*Meet with Bloom and straighten the team out!
*Take a majorly REAL DUMP together in their hotel bathroom!
*Give each other a couples massage!

Now.....that would be BAZAR!
Cuse your ability to deviate from discussing the actual baseball topic, to name call, to put your bathroom fantasies on an anonymous baseball forum,
And congratulate other posters for their juvenile name calling is top notch “I need a shrink behavior. If you can form a cogent baseball thought about whatever position your attempting to get across ……leave all the sniping teenage girl activities to your other forums.
Normal people would write”I don’t believe BDW is dumping salary and Donny will bring a truly impressive haul of premium prospects”. At least it’s a baseball take.

It might be...but, it doesn't change the fact that Goldfans first 2 sentences about you are accurate.

They owed Gray $40M/1yr or $65M/2yr.

They are now paying Gray $20M/0yr and May $12.5M/1yr for a total of $32.5M/1yr.

May won't likely cover all of the innings Gray would have covered, but Fitts + May together should get those innings covered.
The question was about our 29th ranked offense.

For a team that is supposed to be rebuilding there sure is a lot of building that isn’t happening. We did not even send a top five prospect to AFL if I’m not mistaken.
Don’t the cardinals all the sudden have nearly the top rated farm system in baseball?
Then everyone got tired and couldn’t wait for the season to be over around Sept 15. JJW never got promoted. Just went home when Memphis was done. Doyle got all of 3 IP. No one of significance went to AFL either.

I get that we have to handle pitchers with kid gloves and be afraid they might break but hitters need to hit. Probably year round until they perfect the art.

There hasn’t been much notable progress in our farms physical development for 13 weeks now, while creative options are out there.
I respectfully disagree on multiple fronts.

Hitting cannot be perfected.

Nobody should hit 12 months a year.

JJ not getting promoted is not that big a deal. He’s either going to be successful or he won’t, and not getting called up will not be the reason either way

Doyle pitched a full college season and nearly doubled his innings in 2025 from 2024. He did not need to pitch more.

Maybe it would have been nice to send some guys to the AFL, but to indict the entire farm system bc of that doesn’t make any sense.

There has certainly been improvement over 13 weeks. Guys are working out, they probably have been hitting for weeks now. Just because you don’t see them playing games does not mean they’re not getting better

Spent a good portion of yesterday through 3 different thread with a couple of rude, uninformed, emotional, name calling posters telling me how stupid I am for rationally pointing out this is a salary dump exercise and the prospect return WILL stock this team with it’s future…..and less than 24hrs later
Bloom helps solidify my point……Priceless :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think ya’ll will remember the day before the Gray trade I stressed that Bloom needed to get in the game and was also Chastised by the uninformed
Turn in to the same handle if you wish to know where this team is going and pay close attention to the timing
Them fellas sure learned me good yesterday :lol: :lol: :lol:

Because you choose to ignore reality doesn’t make you right and I see you still haven’t figured out what a salary dump is or a rebuild

We all know what a rebuild is. Also we know they often don’t work out. Expect to be disappointed by the returns from these trades until they actually prove something at the MLB level.

Let me make sure I understand your point. It sounds like you are saying that the prospects that Bloom is collecting don’t matter, and that MLB locks in rosters for the season in December. That is some sound logic. Keep up the good work. You’re rockin’ baseball analysis.
