part. They have spent $$ on average returns. They have had 3 positive signings (2 were huge $) Zobrist, Lester, Yu. The rest have been bad. Quit blaming the rickett’s for being “cheap” as that is a falsehood. The cubs have bet on a lot of guys. These same players havent really improved. Addison russell (gone), KB, schwarber, heyward, etc. javy was great and then last season he was worst qualified mlb’er in terms of offensive output. Look at other teams in the league with big resources. They dont just simply trade “blocked” guys for the hell of it. Organizational depth is a big reason teams like the cardinals, rays, athletics stay relevant.

      I would have been happy with Scott getting the job in the first place (not to retroactively say I was against hiring Porter - I was in favor of it) so I think they'll be in good shape.

      Also, this just semantics, but wouldn't it make more sense to call him the interim GM?

      O'Day is 38 and has pitched no more than 20 innings in each of the last 3 seasons. I wonder if he could run out of gas late in the year.
