I know what you see with him (Tuck) with Julia, but he's not a nice guy. I am telling you, I am mad at Bregs, but Alex is a good dude. Most of these guys are. Tucker is a *****.

Sounds like the relief market is starting to percolate. Hopefully that means Presley moves soon. We need to get another leverage reliever and the outfield bat. If they can't move Ryan, Jim needs to just accept that the team will be over CBT and go get what we need.

So…over the years I don't think there is any argument that 2B had been the best position for the franchise.

Morgan, Biggio, soon to be Altuve. All HOF players with long tenure.

Add Doran and for a little bit Jeff Kent, Nellie Fox and Tommy Helms and you easily have the best position on the team and maybe the top 2B group in MLB. Certainly since expansion.

What's the worst? It's got to be catcher right?

The fact that Yainer after this season might be the best hitting catcher of all time is kind of damning.

7/245 and he will have pitched 3 of those years. He's paid for 2 more seasons.

That's why guys sign with Boras. When he hits a HR it's a bomb.

Now that first baseman Pete Alonso's camp has told the New York Mets he is willing to accept a three-year contract with opt-outs, other prominent free agents are contemplating whether to follow suit.

At least two right-hander Jack Flaherty and outfielder Anthony Santander are open to considering short-term deals with high average annual values, according to league sources briefed on their discussions.

If Biggio counts as a catcher. Then maybe SS? I think they are bottom two positions?
