@PaulCubbage23 Oh no. Didn’t pitch well in a game that has much meaning as spring training? What will we do

@georgerlewis Those 3 are also awful at their jobs, I’m tired of all commentary jobs going to old players that make you go “look, it’s that guy!” rather than people who know what they’re talking about and don’t just fire off tired boomer takes

Out of my lane, but why does the All-Star pregame show on Fox have an AI slop video montage of A-Rod, David Ortiz, and Derek Jeter?

@NatsNextGen @NationalsSource I need to do a deeper dive into next years class soon, but I think so, as long as Whitney comes back looking sharp he’s the best college arm since Skenes imo. Volantis and Valincius are nice consolation prizes however

@BTB7_ @NatsNextGen @NationalsSource Which arm would that be, cause none other than Flora went top 15 and certainly none stuck out to me as a necessity at 11. I like Flukey, but I like Hacopian more

@NatsNextGen @PaulCubbage23 @NationalsSource And we had a great opportunity to take a legit college arm in this class and passed on one for a one-tool bum who will be a DH. Toboni has left a lot to be desired so far. No one bats 1.000, but he has a lot of negative marks so far.

@bradlordfan 100%, tho I imagine he ends up in the top 10 as long as he’s sticking at catcher and doesn’t fall of a cliff offensively

Hassell just made it through waivers untouched so his trade value is probably zero, Franklin prob has a little but not much. Relief pitchers cost too much and are only worth it for teams truly a bullpen piece or two away from a title, I’d go for some controllable buy lows but that’s about it

@PaulCubbage23 I only would for guys with multiple years of control, and from a position where we have a lot of depth, like OF. Like, if we could get Daniel Lynch IV or Chase Silseth for Robert Hassell III or Christian Franklin, I'd do it. But I don't want to give anyone up for a rental.

Even trades that feel inconsequential at the time can be disasterous in the long run. I don’t want the Nats giving up anyone inside their top 25 prospects for pitching in a season where they are a long shot to even make the Wild Card
PetersonIsKing@Peterson_IsKing

Worst trades in recent MLB history Indians trade Junior Caminero to the Rays for Tobias Meyers Mets trade Pete Crow-Armstrong to Cubs for Javy Baez Dodgers trade Yordan Alvarez to Astros for Josh Fields White Sox trade Fernando Tatis Jr and Erik Johnson to Padres for James Shields Red Sox trade Mookie Betts and David Price to Dodgers for Alex Verdugo, Jeter Downs and Connor Wong Marlins trade Christian Yellich to Brewers for Lewis Brinson, Isan Diaz, Monte Harrison and Jordan Yamamotto

Willits at SS is just about the only thing I’m confident of long term. One of King or DFG will likely work out and be the long term second baseman, the other hopefully also works out and we figure that out later, whether it’s new position or trade. I think Hacopian should move to third perhaps, not sure he’s quick enough laterally for the middle infield, and helps sort out the logjam there. Mead can either swap back to 1B or be dealt, and Abrams either move to OF or be dealt. By 2029, INF could look like: 1B: Mead, Ortiz, YoYo, revolving door of platoon bats, etc 2B: King 3B: Hacopian SS: Willits

Abrams and Mead don’t grade out well defensively, but the bats for sure play Fien can be a future 3B; I don’t know enough defensively about Fitz-Gerald Hacopian is an easy option for Future 2B… so I'll pass it to @PaulCubbage23. What would you do?

Ive been thinking of the Nationals infield since the draft Luis Garcia Jr (1B) Black hole (2B) CJ Abrams (SS) Curtis Mead (3B) Drafted: Chris Hacopian (2B) Minors: Eli Willits (SS), Devin Fitz-Gerald (SS), Gavin Fien (SS)

I think Boras would loosen his stance on always hitting FA if the ability to have a bidding war is capped either by a max contract like the NBA or the rich teams can’t blow the little guys offers out of the water anymore, cap won’t matter if the Lerners just don’t care, but if they do just a little, I think a deal can get done to keep Wood around a long time

@PaulCubbage23 I really don’t know if adding a bird rule would stop the game. It will be interesting to see how it goes

@NationalsSource I think I’m willing to sacrifice baseball in 2027 for that reason, for keeping Wood in DC and to stop the little guys from getting picked on for years in mock trades and whatnot when they have a superstar

@AJ_Lich That’s fair, but there’s gotta be a better solution than practically offering less than 1% of slot value on top 10 round picks

@PaulCubbage23 Conversely, these guys have reason to get drafted instead of being undrafted now because of the bonus pool system

The bonus pool system for the MLB Draft can create some fun strategy, but it also leads to bullshit like this. Congrats on achieving your lifelong dream of being drafted to professional baseball, here’s a 500 dollar signing bonus
Carlos Collazo@CarlosACollazo

The Braves signed each of their college seniors in rounds 8-10 as well. They used these picks to create $653,300 in savings for their overslot HS players: 8th round Jacob Jarrell, $500 9th round Parker Brosius, $500 10th round Ben Zeigler-Namoa, $500
