    Why all of this talk about next year? Aren't we still in contention? I agree with whitey, you can't plan anything around Buxton. Let the kids play.

    An extension for Buxton now? Absolutely not. If he recovers from the latest and is still useful and fits the teams needs in two years then you can discuss 2029. Not now. How can you get more silly?

    I'm glad he got the call. But September 12. Wow. It's hard to fix disfunction.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    Its time for the organization to move on. I get it Buxton is not going anywhere unless he decides its time to retire. But Buxton can't be relied upon. Really never could be. You get your 70 games out of him. This is a disruption to the team actually.

    I saw a couple of extension offers to Jeffers here, one was 3/42. No way. Not even close. Recall Christian Vazquez getting 3/30 from the Twins. My take is 4 years for between 70-75 mil total. 80mil wouldn't surprise me either. The QO should absolutely be extended. I don't however see him taking it.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    No, same Pohlad's. Just a different body to view. The 3.5mil the Jays are paying of Hoffman's 2027 salary proves to me it's the same Pohlad's. Everyone in the world knows that when the trading team picks up salary the prospect return is higher. This wasn't Zolls decision I don't believe. That came from higher up. Same Pohlad's.

    Franklin Arias and Peyton Tolle. But we wanted to keep Ryan so we could compete for a below .500 record.

    I would give the Minter trade an A-. Checked the box for need and he's been quality. The Hoffman trade I would downgrade that to a C grade. Prospect capital could have been less if they would have paid all of Hoffman's 2027 salary. C'mon this ownership can afford that extra 3-4 mil. Ridiculous. The Kremer trade? At best I give that a D. I could even be persuaded to go lower. We gave up the potential of Reyes for a DFA candidate by the Orioles. Edit: I like Hoffman and I see him as a good get. But pay out the money instead of pinching pennies.

    Good grief NO. Haven't we made enough dives into dumpsters?

    And we went out and got Kremer. For a prospect with high upside. Albeit years away from the ML. The Cubs today traded Taillon to the Jays for cash or a ptbnl. This is a fair comp to Kremer. What I would have expected to pay for him. Not that I wanted Kremer anyway.

    I have little issue with using Reyes as trade capital in acquiring help. I'm a proponent of using prospects in trades to get other pieces that you need. So actually no issue in trading Reyes. My issue is aiming low and acquiring a guy who has spent 4 months struggling. After 4 months to suddenly expect the light to go on and Kremer turns it all around is a huge stretch. Aim higher. Minter was a much better aim than this one.
  30. sweetmusicviola16
    Was it worth the price? Simple yes. Amick and Bruin are borderline prospects. It's what you do with prospects that you doubt will make it. Trade them for a useful piece. Minter isn't washed up. He'll help.
  31. sweetmusicviola16
    Nice to see that we finally after years have C prospects to talk about. Lackey, Tinney, Tait, Jimenez. Even Diaw. The Twins do have a decision to make with Jeffers over the next 5 days. Then if they don't trade him a decision to make with a QO. And Jeffers would need to decide on that if it comes to that. I don't see a Jeffers extension happening however. But good to see this be a conversation point. A few months ago we had next to nothing in the cupboard.
  32. sweetmusicviola16
    Is Jeffers going to sign on with that affordable extension? Something tells me no. And he has earned as lucrative of a deal as he can get.
  33. sweetmusicviola16
    Indeed these are the smart moves to make. This isn't the team that you go after a blockbuster name and overpay for. But any number of these guys would help you compete for this season. And I don't believe the price would be steep. You're looking at giving up guys like Klein, Olivares, Gallagher. Prospects that you can afford to lose. Besides not having to protect those prospects this winter.
