@RickyBlitt We mostly knew pitching was a problem. They are stocking up more options to throw at the wall going into next year.
Also the Lerners are still a potential factor. Next offseason was always the target to see if times have actually changed. And the work stoppage doesn’t help.
Fans had ZERO reason to believe this team would be sniffing .500 in August and another ZERO reason to believe this team, knowing what it was, could compete for anything this year.
Yikes is to anyone trying to blame Toboni 🤦♂️
@RickyBlitt Mostly valid and part of GMing since he won’t hit .1000
But again, this team was supposed to be bad. The offense is a fun story and seemingly indicative that the new system can develop bats.
Value won’t be known on most trades for a bit anyway. And again, it’s year 1
The Wizards are the favorites to land Russell Westbrook as they seek veterans, per Polymarket.
Wizards — 49%
Blazers — 45%
Heat — 38%
Kings — 27%
82-0 legend.
People can’t complain about the awful pitching and then complain when we make moves to fix the awful pitching. You have to give to get, and Garcia’s breakout has been a great story, but he’s a platoon bat with a year and a half of control left, and we have a replacement ready to go in Abimelec Ortiz. It’s a trade I make every single time, and other smart teams would do the same
The four right-handed pitchers the Yankees are sending to the Nationals in the Luis García Jr. deal: relievers Ben Grable, Yovanny Cruz and Jake Bird, plus starter Jack Cebert. First on the García news: @Joelsherman1.
Worst offensive series of the year.
Paul Toboni is trading Luis Garcia Jr to go along with Curtis Mead too.
It’s clear he does not care at all about 2026.

Training camp clips are great because you see a play that’s a great throw and catch…
but there’s always that group of fans that immediately have to say in some way “our secondary is trash!” 😭 #RaiseHail
