Kolek planning to go pro
Indians reportedly probing the waters for Bryce Harper. Intriguing.
I am so interested in what Washington does in the next 18ish hours. What they decide could really impact the races.I am not interested in any of the other BS happening here.
Amen.If they trade Harper, shouldn't they also try to trade Murphy and Zimmerman - two guys approaching their mid-thirties??
I’d love to have Herrera, however, it sounds like they are asking for a package much larger than they paid to get him.
Isn't apologizing and showing through your actions that "you're not that person today" sufficient for forgiveness?
Absolutely, he's accomplished the first part, hasn't had sufficient time to accomplish the second.....so we can hold off on standing Os for a bit. If he actively demonstrates through word and deed that he's changed (part of that is outreach) then I'll do a standing O for him myself if required. Until such time, I'll sit quietly and wait.
Is there be anything more Nationals than making it publicly known that Harper is available 18 hrs before the deadline, thereby damaging your relationship with him, your vets, and your fans while not allowing other teams time to put good packages together, and then not trading him anyway?
Shouldn't they? He is basically the last high leverage reliever left ( doesn't seem like Iglesias is available) and there are still a lot of teams that need him. They'd be crazy to ask for less than they traded for him.
Except when they traded for him, they were trading for 3.5 months of use. Now a team will only get 2 months of use.
Not just that, but consider Lenny's question: "Is there anyone, anywhere who hasn't said or done things as an adolescent or young adult that wouldn't prove embarrassing?"That means that Hader basically did what most people do - realize that he said dumb things when he was young. Is that standing ovation worthy even if he is showing that he's not that person today? Or is that simply part of the process of growing up?
I dunno, maybe I'm being naive but I don't think what Hader said was A) is common amongst youth to say out loud B) something youth 7 years ago were actively posting in a public forum. Now you can argue that I'm wrong because now there are at least 3 baseball players with the same issue, but I just don't think the level of vitriol is that common.
Thanks for being no fun at all Mr. Rizzo.
Brewers appear to be one of the most serious contenders for Chris Archer.

Seems not to be headed to Crew based on latest info according to JP Morosi. 3 hours.
