If they lock up ohtani what is the path for them to contend in the next few years? I do not see one. if they trade ohtani and get 3+ future regulars / 1+ all star the path is pretty clear.

The goal should be to fleece a farm system and start over

The only optimism I see is that there is still time for Arte to wise up and green light a fire sale

Anyone got any kids still going in LL All stars? We got eliminated Saturday. Ethan tossed a couple of gems tho

19th-23rd is the actual tournament. Will hit you up that week. We don't have the game schedule yet. I only coach LL all stars

@Spirit going to yankees rockies on Saturday 15th if you wanna join us

Vail. Travel ball tourney

I don't think anyone will care about a blister and yeah the teams who would give up a haul will be good teams

Maybe its just me but I didn't expect anything from Walsh after he sucked last year

Legitimate best case (<2% chance) is they sneak into last WC spot. They have neither the depth nor talent in the pen to compete in the post-season. Ohtani will walk. re-signing him would be likely catastrophic to the flexibility of the franchise in the future and it is incredibly unlikely he maintains $50M/year productivity for more than a couple/few seasons. Trading him and having a real chance to emulate the Braves in a year or 2 is the best medium and longterm decision.

I'll be in Colorado. Bummer. Enjoy your time here.

Ward, Rengifo and Sandoval are the biggest letdowns in addition to Rendon and Trout injuries

Fuck you

Messages are dumb they need to burn it down and start over

It’s pointless unless you trade Ohtani. He’ll be a FA if Artie hasn’t learned his lesson about long term FA deals by now he can always sign him in the offseason

Fire sale! Please!

They should trade him regardless but man I hope this leads those Dumbfucks to the correct decision

Emulate the Braves and Rays not the Mets

Its pretty much a lock at this point

The worst thing that can happen is that you keep him, miss the playoffs and then he walks

I think re-signing him at the variables discussed - 10/500 would a.) almost certainly prove to be an awful investment production per dollar and b.) would pretty much destroy any flexibility the team has moving forward. I only don't trade him if I feel the team has a 20+% chance at making the ALCS. They likely have a lower chance than that of actually making the postseason He also presents an opportunity to establish a level of organizational depth through trade that they haven't had in many years

It would be the correct move provided they can get the haul they should

1-3

Is this the new meat locker?

We should be trying to have the fire sale of all fire sales
