Why don't you give some solid baseball opinions on the OP? Instead of trying to impress the other SAs.

Perhaps the new Moe knows instant hypnosis and then it's easy.
Walker and Norman for Skenes and the Jolly Roger.

You have been participating in the GDT. That’s great. You’ve been less thread heavy that too is good. You are a strong contributor with a mass of knowledge.Shady wrote: ↑07 May 2025 10:34 amAt least you gave some reasoning. Many here are more into SA remarks.

Second he’s a league level Ace. Two fledgling players won’t even touch that deal.
To your point. Remove Walker and Gorman, start with McGreevy graceffo and Pallante and at least they don’t hang up.

My opinion is that senior citizen centers could offer you a world of fun. I'm jealous that I'm unable to take an afternoon for a few leisurely games of shuffleboard. You could play backgammon, watch a Cardinal game with some the other fellas, even dance with Dorothy and Mildred to Lawrence Welk reruns. The last one wouldn't be my thing but you catch my drift.

That convo would most likely begin with Wetherholt, Saggessee, and a Libby or a GG.. Walker might be a throw in.... Doesn't matter though, Skenes isn't going anywhere any time soon. They don't have to pay him yet. That's when the Dodgers and the Yanks will be calling...sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑07 May 2025 10:50 amYou have been participating in the GDT. That’s great.

P. Skenes = Future LA Dodger...NY Yankee...or NY Met
BDWJr would gag on his future $50M AAV

Yes sir the time line doesn’t support it.

What too many can't decipher is, I just threw this out there for discussion. OI didn't propose the trade. There's a difference.
