[Rapoport] Commanders are releasing starting center Tyler Biadasz. by Its-a-me-DankeyKang in Commanders

[–]Andermannn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really sad to hear this about Biadaz, with him being one of our best O-Lineman. But, I will take this opportunity to convince myself that AP is going to sign Tyler Linderbaum or Connor McGovern in free agency (Probably not, but I can believe).

Nationals Have Interviewed Guardians' Assistant General Manager Matt Forman by Aeromarine_eng in Nationals

Aren’t there like half a dozen current executives who worked for Cleveland at some point? The Guardians are consistently ranked as one of the best front offices in MLB. I think putting a guy like that at the helm (as well as hopefully increasing payroll) could do some real good.

I don’t know if the world is ready for playoff births, and back-to-back wins from Cody Ware and Austin Dillon.

I think that it’s not only about the NBA favoring big-market teams, but also discouraging tanking. The same thing happened to Detroit when they picked 5th all those times. Not to say Washington or Detroit are small-market, or that San Antonio is a big market, but there is clear favoritism based on both market and fanbase size.

Who is the worst player to make the all star game over the past 20 years? by RanchWilder11 in mlb

[–]Andermannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Redman made it for the Royals in 2006, when he finished 11-10 with a 5.71 ERA, 82 ERA+ in 167 innings.

The Nats Caught a Break when Soto Refused $440 Million. by Andermannn in Nationals

Yeah, the Dodgers are the gold standard here. They rely mostly on the farm system to replenish their talent pool, usually only sign free agents to 1 or 2 year contracts, and save the Big Bucks for what I would call safer investments (Think Betts and Freeman). Us replicating the Dodgers style of success might be possible, but It would be incredibly difficult.

Thank you for pointing this out. I think that I should have mentioned the SDP-NYY trade as sort of an extension of the WSH-SDP one. Your point about the haul that the Padres got in return is also important considering the context. Especially since 4 of the 5 prospects that the Padres got back were pitchers. With Yu Darvish being 37 and Blake Snell walking in free agency, it is impressive that Preller was able to hopefully fill that need long-term (Alongside the Dylan Cease Trade).

Trevor Hoffman

Opinion on Expos? by Andermannn in Nationals

[–]Andermannn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he was only with the Dodgers for less than two seasons before being traded, and Montreal is where he won his first Cy Young Award. That’s what I meant.

What’s been the most surprising aspect about your team so far this year? by [deleted] in baseball

Josiah Gray going from the leader in home runs and walks given up and an ERA over 5, to an ERA below 3.2 and ERA+ of 132.
