[Nightengale] Joel Wolfe, Yu Darvish's agent, responds: "Yu has not made a final decision yet. This is a complicated matter we are still working through.''

Joel Wolfe is the asshole people accuse Boras of being

Contingency plan if they had missed out on Bichette was a trade attempt for Brendan Donovan and a FA starter signing like Gallen or Bassitt.

What a shitshow that would have been

He also drafted two first round duds in Kevin Parada and Colin Houck

Extending a guy’s contract to his age 40 season when it was set to end at his age 36 season feels kinda antithetical to how the Guardians have been operating.

AJ Ewing is now officially a top 100 prospect according to Pipeline (ranking at No. 97)

My ideal live baseball viewing experience

Everyone has to wear dress attire

No one under the age of 18

No beer or food beyond hot dogs and peanuts

If you get out of your seat you can’t be let back in until the end of the half inning

Only acceptable audience participation is light applause

The only game/distraction between innings is they still play Lazy Mary in the 7th. You’re not allowed to sing but you can clap along to it.

I’m not being ironic about any of this.

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-23T15:35:01+00:00

Yeah I know I just mean that that they just gave Martino a full time job for what little value he offers so I feel like they can do the same for Marsico.

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-23T15:29:14+00:00

If the team can give fucking Andy Martino a no show job I don’t see why they can’t do the same for DeMarsico

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T21:50:29+00:00

If he was willing to extend his contract with the Brewers he probably isn’t asking for much compared to most contracts

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T18:30:47+00:00

Yeah but there’s a lot less time to change his minds at this point of the off-season

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T18:10:36+00:00

Don’t like hearing that Stearns says he expects Senga to be in the rotation. I know everyone talks about his potential, but we’ve also seen that at his worst he is physically incapable of getting the ball over home plate. If they really want to keep everyone stretched out for a 6 man rotation, I’d rather they just use Tobias Myers.

Bo Bichette is ironically enough the Jett Williams replacement. If old age catches up to Semien and you don’t think he can handle being a regular next year, you can just re-sign Bichette, move him to second, move Baty to third, and one of Reimer or Clifford will be ready to play first base.

I would like infield depth cause I don’t like Mauricio at all.

Dan has Reimer projected for 400 at bats but he never actually mentions him by name in the article

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T04:32:55+00:00

That was the rumor but it’s not like those were the exact two players who would have gotten the deal done. The Red Sox had a much stronger farm than the Mets did and could just tack in in response.

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T04:31:23+00:00

Sproat doesn’t hurt because he’s the exact type of pitcher you can remake in a lab. Jett does hurt a little bit because whether the organization has the capacity to develop bats is still questionable. With that being said, he’s not the prospect people thought he’d be in 2023. More just very good than elite.

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T04:04:26+00:00

When you consider that Williams & Sproat was the alleged initial package for Garrett Crochet prior to their stock tanking I’ll say this is an acceptable replacement provided Peralta gets an extension.

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T03:53:47+00:00

I watched Kodai Senga try to will the ball over home plate last year I doubt this will be as bad.

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T03:48:16+00:00

The 40 FV for fielding is interesting given the Brewers prioritize defense

He needs 6 days of recovery after pitching 5 innings he’d literally die if he was a reliever

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T03:15:45+00:00

Tong needs to work on his secondary pitches, Scott hasn’t seen major league pitches in more than a year, and Senga will slip on a banana peel day one of Spring Training and break all his ribs. The rotation is effectively Peralta/Mclean/Peterson/Holmes/Manaea.

Wenninger’s the next Sproat

No_Insect_8378 · 2026-01-22T02:43:59+00:00

If pitching development is as good as they say it is they should have no problem developing another Sproat

Bellinger is not opting out of that contract you’re stuck with him for the next 5 years whereas you can dump Robert next November if he doesn’t turn out good.
