How are you going to get Alcantara? The most logical trade chip for Alcantara is Crooks. Although they will probably ask for Bernal IMO.

Donavan a sub? Really? And I think Oli is a joke...

No, not a sub. He is an everyday guy that would just play multiple spots.

Then trade them Crooks!

Put the XBox controller down, man.

This is your brain on drugs…

[Absolut]

Trade donavon for judge. If you’re smoking crack, why stop at half a rock?

Why is that, 45? Because adding Alcantara, Tucker, and a bat like Suarez wouldn't make us better?

Now you're just being silly, guy!

What are you spending to keep/ aquire Suarez, sandy, Helsley, maton and Tucker? Who are you sending arenado to?

Who is managing this trainwreck? Why don’t we have Skenes?

Because the DeWitts aren't spending the money to sign Tucker.

I have no idea, just talking......

Alcantara would probably cost a young prospect. Maybe a C plus? Maybe a Walker or Gorman plus?

Trading Nado to whoever will take him and he would okay.

QO Helsley. Maton won't cost a lot. Suarez would be a short term deal. (I'm okay without him.)

Tucker is the big $ deal.

Cards can afford those moves.

Manager....Yadi or Albert. Maybe first ever co-managers, lol. Anybody but Marmol.

Skenes??? Let's be serious!
