You judge the cost of a trade when the trade is made. For instance I didn't like the Norris trade when it was made. The fact that Hader ended up becoming a valuable pitcher shouldn't be a factor in evaluating that trade. Giving up a first round pick, a ML ready player and a lottery ticket was an overpay in my view. I'd feel the same way about the Machado trade if Yusniel Díaz had panned out. There are too many unknowns involved in baseball to judge things in a future sense. The Irvin trade was reasonable from both sides.

You don't declare something an overpay three years later.

I've been watching you post for years.

Crazy how even a fourth round prospect is extremely self confident in their ability. Turns out a taste of failure can be a good thing.

He's kept the team together and focused after the injuries and the issues with their best player. That is the main job of the modern manager.

Maybe if he goes back to Japan.

Oh, I thought he walked.

Walkup music is so uninspired.

Fuji was really bad as a starter.

As a reliever or overall?

On the bright side he won't be playing for the O's by then.

I'd rather face Wainwright over the pen.

He's about as streaky as Mountcastle.

From what I've been reading his crisis is that he didn't like being sent down so he didn't show.

DJ Stewart doesn't have enough chances.

OK.

He'll get per diem. I'm not sure how it works with his player's share of baseball card money and such. Also not sure if he collects service time if he doesn't play.

Not sure moving to another league would work. But yea, unless someone wants to exceed his contract with the Yankees, he's capped.

Thanks, can you take the Sand Cranes with you? They keep attacking my truck.

Who claimed him off waivers?

You eventually conceded you were incorrect about this season. What is different about next season that what is true this season wouldn't be true next season?

I'll disagree on all of the above, based off of what the situation was at the time. Maybe you are just someone that thinks that teams shouldn't ever trade for players at the deadline. I'm of the mindset that you have to give up quality to get quality. A lot of the guys traded at the deadline aren't going to amount to anything in the majors.

I'm having a great time for the record. Why wouldn't it be the case next year? He might be able to double dip if he went to Japan or Korea.

Not sure why I have to mention this again but no one played 100 games in 2020. Y'all want to mention 2021-2022 feel free but 56 out of 60 is fine.
