This article is saying that 3 top 65 prospects, a lottery ticket and a recent top tier pitching prospect isn’t a good haul? Wtf?

That’s a *great* amount of talent to trade for Soto…I guess it might be light for Bell and Soto but 4 legitimate top tier prospects is not a bad haul. Anyone writing that should be smacked.

Responses:

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
