My favorite post on the Astros trade thread is "I'm a businessman whose business model puts me in contact with doctors and doctors are dumb so...
yes there's been lots of reporting. i think the motivation for the interest is a bit more speculative, ranging from the idea that we're moving on...
It's crazy to think that, a few years from now, we'll almost certainly remember this trade for Montero, who was def the afterthought of the three...
I mean I think that's the overwhelming league consensus. He def slots ahead of Framber.
They control for this in the good studies buddy. Seriously, paste in the link to a quality, peer reviewed study that says myocarditis risk from...
I don't have the energy in the year of our lord 2022 but you are cherry picking limited downside outcomes (death) from random cross sections...
You can't use WAR/PA to compare Player A, who takes all comers in every PA, and Player B, who is only batted in optimal situations for him. It's...
i'm sorry i'm not following. it's not news that the rox tried to trade up to 1?
I'm literally not sure what inference you're trying to suggest. That McMahon's sources close to the Rox didn't go on the record? I literally don't...

I don't mean to exclude this possibility, but the more likely answer is that the right to match is much more valuable this year than it is next...
if he gets a big offer one can infer he would have gotten an even bigger one next year. if it's too big we let him walk, and the loss is 1 year of...
it's because they have a right to match this year and the $$ available are much smaller than next year. so the matching right is much more...
nobody thinks of tyty as a low IQ player.
Based on the reporting out there, this is roughly the deal they could have gotten at the deadline, maybe even a touch better. The real loss was...
you couldnt wait till the deadline because the trade partner would have lost the option to extend. the asset would have been a lot less valuable.
this isn't a serious answer. there were like 15 parts to that trade, memphis sent out the 17th pick to make that happen, and Valanciunas had 2...
