This is the worst signing in the history of the team. Horst needs to go now, Trent was trash last year and we have like 6 guards. Either Trent takes up valuable minutes from the young guys or he sits. If we needed to overspend we could have sign any big guy. Awful, Awful, Awful I was excited for a new beginning and this move has completely undone all of it.

Jones seems a lot like a Ragsdale type player. Solid all around athlete with some potential to add power (6'3" 190). Garcia in the 4th seems like a perfect Brewers prospect, solid frame 92-97 heater and a 3k rev breaking ball. Sounds alot like Flores from last year to me.

It might be a good time for Yeli to be "hurt" just take a couple weeks off around the break. It would give Vaughn, Lara, and Sal some more PT with the DH open.

Strosnider is a great value in the 2nd. He has a ton of tools, probably fell because he hit under .300. Hopefully he can sign at or near slot. Very nice.

Is Ashby starting to tire? I didnt watch game 1 but he has been missing middle middle alot it would seem. I am very excited that Yoho has stacked a couple really impressive appearances. Hopefully that can give him the staying power and earn some bigger situations.

I dont mind the savings and we as anyone know what we are getting with Ebel. I think he is a guy we could have gotten in the 2nd and maybe saved a bit still. I think he has less of a ceiling than his brother. Overall it isn't close to my favorite pick but I can live with it, especially since it saves us money for later.

I brought up Logan Webb and Gavin Williams recently, not that either are likely to be dealt. Joe Ryan could be a guy in that realm. I dont think I would put him in a deal for Detmers or Soriano but that would be close.

To get a big time difference maker we would need to trade a top 50 prospect. We arent trading Made, Lara, or Pratt so Pena is really the only option again for a high end player. For a good player like Detmers Fischer or someone else can be the headliner but it likely has to be Pena lead to get Skubal or a different super high end player.

I would only move Mitchell if it got us a top of the roatation controllable starter. Chourio, Lara, Mitchell is a sweet OF, if we did move Mitchell, Sal and Bauers are fine.

Everything I've ever heard is that he is capable but doesn't get his feet set right/consistently on throws. I will say the brewers org (Matt Erickson I think) has done wonders turning Durbin and now Hamilton from weak arm 2B to plus 3B defenders. Maybe Adams could use some of that magic.

My guess is that they know Hamilton will be back after the minimum 10 days. If Jett isn't ready (iffy) Jones makes more sense then Leonard if a different team claims them when sent back to AAA and they lose the 40 man spot. Leonard in AAA might be more valuable in case someone gets hurt. I get that's pretty iffy logic.

Agree, they are going to try and trade Devers, Willy, Ray and Chapman maybe Lee. There wont be much left and likely none of those 4 guys are bringing back a huge return. I would offer something like Pena, Jett. Crow, and Letson for Webb that would be a pretty impressive haul I would think for SF to give them mlb players and a couple big upside prospects.

With Harrison not being dominant and Woody likely done I think it is becoming clear we could use a vet starter for the playoffs. Logan Webb just went off on some reporters or something. He has 2 more affordable years and could be primed for a contender. It would take a pretty big package but he would fit really well.

Holmes would be nice but there are a lot of question marks with the health. Maybe by the dealine that would be cleared up. I kind of think we would go after Detmers or Soriano 1st if the prospect price isn't crazy. I like Ryan, the 1.5 years of control make him a little tricky just because we have traded those guys with 1 year left traditionally. I think if you would say Holmes you would add in Sonny Gray, Kevin Gausmann, and Casey Mize as well.

How about Vaughn, Sal, and Coleman Crow to the Guardians for Gavin Williams and David Fry We give up backups at this point for a young contollable upside arm and a bench bat. The Guardians get 2 much needed upgrades at position they need to upgrade and a rotation ready player.
