So, if Arte knew he wasn't going to re-sign Ohtani, then WTF did he not allow Perry to trade him?
Fucking Arte...
Maybe he thought the added players + Ohtani in his last year could at least help them reach the playoffs. Then he probably knew that would be the end of that possibility for several years.

I just read an article that the Giants are now trying to get involved with Snell. They need pitching. Also the Astros had interest but balked at his asking price.

I may be in the minority but I like Valentine.
I like him as well, he has a great personality. He is actually funny.

Don't go to sleep on Jake Marisnick, this guy is having a solid spring hitting as well. I really like he defense and speed too.

Only if Snell doesn’t get an opt out after year 1, will it be a good signing.
What do you think, how many years would you like to see him locked up? I hate giving up a high draft pick at this stage. I'm not sure one guy can fix our staff, and I like what we are seeing so far in spring training. I think it's a tough decision.

You tell me but I thought that those two swings were the most compact swings I’ve seen from him.
And I thought there was less movement prior to the pitch, he looked better. My day 1 Trophy goes to Nolan Schanuel though, 20 added pounds of muscle shows!

Is that Mamie Van Doren and Dean Chance with Bo and Gene?
Yes it is, you got them all correct!

Here a little more information on how Boras operates in this Wall Street Journal article.

Isn't it ultimately up to the player to say it is time to sign? Why would any player want to leave it entirely up to Boras.

What plan is Perry on now, he must be at the end of the alphabet. Probably about plan X, Y, or Z.

Seeing that his OF defense has cratered, there aren’t many options for him here.
Very true, I don't think our new manager will tolerate sloppy defense.

Very interesting thoughts. I didn't read more than the first sentence though.

Things will always go the way you want only if you own the team, otherwise there will be things you always don't like or disagree with. Get over it.

Yeah, I really like this. Moore was very solid for us last year.

I like the idea of signing Moose. It's depth and quality leadership. I'm weary of the Bellinger and Snell discussion, and I don't like giving up any draft choices. Instead I would rather go for Lorenzen, and maybe Clevinger or Alex Wood to bolster the pitching with depth. Maybe Pham or Soler in the outfield, or see if you can find a younger one in a trade. I still like Grichuk for pure depth, I know he didn't do well for us last lear but I still think he has average depth still in the tank. I am definitely a Moore fan, he needs to be added to our relief core.

Carlos Perez (C) was DFA'd by the White Sox today. It seems we currently have enough catching, but if we trade one he could be a good fill.

If I were Perry, and we lived in a perfect world:
(Assuming I've got ~60M to spend, using MLBTR Contract Projections and Baseball Trade Values Simulator)
Get Blake Snell for 7 - 200M (31.5M Left)
Taylor Ward to the Red Sox for Kutter Crawford and Yordanny Monegro (Back to ~35M)
Get Robert Stephenson for 4 - 36M (26M Left)
Get Tommy Pham for 1 - 8M (18M Left)
Get Gio Urshela for 2 - 20M (8M Left)
~8M left to round out depth or whatever.
Looks like Urshela is headed to the Mets, but not final yet.
-
Maybe this has already been discussed, but do we lose a draft pick if we sign Snell?

The reason they have that much money is because they’re a successful organization.
No, the reason they have a successful organization is because they have wealthy investors, many of which made their fortune in other fields.

If halos added Lugo and Wacha like KC did rotation would really be deep. Now not many starters left with every team needing them.
Yeah, that was a great move by KC! I would have loved to add those two, I wonder if Perry even tried?
