    They could get comparable returns if they deal any of Urquidy, Garcia, LMJ, France in the offseason

    Those two aren't enough for one of them, much less both.

    He will. All we had to do was resign Verlander but Crane wanted to be cheapo and now give up all we had.

    Yeah losing Clifford too hurts.

    Let’s revisit this after the season. If we win again and JV is big for the Astros it’s more than ok.

    The Mets better be sending back a ton of money for likely our 2 best prospects IMO
