    There are reasons AA jumped out ahead of the pack and signed Morton and Smyly. Those same reasons do not apply to why he offered Camargo and Jackson at the expense of Duvall but we can all guess why. There are currently 21 roster spots taken by last year members but IMO 5 or more are on short strings if the opportunity arises. As it stands now, LF/3B and big bat are needed ( we all agree with that) regardless of DH situation. One thing Im pretty sure of is that RIley will fill one of those needs.

    The Nishikawa situation probably tells you all you need to know about the Inciarte/Kiermaier markets - if no one's offering anything for him, they're not likely going to offer much of anything of value for Ender/Kiermaier - Nishikawa probably would have taken significantly less AAV over the next two years than those guys are owed.
    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?

    We have long known that Inciarte has negative value.

    There have been plenty of posts about attaching him to someone in an attempt to move him - some folks like to see things in print rather than hear it from someone on a message board. The Nishikawa situation helps show just how good that "something" likely has to be to get someone to take Ender - Nishikawa wasn't even expected to get the same type of offer the Reds gave Akiyama last winter, and that was significantly lower than Inciarte or Kiermaier will make.

    I think the real question is: how good of a prospect would the Rays attach in a Inciarte–Kiermaier swap?

    Dodgers re-sign Blake Trienen, 2 year deal worth 17.5 mil total with a 8 mil club option. Microwave is on.

    How about a Braves/Cubs trade?

    How about Chip Carrey straight up for Boog Sciambi? Heck, throw in a couple of minor league announcers to sweeten the deal if that's what it takes....

    I would be entirely willing to throw in Frenchy, Joe Simpson, and Paul Byrd as well. Blow it up and rebuild.

    The Mets are finalizing a deal to acquire Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrsaco from the Indians, source confirms. Andrés Giménez and Josh Wolf, among others, are going back to Cleveland.
