August 28, 20168 yr I'll state once again how much Mattingly hates Puig. Trading for him would basically be like bringing a car with no brakes into Monday morning traffic. You're just waiting for things to get out of hand. Literally the first thing you get when you type Mattingly and Puig into Google is how they didn't talk to each other at the end of last season. If it wasn't for Mattingly I'd be completely on board with trading for him. Talented player who's available at the lowest point of his value. Some team's going to take a smart, calculated risk on him and likely see it pay off. It just can't be this team.

August 28, 20168 yr I say business is business. Puig knows his career is in trouble talent or not nobody is going to put up with his shit. Trade for him and he will know this is his last chance. On a short leech keep him and form a even scarier lineup when Giancarlo comes back. We'd literally be only after SPs this offseason.
August 28, 20168 yr We also don't have the prospects to trade for him. Even at his low value I don't see Luis Castillo and Stone Garrett catching their attention.
August 29, 20168 yr Remember Loria runs the team. He don't give three fucks if they don't get along. Yes he does. Loria isn't gonna piss off Mattingly.
August 29, 20168 yr Loria doesn't give a fuck. If he wanted puig he would go get him and tell Mattingly to suck it up. Exactly! Just like he told Billy Martin when he brought in Reggie Jackson... Oh wait a minute.
August 29, 20168 yr Even if Loria does that it would be a terrible idea. That's the point I'm making. Mattingly and Puig would bicker and lead to so much unnecessary dysfunction in the clubhouse. It just isn't necessary and so many people want to throw away MORE prospects at the chance that Puig becomes what he used to be. It isn't happening, and it shouldn't happen. And if it does by some weird unexpected reason happen, it is a terrible idea for many reasons.
August 29, 20168 yr Mattingtly might quit if they acquire Puig. So two good things can happen? Mathis for player manager.
August 29, 20168 yr So two good things can happen? Mathis for player manager. Please. This team is 15 games under without Mattingly around.
August 29, 20168 yr Author Please. This team is 15 games under without Mattingly around. Wrong. But okay
August 29, 20168 yr Mattingtly might quit if they acquire Puig. Yea,he quit and we make the playoff with Puig and new manager or he stay and we make the playoff with Puig and him.
