Re: 2026 Prospects Thread

Other than his one inning in the futures game, Kade hasn't pitched since July 3rd. They don't have him listed as the probable starter until Friday. that's a full 3 weeks off. I wonder what the thought is behind that.

Re: Official MLB Trade Deadline Thread (Rumors and Ideas Welcome)

He hasn't been the statistical equivalent to Naylor for years. You can't just spout that nonsense. From '23-'25 Naylor was the FAR superior player. The fact that you don't get that is astounding. At the time they cut france his numbers were absolutely comparable to Naylors numbers at the time they ...

Re: Official MLB Trade Deadline Thread (Rumors and Ideas Welcome)

At the time they cut france his numbers were absolutely comparable to Naylors numbers at the time they signed him. The M's cut France in 2024. In the 3 seasons prior (21-23) he put up 8.0 WAR The M's signed Naylor in 2026 in the 3 seasons prior(23-25) he put up 6.8 WAR From 2023 -2025 France put up...

Re: Official MLB Trade Deadline Thread (Rumors and Ideas Welcome)

He got sporadic playing time because of the particular needs of the teams he was on at the time. He was a filler piece in Cincinnati while they were transitioning to a younger lineup. Minnesota was just a giant mess and decided to blow things up and rebuild and obviously he wasn't going to start ov...

Re: Official MLB Trade Deadline Thread (Rumors and Ideas Welcome)

Most years? He was a rookie in '19, Covid year in '20, and injured in '21. From '22-'25 he was about a 125 OPS+ hitter. I think he was alluding to Naylor's batting average, which in 2022 and 2024 where comparable to 2026. The problem is the lack of extra-base hitting. Without that he's Pete O'Brien...
