What does that have to do with a leadoff jack?tjack16 said:
I wish we had a player in the minors who could rotate all the outfield positions and first base. Somebody who preferably bats lefty with some speed and power that could provide a spark and the team would play well while he's up
Don't know where we could possibly find that though…

BTW, Joey has struck out 10 times in his last 20 AAA ABs. He's not the savior he's made out to be.
Trading key guys will not fix 24, but candidly it appears nothing will so that's irrelevant. Then you're down to 2025 wondering if it's realistic a below .500 team that loses Bregman and has a year older JV is going to realistically turn it around.Farmer1906 said:
Wheels falls off = out of contention
Trading the key players for 2024 and 2025 will not fix 24 and 25. There is no guarantee it fixes things in 26 and 27.

No guarantee it fixes things by '26 or '27, but would put us in a better position than standing pat or trading even more of whatever little potential we have in the minors, no?
Do you see us competing in realistic way next year? This year...well...lol.

Possibly.
I trusted Jeff. I trusted Click with Jeff's leftovers. I don't trust Brown with Crane's overreach and aging core.

I agree here. We've seen no real evidence that the Brown and Crane combo can be successful together.
Not that I want us to rush ourselves back to the dark ages, but I worry that selling more will delay any potential rebuild. Maybe we bring in someone besides Brown who can be successful in that kind of role by '26 or '27?
Fair enough on whether you trust those to properly rebuild. I do think Dana would have more control in trades. I just don't see Crane, Bags or Reggie being in the weeds enough to have an opinion on prospects to acquire. Really I don't think Bags likes the heat he is getting from fans and is looking to distance himself.Farmer1906 said:MaxPower said:Trading key guys will not fix 24, but candidly it appears nothing will so that's irrelevant.

We still have about a 1/3 shot of the postseason. Even if we don't then we have the offseason to try to fix things. If you decide to sell then 2025 will be an abject failure and I think the long term future will be to with the people in charge. We waste the rest of the time we have Altuve, Javier, & Yordan. No trust in Brown & Crane means any rebuild is likely to fail in my eyes at least at this point in time.

Good luck to him with Real Madrid + Mbappe!
Who claimed that? I think most of us here were generally pretty happy with his moves. (I may be forgetting a key topic, though)Lonestar_Ag09 said:f1ghtintexasaggie said:Farmer1906 said:f1ghtintexasaggie said:Farmer1906 said:

We also claimed click sucked and didn't make any meaningful moves and most positives are only obvious now after he's gone.
Most GM's aren't evident good or bad right away.

Do we know when the Ags play next? Is it Friday?
