This guy sounds clueless...
LOVE this move. Seattle's SPs are stupid good, love their development over there. I would've taken any one of them, and the costs seems light

Hi echo everyone here who agrees with me, that was a fantastic trade.

Just to get rid of him and have the White Sox pay all the money would be fantastic.

Keeping Hancock only makes sense.

It’s not over yet, Hy.

There’s rumors that the M’s would be open to moving a starter - and Kirby’s name has been floated. That would net a pretty decent position player in return. But then again, it’s just rumors….

If they trade Kirby for anything less than an Otto Lopez or Fernando Tatis type player I'm going to lose it.

No prospects. I don't want Matt Shaw type players at all.

My God read the comments to the trade article. These fuckers are dumber than M's fans on X. Unreal...

Talking about Solely a Salary dump and completely ignoring we got back a decent reliever, an excellent prospect and a guy that had a damn good season a few years ago. The Kelenic and Geno trades. Now those were salary dumps. btw is Carlos Vargas Dead or what?

Feels like have said this 57,000 times but here goes 57,001. THERE ARE NO POSITON PLAYERS AVAILABLE WORTH KIRBY. I would trade him for Mason Miller though.

Totally agree but I don't think either will be traded as I have mentioned.

Would you trade him straight up for Miller?

The Padres wouldn't trade him straight up for Miller.

And I don't really see the need for an elite bullpen arm when our offense is complete and total ass.

Brash/Munoz is as desirable of an 8th/9th battery as you can get. Ferrer, Bazardo, Spier, Dominguez is pretty good otherwise.

The M's are 4th in baseball in bullpen ERA.
