Nice knowing you Otto, Hello again Elly

[Seattle or Bust]

That'd be the biggest blockbuster this team has ever made. Giving up young pitching. Not without inking him to a nice extension. That's what ya'll are missing. Not giving up that kind of capital for someone who's just gonna leave in 3 years. Hard no with Sloan. Shit give them Hancock & Kirby for all I care.

I think that obviously depends on how secure Dipoto feels in his job.

Maybe he swings for some big trades this off season knowing he has to win.

If he's gone, do you think he cares that he traded a prospect for 3 years of an All Star player?

Exactly. And no guarantee with prospects. Kade had the best minor league season of all time and look meh for the most part. Sloan has been good not great. Could be an Ace. Could be a bust. Could need TJ surgery by mid next season...

"Oh my God, we can't be trading prospects! What if they end up being good for someone else!"

We all know that if Jerry hasn't uttered these exact words, he's at least thought them...
