He also said Camargo was possible, I don't want to trade both Riley and Camargo for 2 years of Realmuto.
Matt Adams back to Washington, 1 year, 4 mil.
If AA's going to go get Realmuto, he needs to go ahead and pony-up for Peralta or Pederson since J. T.'s more or less a win-now move.
Does he have a taker for Julio and Flowers? That's around $15 million. Realmuto and Peralta will cost around $15 million. Still leaves the $18-$20 million we think he has left to spend to chase a SP.
The rumblings that we're "in" on Keuchel and Joel Sherman's continuous expectation that we're "in" on Kimbrel wouldn't be quite so odd then, and he wouldn't have had to empty the farm with the trades. Say Riley and Wilson in the Realmuto deal (just can't imagine they'll take fungible Pitching even with Riley) and Pache for Peralta? I love the idea of Kimbrel, but hate the money as much as everyone else does, but AA would have held onto Folty, Gausman, Newk, Soroka, Touki, Fried, Gohara, Wright, and Anderson as the rotation pieces for the forseeable future with Viz, O'Day, and Freeman coming off the books in the pen next winter plus Mac and Duvall.
Can't possibly imagine it happening, but fun to look at anyway...

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?
I feel like these Realmuto rumors are just a tease and we won’t acrually end up with him, honestly. If we do, I feel we give up a haul none of us are happy with.
The Fish should want to trade Realmuto in division. By the time they're competitive, Realmuto likely won't be good anymore. That leaves a division foe weaker for having lost the prospects to get Realmuto.
I disagree. I think this is as silly as not wanting to trade within the division. The point should be to get maximum value for the player no matter what. If that comes from the Braves or Mets, fine. If it comes from the Reds or someone in the AL then that should be fine as well.
I agree maximum value is the way to go. I was more pointing out how, if anything, there's more motivation to trade in division than out for the Fish at this point. The hesitancy to trade within the division we've heard about is stupid considering how far away they are from competing.
The 3b market is strong next year so with these 1 year deals they could spend big there next year. I’ve had a feeling all offseason that we get Realmuto.
I just feel like there's too much smoke here. Interesting that Bowman and DOB have been completely silent. Bowman has been so quick to try and shut Mish down
I do believe Mish seems to be right that we are the favorites for Realmuto but that can change fast if someone tops our offer.
