Rich Hill is an innings eater, not an exciting pickup but not a useless one.

PASS

I fully agree with Joe on this one.

Me, too.

As the only move, it'd be pointless. But as one of several moves made, I wouldn't mind it.

 

This is Kim's MO, no? We aren't likely to see several moves. It's going to be one, and maybe a smaller one. It's also possible that they already happened with Robertson and Lopez....

They have 3 starting position players that are below replacement level no way they don’t add a bat 🙈

We'd like to hope so anyway.

I’m curious about that as well.

Do you have a Twitter account?

I don’t, so when I go to look at different twitter feeds from different people it is just showing random posts from the past few years.

I know they have made a lot of changes in the past few months since they got their new owner. A few weeks ago they had it where you couldn’t even view any tweets without having an account and signing in.

My best guess is that maybe they are just showing people’s more popular tweets from over the years just as a preview but if you want to see any recent tweets you must have an account and sign in. Kind of like a paywall or something. Either way, it’s kind of annoying. I used to read Twitter all the time back when almost everything was open to the public without having to make an account and sign in. I never saw a need to make an account since I wasn’t interested in posting anything or having discussions just reading. But now with the new ownership and all the changes, I don’t think that Twitter will ever be the same again as far as being open for anyone to read public tweets. Actually they are probably going to change their name to X I think. They already have the X logo instead of the bird. Will probably see them change the name officially to X, or maybe they will keep it as Twitter just have the parent company called X. We will have to wait and see what happens there. 😂

I've never used twitter......but I think I did create one for something.....(maybe even last year at the trade deadline?)......because I couldn't see something unless I logged in.

I just know trade rumors pop up faster on twitter than some of the other sites.

Well, maybe it's good she made a couple of moves already so it's fewer potential moves to worry about today?

Yeah when the team is literally tied for a playoff spot and 1 back of the top wild card, it is definitely a good time to quit on the year.

I think we both know how this ends if they don’t add offensive reinforcements. As a Miami sports fan, I can only take so much more pain lol

Had to double check which user was posting this, wasn't who I expected.

Eury Perez. They need to stop dicking around

Fully agree. Even with him there's a depth problem at the moment though.

Does Twitter not let you see posts anymore?

 

Went onto Rosenthal's page and it didn't have anything since like 2022, but then I look in the google results, and he's clearly posted since.

That's weird.

Heyman's at it again with the "mystery team" - there is almost NEVER a mystery team. He just wants access to these high profile players so he gets in the agent's good graces by trying to drive up the player's price. How many times has he said "Team A, Team B, and a mystery team" and the player JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME goes to Team A or B? Mystery Team doesn't exist.

Eder and Watson for two, three of their bats.

Does he have a snack every inning? Now that there is a DH more time to sit on the bench when your team is batting.

Yea but gotta look at the big picture. Best season in forever. They only have to go about .500 the rest of the way for this season to be a big success for us overall. I'm enjoying this ride. Not quitting on this one.

This to me is why it's easy. It doesn't have to be a mega name for it to be an upgrade which is why I think something will get done. 

The path here I think is so easy that I don't think they can just do nothing like other years.

Get all of 'em. 12 player trade.

Marlins: DeJong, Burleson, Carlson, Edman

Cardinals: Segura, Eder, Watson, Mesa Jr., and four DSL players who are all already MLB HOFers.

Fair enough. I would probably be more optimistic if there was a clear path to the next wave of talent coming internally. Knowing where our farm doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies of over-achieving early in a competitive window. 

Yea why isn't Kim just trading off the rookie league since we already know those teenagers are all sure fire HOFers?

Why the fuck would we want Watson.

Serious question as to the why.

I found some old account I never use and logged in and now I can see everything - he's definitely been tweeting.

That poor farm is why I'm all about trading them and going all in for 2023 and 2024. I don't see anything on the farm that isn't worth sacrificing for a shot this year and next. We can rebuild the farm later but there's no need to protect it now.
