Bloom should make the market for his trade pieces. Hopefully by now he’s identified those players and their most likely trade partners…..force the issue. Waiting for some “developing market” is losers mentality. If anything this offseason is the time to TRADE if clubs are hesitant to sign FA due to lockout……HorseTrader wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 08:30 am In my opinion this winter should be a "freebie" for Bloom. I say that because it won't be a normal off season. There will be no normal off seasons until the new CBA is finalized. Now I don't mean, Bloom should be congradulated for resigning Miles (god I hope not) just that I don't think we will see the REAL Bloom this year.
Whether will wait like Mo or be more active early is just guess work. My guess, he will be a little slower then we like. Mostly to allow the trade market for Arenado, Willie and Gray to shape up. Until he knows what's he's doing there, the rest will wait. Maybe a minor free agent signing or two
Exactly…..each day gone is a lost opportunity……MO’s waiting for “market to develop” is tied for the stupidest quote along with his “gotta see what we have”mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 09:13 am If he's trading guys with NTCs, he has to be aggressive now because there may be few teams who want them that they are also willing to go to. If the teams they are willing to go to fill their needs in other ways, you don't get them traded.

Meaning sit around and watch all the top FA and trade candidates sign or swap teams……and then proclaim to press that HE was in on every transaction
Bloom needs to be the activist predator this offseason……..Waiting……

Who says he's not pushing the issue?

The point is if he’s a trader then push the issue.
Be proactive and NOT REACTIVE ……as the last guy was
But if you have his secret game plan…..please share
Nice response. And accurate. Certainly works being done. Takes two to Tango. Also, no one else seems to be on an excelarated pace.ecleme22 wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 10:14 amWho says he's not pushing the issue?

Do you think he should've traded Gray or NA by now? Do you think teams are making either one of those a top priority immediately after the WS ended?
I don’t think I wrote that Gray and NA should’ve been traded by now…….Expressing that I really hope he’s proactive…..and since we’ve seen no signs yet…..none of us knowsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 10:26 amNice response.

How many teams will have NA as their first choice at 3B? I think that has a good chance to slow him down.Goldfan wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 11:12 amI don’t think I wrote that Gray and NA should’ve been traded by now…….Expressing that I really hope he’s proactive…..and since we’ve seen no signs yet…..none of us knowsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 10:26 amNice response.
