Nice.  I'm confused though, why did we get a competitive balance pick?  We only made the QO to Trumbo, and then retained him.  We didn't give Wieters the QO, correct?

This has nothing to do with QO’s or free agents.    It’s a pick we get because we’re deemed a small market team.

And because our competitive balance pick last year was after the second round, so the teams after the second round last year switched with the teams after the first round. So we are after the first round this year.

So does Dan trade it?

How much of Trumbo's salary does this cover?

Could this pick + Trumbo get us Samarjza? Of course I would not like that, but I could see DD doing that. 

Depends on both teams valuations of those players, but a 2014 estimate has the picks between 30-35 worth about 13 million in surplus value. If you think Trumbo returns to career averages and Samardzija is worth pretty much what he’s being paid, that pick would be fair value to add in a Trumbo for Samardzija swap.

He’d have to get an awful lot for the 33rd pick.    I doubt he trades it, but I guess you can’t rule it out.  

He's done it before and for less than what I would call "an awful lot".

I don't think he trades it but that is mostly because they can't be traded in the offseason.

Yes, and please, Dan, do not trade that pick! 

From MLB website:

'" Unlike other Draft picks, Competitive Balance Draft picks can be traded. However, they can only be traded during the regular season and cannot be dealt simply in exchange for cash. Additionally, a Competitive Balance Draft pick can be traded only by the club to which it was awarded. In other words, the picks may be traded no more than once."

Could the trade be said to be for a player to be named later that then becomes the competitive balance pick when the season starts?

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      That is exactly my roster math as well. And that breaks down to just one vacant bullpen slot (with two starters).  I'm not sure we even have room for a high leverage reliever. You have seven guys on your list and they are all out of options or high leverage guys that shouldn't be optioned. We should have one spot for optionable guys and ideally another for waiver claims. The only way Suarez makes sense if he is super cheap so we can DFA without a second thought. But he will cost more this year.

      What's Your Top Priority

      Wah! But muh defense.    He still put up 7.9 bWAR this year. I would gladly pay 40 million a year to have what Ohtani did this year without the promise of picthing again

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.
