What about pulling a Salvy and locking him up early at a cheap rate? He will be late 20s when the next wave comes up. Maybe the James Shields of that group

No one was giving us anything for Hosmer, Cain, Moose or Esky. We got more value from the draft picks we got for them than we would have from selling them. In 2016, we tried to trade Cain and Wade (and eventually traded Wade and Dyson). No one wanted Eric groundball Hosmer and Moose had torn his ACL, eviscerating his value. While you had merit to critique Moore’s desire to buy-buy-buy (especially last offseason) just dropping in to say “THEY SHOULD BLOW THE TEAM UP - I WAS RIGHT” isn’t actually saying anything, because there was no way to blow the team up when we weren’t getting anything back for the pieces you were advocating we should trade. With that said, I hope you stick around - and I do hope we can compromise on this issue here - because I do genuinely like your takes. |

Also not to be dismissive of your point Chiefs and Duncan you're right the value back was minimal at best but even if they made it to the playoffs last year's team wasn't doing shit. Again we'll agree to disagree but the process was delayed a year. Suppose in the long run it won't matter much.

Herrera is going to be worth a lot in July if he keeps this up.

He doesn’t even have a year of service time yet, so this is technically his first year (of six) of team control. I like Junis a lot, as I mention d earlier this week in the old thread. I’m a believer that he can be a good 2/3 type starter with sustaining the changes he made in August of last year (basically, he started throwing a sinker, too). He’s not even arb eligible until 2021 at this point. I think he’ll be around for the next wave of winning, barring injury. |

Kennedy, Junis, and Duda will singlehandedly lead us to a division title

Kennedy looked good today. I haven't been supporting him, but the 1 out strikeout with the runner on third was great pitching.
