    Like an assistant with big cans and long legs? Or like just another pitching guy to analyze film?

    Haha I'd rather see #1.

    You know we've acquired two Uptons....

    We've talked about just every SP available, not even sure who it could be.

    Regarding position player, same, but AA works quietly and his moves dont get leaked until they're done.

    Just for reference I’ve seen:
    Bauer
    Kluber
    Carrasco
    Greinke
    Cmart
    Bumgarner
    Noah
    Wheeler
    Degrom
    Berries.

    Most of those seem really unlikely. I don’t really want a few of them. Only pitchers I could think of would be Marquez or Jon Gray from Rockies that I’d be interested in.

    Position players
    Merrifield
    Haniger
    Santana
    Kepler
    Rosario
    Realmuto
    S. Perez
    Peralta
    Pederson
    Puig

    Morton has been mentioned, but not sure it was ever in the context of the Braves signing him. Drew Pomeranz is also a free-agent sleeper that hasn't been mentioned IIRC. Lance Lynn would also fit as a potential sneaky under-the-radar pickup on the cheap.

    As for trade candidates that haven't been talked about much - if at all - you've got Taillon, Dylan Bundy, Luis Castillo, and Dinelson Lamet.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Well Nimmo or conforto certainly qualifies if this Mets/Marlins thing is real

    He said the players are very talented... Lynn and Pomeranz are both over 30 and suck

He previously served as pitching coach for the Marlins, Orioles, and Brewers.
    the phillies pitching overachieved last year IMO. their pitching was fantastic.

    What are you even talking about? I never said the original quote said anything about the age. He just said the players are both very talented... you weirdly came up with Lynn and Pomeranz who are not very talented. I went further and said they were over 30, further cementing how dumb your suggestion was. One day, I'm hoping you will learn how to read. It will save you tons of time.

    Wow I even reread my post and it's crystal clear. You got some major issues clv. Here let me translate for you.... it may help:

    "The original poster said that both players are very talented. The two guys you mentioned, clv are not very talented at all. Additionally clv, on another note, is that they are both over 30.... thus they aren't very talented AND they are getting old... equals your idea is completely stupid."

    Hope that helps

    I hope we hear a **** ton about spin rates now with the new pitching coach. Kind of a shame that Joe is out of the booth now because it would of been funny to see his head explode.
