Big…I like him so much more than wimpy Kris Bryant. He’s the better player on that Cubs roster

As far as Max goes I'm sorry but you do everything you can to have that guy retire a Nat. He is still one of the best pitchers in the game.

These guys that we got back, idk. I'm just too pissed off to even care.

I'm an O's fan so my interest is different I don't mind moving on from talent but I think with what the Dodgers are getting the Nats could have gotten a bit more. No.1, No.2 and No. 17 ranked prospect in the farm and then an unranked prospect? I think they should have gotten another top 50 at least for two all stars including one HOFer still playing at a high level

Yeesh. I agree that the Nats don't seem to take care of their own but we'll see in regards to Soto. Kid is young as can be and he's already near MVP-contender status - they would do well to lock him up now before he keeps driving the price up.

Max deserves another shot at a title and he isn't gonna get that with us. He played out his contract and now trading him will pick us up assets that can be used to rebuild the team to be a contender again. It was a no-brainer imo. Love the guy - hope he goes into the HOF in a Nats uni - but this was a smart business move. The Nats have the worst farm system in the game and that's the price they paid to win a title. It has to be rebuilt if you expect to contend again.

Zero chance they sign Soto. Zero.

It's possible, but if they don't I expect multiple prospects in return.

How you make those moves and not sign him

The Lerner's pretty much suck but what we do have is a great GM in Rizzo. I will be tuning in to see this kid Gray pitch tomorrow.

Braves are finally over .500. This has been one fucker of a season. But sweeping the Cardinals is always fantastic.

This.

Rizzo is not one to sit on his ass if things aren't working. Leonsis could take a cue from him - it took him wayyyyy too long to get rid of Grunfeld and Scotty Brooks.

Chico23231 · 08-06-2021, 06:56 PM

Is Rizzo a great GM if the farm system is completely devoid of talent?

sdskinsfan2001 · 08-08-2021, 08:45 PM

Good series Mets!!

I couldn't care less what you label him.

The goal is to win titles - and he's ahead of many others in that regard.
