I think it is natural for there to be some issues with how the org has handled things. These guys are humans being and professionals first and foremost. To think that they all will be okay with t

Kinda to be expected.   If we don’t win this year, next year might have to be a transition year with the young guys.  I would trade Mounty and let Santander walk.  Let the young guys play.

The only interesting part, to me, is the bit about long term extensions. 

The other parts were going to pretty obviously going to be a problem.

Guys should have been shipped off during the offseason, but Elias is too risk adverse to promote that many young players at once.

The extensions line seemed like a throw away.  I haven’t seen any young players talking about wanting them.   Maybe Mounty is interested or Ced.

They aren't going to talk about it.

I can't imagine Adley, for instance, going to the media to lobby for an extension.  It's very unprofessional.

Sure they would. They can say they would love to talk extension or how they want to finish their career here. You never hear any of the young guys say anything like that.

I just got through the payroll to read the story. There are no quotes or sources. The following paragraph states "the locker room has not fractured or turned sour--not at all..." Just a bunch of vague speculation. 

So the question is what did Hays say when he "confirmed" the story? Just that the veterans are pressing?

Oh, so you mean we don't get pointless platitudes?

Cool, I'd rather not hear canned response #3.

I thought you meant actual dialog on the topic.

I am not talking about when asked directly.  Guys have ways that they can signal that they want an extension. It also isn’t unprofessional to come out and say after Witt signs, for example, that you would love to extend too.

Sounds like Hays confirmed that he was the problem, lol

Things are a real mess despite being in first place. 

Maybe not related but did anyone hear Keith Law with Haynie yesterday, right after the news broke that Hays had been traded? Law made a comment that I thought centered around the negative thoughts from Hays teammates towards him. (I was surprised and I know, it’s Law). Did anyone else hear that and maybe correct my version in case I heard it wrong?

I think it is.

On both sides, in regards to the team and to your agent that you pay to handle that sort of thing.

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
