Carlson, Sadler and Scheiner gone which means another wasted 2nd round pick, one of Jerry's big RP dumpster dive wins was one and done and the Jay Bruce trade yields nothing.

Gonna miss Sam

Surprised they are letting him walks after he was nails out of the pen this season. But we trade for clown like Bolton instead.

Terms of letting him walk, what were they supposed to do?

Maybe trade for the Reds Matt McLain. He's slated to start at 2B.

Schneider is who I suggested the M's trade Teo for... and this is before he had the best to start of any player in MLB history.

Put him on the 40 man roster.

btw WHY do we need to focus on RH bats when we have Julio, France, Geno, Cal as a SH and Moore and possibly Hunt or Murphy when everyone knows that T Mobile is tougher on RH hitters????

I would assume he wants a righty because they tend to handle lefties better.

But why not just add a left handed bat who handles lefties AND righties?

If he weren't such a pussy he'd go get Soto.

Bellinger hit .337/.388/.596/.984 against lefties in '23.

But alas, Jerry is a fraud.

He used to fairly clever with his deception but now he isn't even trying. He literally give ZERO Fucks.

Sam will probably be signed after the Rule 5.

Maybe by the M''s.

Bolton doesn't have to go on the 40 man. It's a function of the roster which I not a clue. If it saves you a spot on the roster and the 40th man is more valuable than Carlson then it be the proper more

A lot of M's fans are clamoring for Randy Arozarena and he would be a nice piece but didn't even manage a .800 OPS in 2023. He is 29 yo and his highest ever WAR is 3.9. Was at 3 in 2023. We need impact not just guys that people think are awesome because the are a little better than our shitty hitters.

He's the most overhyped player in baseball.

He's basically Teo in a good year w. less power, slightly more walks, but the same K rate.

If the M's truly want right handed contact in a corner OF spot... they should get Seiya Suzuki.
