In Miami...

We turn from a marginal blue overall team to a mid green team on the road.

Looking forward to some arepas and croquettes.

- IAFAs are here. Spend that dough.
- Just a reminder, getting your minors autoed during Roster Check means you need to cut bait on the excess. It doesn't mean just slam them back into your minors. Repeat offenders doing this will just have me cut whoever is put in DFA during the minors auto.

I finally signed someone to 15m. 3rd times a charm

[DRiccio21]

so many good dudes on the trade block, shocking

[GeorgesGoons]

so many good dudes on the trade block, shocking

Even more shocking, not one nibble from anyone.

[Cnasty]

Lies!!

[GeorgesGoons]

Lies!!

You got Watkins.

So I won't say "not one nibble." Literally there haven't been one nibble on Carrillo and only one (besides Corey) on Booth, and neither had a top 20 prospect to give for a 26 year old stud SS.
