Predict the SP ace Elias will acquire for the WS run!! :D :D

Woooooooooooo

I'm going off the options with a huge blockbuster deal with Chiba Lotte for Roki Sasaki.  He's just 21 and he's only making 80 million Yen.

The poll is obviously for yucks but I like the premise.   Who do you think we actually get.   Unfortunately, for the board, Lorentzen is kind of what I expect.   Not a true upgrade but depth to guard against Wells going down or to the bullpen.

Yeah, like... I am joking, but... it's very possible we get one of these guys haha.

If there's one thing about Elias, it's that his acquisitions, which to date have mostly been free agents, have been at first glance extremely boring players. Lyles, Frazier, McCann, Gibson, O'Hearn, Givens, Irvin, etc.

He's mixed in some intrigue here and there (Fuji), but mostly when in sell mode (Cano, Povich, Johnson, etc). 

So I fully expect a boring acquisition. I just hope he mixes in someone exciting. We'll see.

I would be kind of jazzed about that honestly.

You didn’t offer the choice of “none of the above”

For (MASN) ca$h considerations!    Money needn’t even change hands!

Unfathomable to think Elias wouldn't get one of these TOR Ace #1's for our World Series push.

Could Verlander possibly waive his no trade?

He’s not going to trade 4-5 prospects for a rental or give up his top 100 (including the fringe guys like Norby) 

Angelos isn’t adding payroll….I’d like to see Civale myself.

I think he will add one more reliever and possibly a bat.

I think you're missing my sarcasm here haha. I agree with you.

I'm sure he would, but at what cost?
