Yanks looking like the 4th best team in the east

Elias rightfully gets dragged for holding onto prospects. So I like that he finally pulled the trigger for once. Just wish that it wasn't a division rival. And for a guy three+ years removed from TJS with question marks on if he can pitch a full season. Also man the price of front end arms is going up even more if Baz is commanding a haul like this.

I’d be nervous trading prospects to tampa

Their scouting department is great

That's supposed to be Elias strong point since you know he's part of the braintrust that built up the Astros.

Also been seeing reports today that it looks like the O's are going to get to the number that Ranger Suarez is after.

Jim Palmer sayin fukk them prospects

Trent Grisham
Amed Rosario
Paul Blackburn
Ryan Yarbrough

I thought y'all was getting Jap Muncy? Does anyone even want him?

He might not even be that good.
And Hal Steinbrenner is crying that he’s not making a profit

I ain't want him but Dodger should just offer him a minor league deal at this point

I feel bad for Jap Muncy he was probably hoping to join the GOAT but he too bummy to be on his roster

Having to settle for the White Sox

A year ago people were writing like Murakami was going to be the top Japanese player on the market.
I read (and kinda felt) like he was the big fish the Yankees needed to solidify 3B.

Only 34M means there were serious doubts about whether he could handle Major League velocities.

Yeah, that early hype was strong. Going to the white sox and then also possibly being a bust of a signing.
