Pederson over Soto is quite a dream. I told a guy this morning that Tommy Pham was the last player in all of MLB I would want on the M's. I was wrong. It is Anderson.

Sometimes people just throw darts it appears.
Joc is a platoon guy.

Anderson? Why would you? His life is a mess. I guess you sign him to a prove-it deal and hope for a rebound like this years Bellinger (AJ) .

GoldSchmidt: I don't see a package that gets it done that makes for a wise decision from JD's perspective. He is a kin to Pete Alonso.

Ohtani: Fk yes!

Just bizarre. Dream lineup Would be:

JP SS
Soto RF
Julio CF
Otani DH
Bellinger LF
Gorman 3B
Cal C
France 1B
Rojas 2B

So, yeah. Basically, the 2024 All-Star game lineup.

I created that lineup once in MLB The Show using the "force trades" and "ignore budgets" options.

You don't call a lineup a DREAM lineup and fill full of dog shit trash players unless you dream about dog shit trash players. Maybe this dumb fuck does exactly that.

I was kind of thinking this may have been why they have been in go-for-it mode.

Mariners Twitter and Blogs: the Rays are dying to give up some good position players.

Reality:

On the other hand, there's Harold Ramírez. Man, right in Jerrys wheelhouse. They supposedly have a hard on to move him, supposed to happen this week in fact.

whom tattooed lefties at a ridiculous .387/.411/.555 clip. Ramirez’s knack for putting the ball in play (career 17.8% strikeout rate) has helped him maintain a lifetime 289 average

Had never even heard of him. Yes, you are right about him being in Jerry's wheelhouse.

Good piece on the Rays, their payroll sitch and possible available players:
