JP will finish out his contract with the M’s and enter free agency as planned. Jerry has a huge man crush on him and will never move him or trade him. But I also think he won’t re-sign him in free agency next year - he will look to backfill from within. JP is fine, but he’s the baseball equivalent o...

I think offensively? We have some work to do to be better than what we had to finish last season. But we are light years better then what we had to start last season. The Pitching staff could be the difference. If Woo continues on the path he was on? If Miller is bouncing back the way we hear? If G...

Indeed. I think the Donovan trade was a steal - one of Jerry's better deals. I was worried that we wou...

Happy to see Williamson gone. It was a small sample size, but he didn't look like he was adjusting to MLB pitching. Let's hope Donovan's body holds out - it looks like he's been injury-prone.

So that makes it official. The top 10 FAs signed with 10 different teams and Naylor signed with us. Weird because I am told only 2-3 teams dominate the FA market and that is destroying baseball.

Yes. You're right, D-Train.

You're always right.
