    When you look at it that way it becomes clear signing JD was a very good move. The price was good too.
    I LOVE the Donaldson signing as long as we address cOF with a 3+ win player as well, which is looking far more difficult at the moment. If we do nothing else other than signing Markakis or something, then I'm not a big fan of it.

    I'm still hopeful though that we can make a trade for that 3 win outfielder. I think there are several on the market that could be had for the right price.

    If Pollock goes to LA it would increase our chances of getting Pederson or one of their other outfielders.

    Just realized there's a cheap option we never considered. Frenchy's drawing his announcer's salary, so he could play for nothing!!!

    Now...who gets dropped from the roster???

    Long alone is a slight overpay for Gray imo.

    With the money and talent we have to trade I have no doubt that AA will get a good OFer but if he doesn’t it’s a fail unless JTR is acquired also.

    You've been to the World Series two straight years, reset your cap penalty, and have more money than God. Going out and spending $50-$60 million on a guy with a glass jaw that you hope can play 120 games a year when you can easily pay what Harper wants without it hurting (even a little bit) screams that you're making things too complicated because you're trying to show everybody how "smart" you are.

    Yeah, he clearly would be. Long isn't a scrub. He's probably a top 150 prospect. If they gave him up, plus a pick, plus another minor leaguer that I'd presume would be on Stevenson's level.... Good lord that'd be a fleecing to end all fleecings. At least Miller was controllable at the time.

    Sounds like we are close on Machado, Harper and Kimbrel.
