I stick with uverse to keep my unlimited cap on internet but they are just now starting to put in AT&T fiber in my area where I think the 2nd tier of internet comes with unlimited caps so I'm thinking about switching to that and just cutting the ****ing cable on TV and streaming everything with Kodi and a couple subs.

Well, I'm glad the Cubs and the Brewers are playing each other right now because I don't expect things to roll along like they have been against the Asstros.

It’s less than what Adam Eaton and Jose Quintana commanded. I wouldn’t call either of them a straw stirrer or centerpiece, but they were viewed as very valuable complementary pieces. I fully realize it’s a lot but I don’t blame the Royals for holding out for a similar, if slightly lighter, haul. Trading him for the type of package you suggest just doesn’t move the needle. If given the choice between just riding out his bargain deal (and having a fan favorite, veteran leader to build culture and take pressure off the debuting young players) and taking some scratchers ticket guys, I know I’d take the former. If that means he’s just a 2-win player by the time they start ramping up again and talking contention (2022) so be it. |

Eaton was 2 years younger and Quintana is a pitcher who was traded to a team in the same city and in both scenario's there isn't a person around that thinks the teams that acquired those players did not overpay for them. Those players didnt command that, the Cubs and Nationals just went full reerun.

Both those deals had top 10 guys as the centerpieces. Big difference in value in those guys and a guy in the top 30 range. Eaton’s included another top 50 guy and a guy a year removed from being a first round pick in Dunning, who had played well. Quintana’s included a second top 75 guy in Cease. I was posting from my phone and should clarify a bit. When I was saying top 30 guy, what I really mean is a guy around the top 30, with someone in the 30-50 range qualifying. Poor wording choice on my part. Top 30-50 type. Top 50-75 type. That’s the type of “blow away” I think it would take. I don’t see any value in a deal like the one DJ proposed, at this point for KC. There’s no point in trading him for a package that doesn’t include a single top 100 guy. They don’t need quantity or prospect depth. They need quality. They’re better off at that point just waiting for the offseason to move him, if that’s the best offer available. |

Haven’t really been following baseball that close this year(Royals are tanking) but was pleasantly surprised to see you guys in first. Congrats!
