As with any offseason, we are waiting for the tipping point ... which may come late this year, but it will come.

Free agents and front offices are in staredowns, knowing that numerous options remain on each side. As signings slowly come in, the market shrinks for both sides. The tipping point comes when the market shrinks to a point that the free agents and front offices worry about being left out. Then comes the flurry of signings.

Or not.

Be patient.

Marte is Julio's guest in this episode of Vibin with Julio. Mostly goofy banter but love who Marte said was the toughest pitcher he had to face in camp.

If patience was the only virtue, I would be virtueless..... :)

Came across this. Maybe Jerry's just waiting for Walker to fall to us also.

Matre is on my do not trade list. He is the next top 20 prospect. Interested to see how he does defensively this year.
The poster formerly known as Kingfelixk. With a new forum comes a new boardname. Julio is my guy, plus we share a birthday, so that's Culiooooo

I would be most impressed with his agent if Dee Gordon gets any more this offseason than everybody here on the forum got from dtrain-

An invite to spring training.

🤣

Well, to be fair, I’d be hard pressed to think of a place I could travel to to get overnight board and drink, all for free. So there’s that, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge it.

Maybe that’s the forum equivalent to a MLB ‘invite to Spring Training’... :ugeek: 8-)

Joakim Soria may (but probably won't) fall to us
