    • How bad can his defense be, honestly? Is he pulling Buckners every other play? Throwing the ball into right field? No range?    All I hear about is how atrocious his defense is. I have to know just how bad if Urias is a better option overall. Its not like Urias is Brooks Robinson out there. 
    • If the trade was for Kjerstad I could live with that. Right now our lineup/offense is fine and we are having a hard time finding ABs for the 25 year old (now entering his prime) Kjerstad. If we were to lose Kjerstad, next year Mayo could slot into right to replace Santander and we could pick up the option of O’Hearn at a reasonable 7.5 million.  By 2026, Basallo could take the 1B/DH/back up C role and get regular ABs. Also during that time IF (and that is a big if) Miller’s arm holds up, we have an unbelievable weapon at the back end of our bp to sure the only flaw/weakness in the 2024 team. And then you are pairing him with Bautista in 2025 to form the best back end in the game.  I’m fine with the trade off. You can’t hit the shots that you don’t take. And I am not in favoring of hedging any longer to increase possible future odds. What we have in the present is too important to pass up IMO.
    • The 2021 Rays won 100 games and 14 different pitchers had saves, no one with more than 14. The 2022 Rays won 86 games and nobody had 10 saves. The 2020 Rays, in just 60 games, had 12 pitchers get saves in 40 wins and they had a .667 winning percentage.  You don't have to have one guy be the closer.
    • Mason Miller and David Forst have said as much in interviews I've seen this spring, but the Red Sox probably said the same stuff about Papelbon back in the day. Sigbot first wants to see if he's healthy after the MLB draft.   
    • No idea why, but I'm so tired of hearing about this. It doesn't mean jack. Losing the game last night because Kimbrel blew it would have been a tougher pill for me to swallow than this streak ending. I wish it would end because I'm tired of hearing about it. This team is good enough for it to go on a lot longer, too, so that makes it even worse.
