The 2018 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

[THEREALBRAND]

The Miami Marlins this winter have slashed payroll by trading all of what might have been the best outfield in the National League last season: Giancarlo Stanton to the New York Yankees, Christian Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers and Marcell Ozuna to the St. Louis Cardinals.

The union has lodged a complaint with the commissioner's office over whether the Marlins are properly investing their revenue-sharing millions back into the team, the Miami Herald reported Friday.

"That is something we might have to address, so you don't have a lot of Miami Marlins doing this," Jansen said. "Maybe it's an adjustment for us, as the players' union. Maybe we have to go on strike, to be honest with you. That's how I feel about it."

I wonder if most players have similar feelings.

Coulda had Yelich

Got a starting 5 of Teheran, Folty, Wisler, Blair and Kazmir

If we win more than 70 games I'll be shocked

How do the Dodgers still have a stacked farm year after year even though they're always good and pick late?

Them and the Red Sox probably the best in drafting especially in the mid to late first round and mid rounds

He left the Sox in 2011 so I'm not sure how many current guys he drafted

Cherington then who followed Theo and worked with him for a while

Dombroski will change their goood drafting

The farm sucks because they traded their top prospects away which is dombrowskis M.O. Chavis and Groome are high end prospects though at least.

Most of the deals were worth it..their lucky Anderson Espinoza got Tommy John because if healthy he has the potential to make that Pomeranz trade look historically bad
