    Moves like these are what we have to hope the Phils continue to do so they waste their vastly superior resources.

    The Braves need a 3B with a 135 wRC+ vs RHP. They are already a very potent offense vs LHP, which is partly why the Duvall trade was a bit odd.

    In fact, they really just need anyone who can hit RHP even moderately competently at this point. Flaherty should not be getting PAs in high leverage spots.

    Soto is a twat. He just stared a cubs pitcher down the whole AB, and actually got on with a walk. He then got picked off. He acted a butt before leaving field. I hate this kid

    The Mets are likely to hire a baseball dinosaur as their new GM so he can relate to their fossil dinosaur owner:

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/...ice-plans.html

    While more teams are increasingly turning towards younger executives with analytics backgrounds to run their baseball operations departments, as the 81-year-old Wilpon isn’t likely to hire the type of younger executive “with whom he would perhaps have difficulty connecting.”

    Puma also notes that some Mets officials feel that the Alderson front office “became too analytics driven in recent seasons.”


    That is good news for the rest of the NL East. As long as the Mets are stuck in the past and run incompetently that's one less competitor in the division.

    Now if we can just get all the "old school" announcers and fans on this board to jump on the Mets bandwagon, it would be doubly sweet. They can revel in fandom of an anti-analytic team and enjoy being a terrible organization...but at least they will be able to understand what's going on!!

    They should hire Joe Simpson as their next GM.

    If the Mets are really going to do this, I hope whoever they bring in is dumb enough to either trade Conforto or Nimmo for a lower price since they might not have as great traditional stats.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Terrible defensively though. Would his offense make up for that?

    I just noticed that Soto was picked off twice. Awesome.
