Winter meetings over...how do you grade Bloom

[scoutyjones2]

Winter meetings have been a bunch to do about nothing for quite some time. Trades are rare, at least for the Cardinals. Seems to be a big meet and greet, I'll call you later bucket of nothing. I quit paying attention years ago.

Cards were active the last few winter meetings...Sonny Gray was signed late November. WillyCon in December

You quit paying attention from birth

[Ozziesfan41]

Big fat zero

Only an idiot would grade a POBO after the winter meetings. Oh yea you’re an idiot

Playing to all the excitement and great expectations and how some on CT are so excited like a kid before Christmas! Hurdy is on fire! Bloom is running things and no more Slo Mo...

And boom...

Crickets

Oh so not only are you an idiot but you’re an idiot troll also okay

The difference is Mo would pack it in and be done afterward I’ll bet bloom makes several more moves before spring training but you know that too you’re just being an idiot and trolling because you’re crying because your precious mo is is gone. Poor Scouty going to be crying and whining a long time over mo leaving

[RunSup]

Incomplete. The off-season is not over.

So you have inside info that he isn't working on a thing or two from the meetings?

I love that you think I love the front office, others wonder if I hate them. Good for all.

I don't cry over baseball. I'm told there's no crying in baseball.

Again, still not paying attention

Are you kidding you’ve done nothing but defend mo and lash out at anyone who said something bad about him like you were married to him it was super weird. Now since he’s gone you’ve entered a full blown meltdown bashing bloom every chance you get now starting a whole thread to bash him because he didn’t make a trade at the winter meetings lol hilarious. Anytime u start feeling upset about bloom just google a picture of mo in his sharpest bow tie that will cheer you right up and dry those tears

Hilarious attempting to give a grade on a GM at meetings where no teams made any significant trades .

Thank goodness MLB Network didn't tell their analysts , you will be paid by your trade analysis comments on air rather than the total hours you sit behind the desk for your shifts ... IF they had, there would be NO checks in the mail for the 'talking heads' . Another big fat zero !


What I found interesting is that these POBO types mention that most all communication on trades is done thru phone text, a phone call, or zoom chats on a computer. Most have no face to face meetings with the other GM's . They all gather at these posh resort locations and could do the same thing right from their local city baseball offices . At least, Disney is making tens of thousands on rooms, meal, etc.
One guy commented , back a few years ago two GM"s would sit at the bar and over a drink work out a trade . No more !
No commentator will bite the hand that feeds them but even they must feel foolish spending all that air time as 'experts' and having no trades made just a couple free agent signings .

So Harold Reynolds, Matty V. Lauren Shehadi get to be wined and dined for a few days on the MLB tab. Nice freebie vacation !

Typical of this generation. Zero social skills. Probably can't handle face to face meetings. Letting this generation of geeks run baseball clubs is also a MAJOR problem.

And get somebody started, and 30 people replied to, a thread about Christmas is coming this week

[Absolut]

Thank you. The point of this thread.

Worse than coal...nuttin. bunch of sad little boys

Too early to tell. He worked it to find out what he had in terms of offers. Now he will study and probably make counter proposals.

I continue to think Arenado isn't going to be as easy to trade as some think.

Nado is the least of their worries or should be. This is about talent acquisition. Donny and WillyC need to be moved for talent and they HAVE to get these players right at least some of them.

Nado is just a dump. Who cares if he stays or goes only 2 years left on his contract.

Because everybody knows that rosters freeze in mid December. No other roster changes can take place. What we’ve got today is what we must play with for 2026. Yep, we lost the mid December cup.

Well, He is new. Give him a couple of years.
