2020 Team

[Butcher]

Happ has also turned into one of the more entertaining players on the team. He's really active on social media and interacts with the fans pretty frequently. I'd like him to stick around for a while...

[rok]

Yeah, it will be a sad day when Jed trades him for 3 teenagers next off-season. Can't see him signing an extension while he's the team's union rep.

[rok]

He's still in baseball?

Well, another arm off the trash heap.

[BigBoy]

Chad Fox still available?

[rok]

One guy I actually wouldn't mind as a cheap sign and flip (at the deadline) is Chris Archer. Haven't seen him linked to any teams all off-season. Is he still dealing with injuries?

[funkster]

I'm not particularly sad about losing Jon or Chatwood, but is there any semblance of a plan to improve this team this year?

[BigBoy]

Funkster, yep my thoughts as well. The last 3 years the FO talked about adding depth to their pitching staff, and yet we keep seeing the same trend, bargain bin flyers on arms that may or may not turn to something serviceable.

[funkster]

More likely than not. If someone wants to let us know, that would be great.



Welp..

How many misogynists has the organization hired during the Theo/Jed era? And imagine if Jed had re-hired this douche to be the new GM as so many were predicting. This is too much.

[funkster]

Didn't take long, already canned him.

[Butcher]

I'm sad about Jon.

[funkster]

I mean, I do care obviously, but from a perspective of a baseball decision its a 37 year old pitcher on the downturn of his career so I'm ok with that.

[Butcher]

Yeah, there's that. This is all just a tough pill to swallow. I bought the "perennial contenders" hype and wasn't anticipating a big rebuild again anytime soon.

[funkster]

Yeah, it sucks.
