This is actually a relatively encouraging quote regarding them looking for pitching, if my Elias translator is working correctly. He's gone from basically saying he's good with the roster to saying he's "on the phones". That's a subtle but IMO fairly large change.

The Means news is in MLBTR too. Hard to track when there is so much bad news in one article!

Basallo also has a stress fracture in his elbow.  The article made me question if it was April Fool's day

This does make a Halliday roster spot more secure, though. The next ROY.

Obviously Elias has motive to keep the cards close to the vest, but "we're expecting him back" is a stronger statement than I recall him making about Bautista. 

It is about the most positive message you can get from the GM with the news coming out today.

If I'm Elias then I'm looking to bring in Lorenzen ASAP.  Then working the phones for a trade or begging ownership for money to sign one of Snell/Montgomery.

I get it but you really don't want to go surgery as a first option.

If PRP injections had a higher success rate, I'd probably agree.

TJS is almost always the endgame though.

MASN usually uploads Elias' pressers with the gaggle.    If this morning's gets published, it'll be an interesting one to listen for tone.

Elias has had a month to rehearse his tone for the reveals, but I wonder if any ooohs and aaahs will be audible, and then of course the reporter's tones on the questions over the following minutes.

Also in the article, Gunnar is apparently injured too:

Elias also revealed that Gunnar Henderson is behind schedule due to an oblique injury that’ll still need another two to three weeks of downtime

Probably nothing dire, but oblique injuries can linger for quite awhile so I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Man, what a s*** start to 2024.

Yeah, I'd trying to keep the news in different threads to make it easier to get the news when they log in.

Yea, I think we have to assume Bradish is done for the year.

I don’t see any reason to believe differently.

Oh well.  See ya partway through 2025.

It happened when he started throwing in January.

Means is unreliable and you can’t assume the best for Bradish.

So if you are looking to make a real move, you can’t just bring in some mediocre back end guy.

Get on the phone with the Marlins.

He had it a month ago.
