I’m curious to see how Cohen responds to this adversity. San Diego has just doubled doubled doubled down on their weakness -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jul 28, 09:56 12
- I want to say Cohen said the long term plan was to build up the farm system after attempting to go all in. -- nm - Tim Jul 28, 10:40
- I think SD is about to sell hard, possibly including Soto. - David Jul 28, 09:57 10
  - They thought that was their window…and let’s be honest - before the last 12 months, Soto was at worst the 3rd most “all-Time potential” guy in basebal - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:01 8
    - We had this discussion almost exactly a year ago! -- (link) - David Jul 28, 10:06 [Backboard] 7
      - I look at their team stats, and there's no reason they should be this bad...they have at least 3 guys on pace for 6+ WAR - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:13 6
        
        Alex Anthopoulos has quietly assembled a superteam of baseball quants, and the one thing he prioritizes the most is clubhouse fit. - David Jul 28, 10:30 5
        
        Plus having a few of the guys take robbery-level contracts to facilitate payroll space. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:34 2
        
        I feel a lot worse about Albies. I honestly wish we'd fix it. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:37 1
        
        Albies is an underpay, but where he was at the time...it could have gone the other way within reason. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:49
        
        What if you don’t use analytics or care about the clubhouse? Sounds like a winning team, right? - spamlet Jul 28, 10:34 1
        
        The fact that y'all couldn't unlock Giolito is maddening. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:35
  - Hader/Snell being talked up for dealing -- nm* - budice Jul 28, 09:59
The Mets implosion has been particularly enjoyable this season -- nm - rollo Jul 28, 09:52 1
- Appreciate the Angels are buyers and likely lose Ohtani and not make the playoffs -- nm - budice Jul 28, 09:55
