I heard on a podcast the other day that Basallo was a likely trade piece…..and I’m thinking…..”the same Basallo they signed to an 8 year extension like 3 months ago?”

I genuinely never understand the hate…..he’s an agent…..his job is to get players paid…..he does it better than anyone….. the winter meeting puns are just the cherry on top to me haha

Surely the diamondbacks are in first place and didn’t sell at the deadline either.

“Take an axe”? He traded role players for 16 players and didn’t trade a single member of the core……
August 1, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Did not trade a single core member of the team, Mullins/O’Hearn’s replacements already in organization and MLB ready.
August 1, 2025 at 9:52 AM
I mean, not really……O’Hearn had been DFA’d by the royals, Urias was picked up off waivers, Laureano and Morton were on 1 year low $ deals…. Literally when all these guys were signed, Elias was accused of going “dumpster diving” and cheaping out…..
August 1, 2025 at 9:16 AM
Idk, I completely disagree with Craig…. Elias traded a bunch of guys that were scrap heap pickups for 16 players, and opened up a bunch of spots for Beavers, Basallo, etc…..
August 1, 2025 at 1:03 AM
They sold a bunch of guys they originally picked up off the scrap heap, or guys whose best years were way behind them, did not trade a single piece of the core, who have all dealt with injuries, they will be right back in it next year.

I still think that hurts in the long run…… all that would do is create fodder for the FoxNews/Outkick/TPUSA/Daily Wire’s of the world……he immediately becomes a martyr, a superstar that had his dream taken because of his faith, he would be the next Riley Gaines in a heartbeat.

While I find his mindset to be extremely narrow sighted, I’d rather him be drafted for talent, then educated later….. having him fall out of the first round only increases his Christian victimhood complex.

Would have led the game off with a homer last night….might not have helped in the end but who knows 🤷‍♂️
June 13, 2025 at 4:26 PM
Meh, I disagree about “this roster”….. injuries man…..they have the fourth outfielder/defensive replacement hitting cleanup now because of the injuries…..Cowser and westburg batting down in the order would give this team such a better look, but what can ya do 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Everyone I say this to on Twitter calls me an Elias burner….but it’s true…..there wasn’t nearly enough pitching available to fix this, and frankly, Gibson and Morton were 2 of the best options available….
May 21, 2025 at 12:15 AM
The thing I can’t figure out is why they have 2 different hitting styles….why do they have great ABs to get people on, then look like they’ve never played baseball in their lives with RISP….
May 8, 2025 at 11:18 PM
Yes, it is Hyde that injured the entire starting rotation, the starting left fielder, starting right fielder, starting 3rd baseman, backup catcher etc.
May 8, 2025 at 9:23 PM
Front offices are way too full of themselves….thinking they can fix a guy that had a nice stretch at some point but generally hasn’t been all that good….. Jorge’s April of 2023 was great, but maybe THAT was the outlier, not the other 6 years of his career…..
April 30, 2025 at 12:53 AM
I just hate that we are in the position we are in with starters….. I’m gonna cut Elias some slack on the money spent front, because frankly, I think this years FA class was very lackluster, but the team hasn’t really developed any starters yet either….
April 30, 2025 at 12:45 AM
The annoying thing is, except for Cowser in left, this is my ideal defensive lineup for this team, but they look lost out there 😂😂😂
April 5, 2025 at 1:09 AM
It’s honestly kinda confusing, cuz his fastball is still like 94-96 and obviously his curveball is disgusting, but his command has been iffy…..

I wanna try it, I already had vm95e and frankly for $60 I think it’s a steal….maybe when it wears down I’ll get the ML
February 5, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Is that the ML stylus? How do you like it?
