What the fk are you asking about.

DT brought up trading for the Cards catcher/Dh Herrera who had a OPS+ over 120 and over 130 the last two years. I thought him being Pre-Arb would make the asking price too high. But I see they traded Wilson Contreras for prospects that were out of the Sox top 20 and I hold that although Wilson has been playing 1B/DH in 2025 He did play in over 50 games at C in 2024. Willson had a 138 OPS+ in 2024 and a 123 last year. We could have acquired him to be our back-up C, 1B, and usual DH. I think that would have been a great way to partner with Cal and lengthen the lineup.


Donavan we have been coveting in trades for a few years and discussed in many offseason/ trade deadline plans.


O’Brien is another backend BP part that would improve our BP.


I don’t know how it is difficult for you to appreciate that I am lamenting that another team swept in a potential upgrade for our team.
What you wrote didn't make any sense. It still doesn't. It's like you're just vomiting words onto the screen.
You’re a piece of trash shut the fuck up just block me. I blocked you. Fuck off drink a lot of liquor drive a car off a fucking cliff fucking die you fuck

Sodo grades each move. I give the off season a B- so far but they need to do more. If they don't it drops to a D+.

I mentioned Joshua Baez a few weeks ago. Would love to pry this guy away from the Cards as part of the Donovan trade.

I think most of the guys are so cheerful on Christmas we just want happy thoughts for at least a day!😂

Time for the M's to sign someone big imo. (Bo)
How's that for being way too optimistic?

Bo would make a lot of sense. I'm generally not into the big free agent contracts, but this is a guy that's athletic, plays the middle infield, is still pretty young, hits for both power and average. I mean, if you are ever going to stretch, this is the type of guy to do it with.

It would be nice to be a fan of a team that it was at least a possibility that they might sign him.

A St. Louis podcaster suggests a vague trade of Nolan Arenado and JoJo Romero to the Mariners:
