Is it too much to dream that Rizzo will use all these new prospects to grab a piece that could help us next year - Crochet for example?

Yes. Mini Me is probably blowing a fuse right now that last night's meltdown could mean another year of Finnegan's salary. Crochet is arb eligible next season, which is an issue for Mini Me, and he would probably fetch more than 2nd and 3rd tier former Guardian prospects, which is an issue for the White Sox.

Also, how much more does this org need to do to make everyone realize that winning is not high on its list of priorities?

Whoa. That seems like a huge overpay for Rogers.

He’s a lefty. Team love lefties.

Hearing the Nats and Cards have discussed a deal involving Carlson and Floro as
@JohnDenton555
suggested. Could happen in the coming hours. Carlson has no place in STL, but Nats view him as change-of-scenery candidate.

Not sure what Rizzo sees in him. Carlson has been awful.

Source: The Nats have not moved their asking price on Kyle Finnegan at all. Obviously, Rizzo would be just as happy to keep him per the source.

Josh Bell to the D-backs for cash considerations. Perhaps we see him this series.

If all your getting is what you expect to get next year, it does.

I think there is a big disconnect between Finengan's on field performance and what his expected stats say he should be doing.

Yea I'm not going to believe anything in a reactionary article. Scouts and FOs are looking way into Finnegan's advanced stats than one bad outing last night. That isn't moving the needle.

If you believe in the expected stats, yesterday could have been the first appearance in a series that will lead to his regression.

Yes that’s how the other teams will play it.

All-Star Kyle Finnegan is considered to be among the best relievers available, even after giving up five runs on Monday. Finnegan is under control through 2025, and one exec said the Nationals are currently “asking the moon” for the right-hander.

I used to think AJ Preller had ADHD and needed to do a big deal to prevent boredom. But would take him any day over Mumbles Rizzo.

CoryTheFormerExposFan · « **Reply #244 on:** July 30, 2024, 05:50:20 pm »

I’m sure we’ll see the news on Floro soon and I’d still be surprised if Finnegan isn’t actually moved. Rizzo is posturing for the best possible offer up until the end. He’s very experienced with this.
