Kolek planning to go pro
Agree on the first. Watch them use the pick in a trade for Stanton...I believe they would have lost the pick last year, but they had already lost it to sign a free agent with draft pick compensation attached. The picks they lost were their first 2 I believe.
Can't trade draft picks.I'm not against the competitive balance picks but I think you should have to meet both market size AND revenue criteria.
Unlike other Draft picks, Competitive Balance Draft picks can be traded. However, they can only be traded during the regular season and cannot be dealt simply in exchange for cash. Additionally, a Competitive Balance Draft pick can be traded only by the club to which it was awarded. In other words, the picks may be traded no more than once.

OK, so why no Sammy? Logically there seems to be a disconnect there. Not just you either...
You would want a pitcher who won 86 games AND a pitcher who lost over 200 games with a 4.25 ERA?Might as well vote for me for watching hundreds of games.
Moyer was still getting paid for a 4.25 ERA though after 26 seasons.
Skin color has become way too creepy.
How much will St. Louis have to give up for Stanton?My guess is one good OF prospect and one good P prospect. I don't think they give up Reyes or Weaver, though.
Miller Park will become the new halfway house of MLB if this happens...https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-hot-stove-brewers-have-money-to-spend-reportedly-eye-jake-arrieta/amp/P
I’d do it under the condition Arrieta stays on HGH and gets Braun back on them so they can both be worth the paycheck they’d be receiving.
Don't forget the South Korean wunderkind...
Ehh. He wasn't very good even WITH the HGH. Unreal first month, pretty godawful after that.
Maybe the first month was the HGH?
If a well-run team that's in desperate need of starting pitching is letting one of their top starting pitchers walk, that'd be a huge red flag for me as a GM.
