I’ll withhold judgement till we know who is coming back but Trey 😪 we’ll miss you 

(and you have to give stowers time to get to the ballpark, probably not going to arrive till late tonight/tomorrow)

You will likely be looking for traits more than top names prospect returns.

I thought the Houston cheating scandal was pretty cute when it came to making Dodgers and Yankees fans cry like children.  The cheating was bad, but...I mean, if your victims are the Yankees and Dodgers, I'm cool with it.  

Anyway, go Astros!

Plus wasn’t it confirmed that the Yankees and Red Sox did similar things?

I started having doubts he’d be traded but I still expected it. Still feels weird that it’s actually happening though, I almost felt shocked when I first read it…which is weird since despite my doubts, I knew it was still probably going to happen. 
 

The return is likely to be underwhelming and I’ll probably feel disappointed even though I’m expecting it.

Their top 30 pitchers are all performing poorly beyond Hunter Brown. Whitley their #4 prospect has a 7.29 EArA in 8 starts

It's a 7.15 ERA and it is in 11.1 innings...he's coming back from an injury and hasn't pitched since 2019.  In those 11.1 innings, he has only given up 10 H, 1 HR, 4 BB and has 14Ks.  He's actually pitched pretty well in very limited action this season. 

 

I'd be happy to have him be one of the pieces coming back.

    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.  
    • This.  I grew up in Northern VA and it always took 1 hour to drive to Memorial or Camden no matter the time of day.  It was always easy to find parking as well.  Now that same drive takes 2-3 hours, and finding good parking is a pain.  Plus, the cost of parking, tickets, food/drinks, souvenirs has skyrocketed.  So the choice is to sit in traffic, fight for parking, pay tons of money for the hassle...or sit on my comfortable couch and watch the game on a huge HD screen for free...
    • Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like anything will be done before next year. The speakers at the park are an embarrassment.  
    • If they keep Ryan they can still get Mayo 350+ at bats. He can be full time DH vs LHP and play some at 1st and 3rd here and there.
