I've made trades. You have not. Have fun sipping Peach Bellinis at the Winter Meetings?
My team is immensely better. We are primed to completely panic once ZiPS are released! So many trade blocks asking for help. So many trade blocks reeking of desperation! Are we living in a world where you can just "wait and see!?"
I have escaped the atrocity that will be Tier 2/Day 1!
THIS WILL BE MY GREATEST VICTORY!

This is mostly hear because I hate keeping up with 20+ pages of trash talk, especially after it goes cold for awhile. Please place your smack talk and garbage fires here.
Thanks!

To CLE:
Pick 3.23
Pick 3.30
Pick 4.02
NYM 2021 3rd
To NYM:
Pick 1.19
Wilson Ramos
What is this? Ramos coming off a good year. I mean, it's 4 picks! I just... I don't know. What is this?

It is the First Round Pick inflation. The pick carries this sort of value, until the player is selected with the pick, then it's probably a pair of 3rds.

Damn Mike Trout will get less than that next year when MIA has to trade him.

Let's be clear.. and Ian will save this and text it to me one day to use against me in trade discussions but:
Never discount my abilities. Trout is going nowhere.
Also, I hate the Phillies despite my irrational occasional fondness for Mike.

Opinions vary on this, though Ian did use some kind of dark magic to get me to take Archer. This must be what the Pirates felt like after trading Meadows and Glasnow..except Loaisiga is not them.
I will not miss Hicks and Murphy, what's 200 rbi mean anyway?
I still like my chances this year though...and I have only begun. From 56 mm over to 14 under in a few weeks. Please, please doubt me.
Please

I'm looking forward to the sweet aroma of rotting fish when the midsummer dumpster fire called MIA occurs. Nothing like fresh skewered Trout on the barbecue. |

Just a reminder, Hayes is a problem. Please verbally abuse him on the message board and in Slack. Tis' the season.

Three trades so far this offseason with 3 different GMs. Pirates aren't resting on their laurels. This franchise grabs its lunchbox, goes to the ballpark, and works the trade floor until deals get done. Just putting in work.
Back under my cap, lads. #recognize

Ian, there’s a difference between being selective and making love to a few beautiful women over a lifetime, versus tapping anything that moves.
I’ll put you in the latter camp. GMs are riding you hard, and putting you away wet.

I am going to make both you- and Dave- pay for that Sonny Gray trade all. season. long.
Dude got me going with a fierce trade hard'on, then cut me off cold. Total bushleague move.

Ok, Ed, that’s egregious! You don’t have to pull a full Ramsey to prove you’re bad at this. The Sale contract will live on forever as evidence. Please, give your heart a break.

I mildly disappointed that there weren't any Xmas-afterglow trades posted this morning. I was hoping some eggnog induced hotness would magically appear.
Also, Jason and Jim deserve each other. I do feel quite bad about the Dom Smith thing and my brain won't stop running scenarios where I trade for a 1B. You're both jackalopes and deserve to be made into sausage.

Cle receives:
F Martes
A Medina
K Akin
J Sanchez
Tor receives
J Kelenic
I may be inviting a message board beatdown on myself, but I was kind of curious to get feedback on this one. Somehow 2 years in I still feel like I'm well behind the league in valuing my assets correctly. My thinking is that my minor league roster was really weak on depth, especially pitching. This deal solved that problem while providing a limited downgrade in OF to Sanchez. Thoughts?

You just have to be careful. The name “Tracy Kienast” actually translates to “Quantity over Quality” in Latin. Kelenic is a pretty legit prospect to give up.

I'm uncertain... for all the crazy trades I will make and have made, I think I still prefer Kelenic. It's close. Given the state of your reserves, I don't know if they're that much different. Just a little lower ceiling overall.

I have Medina in league where Phillies superfine Eric Karabell is the GM of the phillies nd he's never come knocking on the door asking about him... so... another person NOT inquiring about a prospect can tell you as much as when they do...
Kelenic is the #1 in the deal for me too. I would take the security over the risk.

Not sure what’s going on with that Cole trade. As a real-life Pirates fan, I had to re-live the agony of a AAAA player dump.
Laureano is the only player of real value going back there. Disappointing.
