If Trout had made it to FA this organization would be Pittsburgh Pirates fucked.  Guy threw us a life line.

Honestly I was surprised that Trout signed the extension. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised.

Oh good maybe there will be more smirking about contingencies that never materialize.

Yup our GM has no balls all these players signing while he was waiting for Cole.  As I put in another post they should just had told Cole her is our offer and you have 24 hours are we move on and could have signed other players and Cole didn’t want to come here only wanted to use who ever to raise the price to sign him. They better do something are it is going to be a long ass season again.

God whats the point of interviewing him right now... hes got work to do not going on mlb talking about how we tried and yada yada yada.... 

[CanadianHalo]

Eppler and Maddon have both name dropped Marsh when bringing up Adell.

I feel like he very well could be off limits too

[T.G.]

Eppler on mlb network radio right now

[CanadianHalo]

Mentioned taking on money in a trade 

[UndertheHalo]

Seriously this offseason.  And honestly this organization right now. 

[T.G.]

Eppler.. Ohtani is throwing at about 80-85% right now.

[CanadianHalo]

Eppler has talked to Trout a couple of times today

[bloodbrother]

My favorite thing about these offseason interviews with the GM, manager, and players, is them always mentioning Albert when discussing the talent on the team around Trout and Ohtani

Billy is starting to sound like a moron. When asked about the SF deal he gave props to the Giants on the deal. He did say that it was for us to add pieces around Trout, Ohtani, and Pujols (lol). He inspired zero confidence in me. Referenced his fucking models and sounded the same as always. 
 

Then he got congratulated by the panel for saving his owner $13M.

They do have a pleasant dilemma by 2022.    Four OFs (Trout, Adell, Marsh, and Adams) for 3 positions.

So that's why they traded Cozart and the top prospect. I don't really believe that but it wouldn't shock me.
