Lol I wouldn't say I'm Jerry's biggest fan but I'm not his biggest hater like a lot of people on here either. I'm 46. Grew up in WA, followed the M's my whole life. Hell, I even got Griffey's Bellingham and San Bernadino minor league cards when I was a kid. I get a lot of people haven't seen the tea...

I look at it as not so much being cheap as they really trust their scouts & player development people. Look their either gonna light the world on fire or crap on themselves. Nothing is a sure thing. Would you rather spend 100s of millions & have the guy bust & be on the hook for all that with no ab...

Absolutely no way that I'm gutting this farm systems upcoming pitching for a short-term jolt. Skubal would be gone at the end of the year, and we are stripped bare, with no reinforcements in sight. For me, Sloan, Kade, Emerson and Farmelo are all off limits. Everyone else is fair game in a trade. An...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you guys. I appreciate coming on here pretty much every day (lurking or chatting) and getting to talk with guys that have the same obsession with our team. We don't always get along, but it damn sure is fun getting to argue. Happy turkey day!

You keep one and rotate thru DH or have Randy pretty much DH. Trade the other one in a package to pick up another need like relief or 3rd base.

I guess I'm in the minority around here, but I have NO interest in gutting our farm for only 1 season of a pitcher that could potentially blow out his arm. If we are trading away our best prospects, I want people that would be on our team for years. We already have good pitching. Sure, we could nitp...

There is absolutely no chance in hell that I'm gutting our farm for a pitcher that will only be here 1 year. He isn't signing an extension and we sure as hell aren't ponying up 400 mil for a pitcher. That is absolutely ridiculous. I'm fine rolling out the pitching we have -Castillo. Trade him for a ...

We need to get cost controlled guys in via trade and get away from all these expiring contracts. Dump Castillo for anything we can actually use. Trade Randy as well. We should be able to get back a few cheap, multi year players that we can use to bridge to our next wave of talent coming in, and sign...

I don't think anything is stopping them. But I think its maximizing potential in other areas and seeing what we can shore up in weaker areas. After seeing Yesavage in the playoffs, I could absolutely see Kade up by june time. If we either trade for a stud pitcher shipping off some of our prospects (...

I'd be curious what everyone thinks is reasonable for what our actual budget IS. If we say its close to 170mil... and we are sitting at around 130 or so... what would actually keep us competitive. I think you have to trade castillo, and get either a reclamation project like Casas that can fill in at...
