Has SG posted since this trade went down?  Someone please call and check on him, a 3 team trade might have given him a heart attack and/or a stroke.  

Anyway, looks like Rodon might be headed to the Yankees.  Seems to be the kerfuffle on Twitter.

This has been a really disappointing offseason so far.  And I'm not saying that because we haven't given an absurd contract to Rodon, but it's that other teams are fearlessly making moves, being aggressive and Kyle Gibson is our booby prize.

We’re broke

We are going to have $110 million in Revenue sharing (48% of each teams total revenue split equally),$100 million in National TV revenue. And 52% of everything else of ours ie, tickets, food sales, souvenirs, local TV money. I’ve estimated $75 million and $30 million a share of the Disney contract.
 

Justthe Disney mone gets you a real upgrade.

Don't know a ton about him, but seems like a good deal for SF.  Wonder if the Orioles were even in on him.

I would take buying a bat at this point, to use another MacPhail phrase.

I would take virtually anything that makes us better year over year at this point (excluding Rodon).

Their greed probably destroyed the Club's championship juju.

Bet their greed forced LA to raise ticket prices.  Poor kids in LA couldn't watch baseball games d/t their greed.  How many lives were ruined by small children not being able to watch their favorite team?

I don’t even really understand the Gibson signing if the plan is to not make any additional moves… why bother?  Just to cover some innings and avoid a total collapse of the SP in the event of worst case regression by the rest of the staff?

Would prefer that FO be a little more honest about where they truly believe they are in the rebuild process, because I would expect more aggressive attempts to improve the team’s prospects in the short term this off-season if they really believe this core is likely to compete for a playoff spot next year.

Well, Elias did say that he does not think we have a realistic shot of winning the division, so there's that.

Not quite what he said:  “Look, in the division we’re in and the teams that were at the top of the division this year, where we came from last year, I think it’s really hard to sit there and chart a course and say, ‘We’re likely to win the division.’”
