    I'm happy to add plenty more, but the dehumanizing nature of it certainly is foundational. Who will teams find more appealing between two outfielders? It's an academic question that I thought might be relevant and engaging in a less-than-active forum, as both may or may not be gone tomorrow, so I put up a thread. But I cannot embrace the ethic of the trade. It is just an endless cycle. And there is always a value to keeping a player you think can help you. Every game, including today's, is someone's first. Every game is someone's last. Play it for all it's worth.

    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be fucking or stupid or circular or chase anybody away or parse anything to death. I didn't even mean to argue. I just wanted to know what I missed.
  3. Edgy MD
    But I suspect nobody has really been hanging on that answer.

    Trading is just bad. It's bad in an astounding number of ways. It was bad from the first time you were lining up in recess in second grade and some kids were talking about baseball and said about some ballplayer they would never know, "He sucks — trade him." It's the sea we swim in, so we just accept the massive amounts of toxicity as the only way there is, but it isn't.

    Did somebody blame the Dodgers for something?

    Then I am not the GM you seek. I work with a different magic.

    A Met team — that may be a lot different at the end of the day than the beginning — takes on the Miami Marlins as they send Robert Stock to the mound to fight for Gotham glory. And holy shit! Did I just type "Robert Stock"?!

    Fun Fact: The Mets were in a somewhat analogous position in 2023 when they dealt off well-paid established regular Mark Canha for minor-league starting pitcher Justin Jarvis, and economical-but-hot part-timer Tommy Pham for low-level minor-league infielder Jeremy Rodriguez. As Jarvis is no longer in the system and pitched badly in the Atlantic League this year, and Rodriguez remains in the system but isn't really progressing, I guess we can call that one a technical-but-Pyhrric win by a hair for Pham.

    I'm not advocating for the traded of either. They might both be gone by Tuesday morning and if so, that would answer the question. A pro-rated $20 million vs. a pro-rated $3.8 million is a big difference, and hot means more when you're only looking at the next eight weeks. Beyond that, I'm a poor man with a poor man's perspective, but I'm not sure I agree that $20 million for Luis Robert is "not-expensive."
  10. Edgy MD
    Who has more value out there — the guy who is more established on offense and defense, or the guy who is hot? Not necessarily how you, I'm askin', but how the market feels. I'm not sure I know the answer. Robert, however comes with a far steeper salary, along with a $20 million option/$2 million buyout for 2027. So it's gotta be Tay-Tay, right?

    As long as they have the trade deadline bumped to a Monday, they maybe ought to have cleared the schedule.
  12. Edgy MD
    Well, that was inauspicious. That game needed an Agbayani factor.
  13. Edgy MD
    Nice to hear Carlos Torres discussion in the booth. Wore the respectable number of 52, I believe.
  14. Edgy MD
    It's a little early in the season for us to be pitching a guy wearing #91.

    Ray Knight, sounding like an old guy who won't stop talking once he gets a hold of somebody's ear. Also Ray Knight, dropping a massive old F-bomb.
  16. Edgy MD
    Me, wondering why Jerry Koosman is being interviewed, before realizing it's Ray Knight. Also me, watching Griffin Conine SLAM one into the upper deck.
  17. Edgy MD
    Ojeda is not such a great interview. Just a little condescending.
  18. Edgy MD
    Dwight Gooden is always a great, thoughful interview these days, but it often sounds like his dentures are slipping.
  19. Edgy MD
    Extend Tyrone Taylor!
  20. Edgy MD
    I would guess safe. I would not consider the evidence of that to be clear and convincing, however.
  21. Edgy MD
    Three-nothing is going to be a tough hole for a non-1986 team to dig out of. PUT IN HEEP!
  22. Edgy MD
    It's amazing how there can be a different lineup every night but they usually find a way to get Baty in there.
  23. Edgy MD
    I hope Darling is on top of his game tonight. Wade Boggs, 3b Marty Barrett, 2b Bill Buckner, 1b Jim Rice, lf Dwight Evans, rf Rich Gedman, c Dave Henderson, cf Spike Owen, ss Bruce Hurst, sp Mookie Wilson, cf Tim Teufel, 2b Keith Hernandez, 1b Gary Carter, c Darryl Strawberry, rf Ray Knight, 3b Kevin Mitchell, lf Rafael Santana, ss Ron Darling, sp

    I wouldn't conclude that.
