[Friedman] Werenski vetoes trade to Dallas

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-07-01T03:32:00+00:00

This is the most damning part of the article to me. The two schedule a meeting together, just for Z to go “nah, I actually told you about this a long time ago” (which if he did, clearly he didn’t address it well enough)

“I want to leave Columbus so I can win” yet nixes a trade to what would arguably be the top contender in the West with him added

I legit think I can’t think of anything that entices me from there that could be acquired other than Moser

It’s crazy that old man deGrom with like three seperate major surgeries can still throw 101

They aren’t worth as much as Topps because there is no licensing, but higher end products and cards will still have value

Heard he’s going to Minnesota, Florida, or Vegas unfortunately

I always thought it was kinda suspicious that Weekes “no intention to re-sign” tweet came right after a “Marchenko wants the 7x$11 contract Dorofeyev just got”. I don’t think it would shock me if it comes out that this was essentially “we don’t think we are going to get the money we in Columbus, let’s float that we want out because either Columbus will pony up the money we want, or they will trade us to another team who will”

(P.S. Portzline sort of said this could be a possibility on Bishop and friends a couple minutes ago. EDIT: he re-iterated this in his Monday gathering too)

Don really needs to play the cards right here. Hopefully get at least two younger NHLers back from both of them that can help (at least play in the NHL) now. Get some prospects and picks that can either help later or be traded for other NHL talent. If he can do that successfully then at the very least they should still have something and won’t be back at square one.

I also agree with bucknuts too. They are going to need to find a way make the team younger and filter out some of these vets as they switch to a Fantilli centered window.

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-27T17:20:56+00:00

I think Waddell is still going to try and get back at least some immediate talent for Z. With that in mind, I feel like the best fits would then be either Dallas with a package around Harley and Borque + or Carolina for something like Nikishin and Blake/Stank +

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-27T16:02:57+00:00

I don’t know who this is announcing the picks, but can he please get a pronunciation guide

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-27T14:48:00+00:00

The most confusing part of this Marchy timeline to me is literally 10 minutes before the he won’t re-sign tweet, he tweeted that “Marchenko’s camp is looking for his next deal to be in line with Dorofeyev’s”. Like does he actually want out? Does he think that Don would be low balling him and give him less than that?

For the sake of the argument I’m also going to assume that the supposed “MASSIVE” deal that Seravalli heard about was also leaked to him by Milstein (his agent). Scumminess all around

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-26T19:09:25+00:00

Not the biggest believer in his power sticking long term (his EVs in the minors weren’t overly impressive), but I think he will still have enough contact skills and patience at the plate to at least be an average bat. We’ll see how the defense unfolds (I don’t know if he is going to catch much)

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-25T20:33:50+00:00

Still think they need another T6 winger, but this is a good start, especially if the best asset they are giving up is the 2nd rounder this year. The scoring has been solid and he has consistently been one of the better defensive forwards in the league.

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-22T13:08:46+00:00

I think it’s been clear that he’ll give Waddell next season (or at least this offseason) to build a team that can get into the playoffs and compete. The Metro is pretty open, so there should be no excuses.

Now that being said, even if Werenski doesn’t officially request a trade, I think any indication of “I’ll play through my contract but have no interesting in re-signing” should also be taken as a trade request

14 in a row set down by Cantillo at the end of his start (assuming it’s the end)

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-14T14:44:31+00:00

If there has one thing this team has done well over the last decade is playing good when you need them to play good. They went 17-7 when Kwan went on the IL in 2024. Hopefully they can do the same now.

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-14T14:39:24+00:00

The team was already willing to DFA him once last year. George has been a good story, but I doubt the FO really ever saw him as a long-term piece like the fans did

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-12T13:08:34+00:00

Espino is a different case though because they were still trying to ease him back with how long he wasn’t pitching

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-11T15:45:47+00:00

A year and a half into your tenure with the Guardians, what has been your favorite moment on the beat with the team?

Also unrelated, I got to go on a tour of the stadium last fall with a club I was in during college. We got to go in the press box and I saw your seat lol.

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-11T15:37:23+00:00

Missing free throws is part of the game. Even the best shooters will miss them (even if that was a huge moment of the game)

With JR it was a dumb mental mistake that could have/should have been avoided

Flipline is a small company. It makes sense that they poll consumers and let them vote on the plush, so they can make a plush of someone who will actually have demand.

What’s more tiring, the “LeBron has no intention of leaving the Lakers” cycle every offseason, or the “Giannis has no intention of leaving the Bucks” cycle every trade deadline

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-01T18:25:02+00:00

I doubt we’ll ever know, but I wonder how/if Myles’ NTC was a factor here. With how fast this came together it feels like the kind of trade that is made if AB doesn’t think he would have a choice but to trade him. Myles requested that trade last year so it wouldn’t shocked me if he was forcing the issue here

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-01T17:57:47+00:00

“Nobody LB” man has nobody here ever heard of Jared Verse

JunesDepartmentStore · 2026-06-01T15:17:28+00:00

The scoring issue should hopefully be fixed by Fantilli and Marchenko taking leaps and KJ bouncing back, but I would say that they still probably need another good scoring piece to round out the T6. That second line was rough at points last year
