Greinke has a lot of really good teams on his no trade list.

That would suck
I seriously have no idea what Jerry Dipoto is doing. Its like he wants to rebuild, but just can't pull the trigger. Its like he is allergic to the terms "prospect" and "rebuild"...
Why in the world would you undercut any chance you had at competing by trading away Paxton and Diaz, only to turn around and start trading some of your best assets for major league pieces? It just makes zero sense to me.
That's a major upgrade to one of their biggest weaknesses.
If the Mets pull off this deal with Ms as reported they have every opportunity to get a lot better this year also.
Maybe taking a page out of the John's dictionary by "re-tooling" instead of "rebuilding"

The phrase the M's have been using is "re-imagining"
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
That isn't the "re" prefixed word that I would use for what they are doing.
The Ms will be re-losing for a while

The Reds have non-tendered Billy Hamilton....if he is cheap enough i'd be all over him off the bench....he doesn't have a good bat, but for someone to pinch run, he'd be great...
Anyone know how he rates defensively?

relapsing?
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
He is elite defensively, and on the bases.
There are roster scenarios where he could make sense on the bench for the Braves.
For example, the Braves dump Duvall, and acquire a RHH LFer who would benefit from a defensive sub late in games...a bit like Haniger.

AA is all over defensive upgrades...he'd be a good fit, can probably be had for relatively cheap.

I'd be so happy if we signed Billy Hamilton. Not for any particular baseball reason, but I played travel ball with him as a kid and played against him in high school when he played at Taylorsville. He was the fastest 16 year old kid I had ever seen. If he hit the ball on the ground, he was on base. Nothing you could do.
Billy Hamilton 4th outfielder?
He has also been juicing recently and is 36. Odds are all of the guys I mentioned will be close to as valuable (if not more) over the next 3 years than Cano.
Yan Gomes traded to the Nats, per reports. Expected to be done this weekend sometime.
So they grab Gomes and Kurt? Kind of odd.
Not sure where you get his defense is bad. He has one of the best arms in baseball and has roughly average range in RF. Graded out positive defensively in RF each of the last 2 years.
I doubt we've seen his best season on offense. He had a near identical season in 2018 as he had in 2017. Higher walk rate and lower K rate too. All signs that he is actually improving.
That's quite a bit different if true.
