Yeah just posted a thread on this.. what say everyone? Im super torn
Im guessing in the end "Owners" didnt want to pay that kinda money im guessing? we have more prospects plus Marco now.. do we send him Frazier (doesnt seem likely as hes new deal) and others to Nationals for SotI thought that would get us Soto almost.. that was a haul.
Yep. Steep price but quality arm. Would have preferred not giving up both Marte AND Arroyo.3 of our top 5 prospects......
Would you now do.. Gonz... Haniger prospect plus Cash for Soto?Yep. Steep price but quality arm. Would have preferred not giving up both Marte AND Arroyo.
See I felt that way too mayb ethey missed on soto cuz of this but???? now we have an extra rotation guy... plus haniger.. plus.... ya know? (Haniger same position)Yeah, it seems like a bit of an overpay especially when you consider he's a free agent after next season too... Soto would have been a better investment in my opinion even if you had to include Kirby, but hey I'm not the GM. Hopefully it works out for the team and they get past just making it as a wild card. I have my doubts though without adding offense, you still have to score runs to win games...
Better pray Kelenic can find it at the major league level.
Marco, Haniger, prospect, + cash for Soto? Would Washington do that though?Would you now do.. Gonz... Haniger prospect plus Cash for Soto?
Castillo would be easier to extend before he hits FA.Yeah, it seems like a bit of an overpay especially when you consider he's a free agent after next season too...

Haniger is a negative dwar defender and yet another right handed bat which is the opposite of what they really need. They need a left handed bat with power. That's why Soto was a really good fit for this lineup.See I felt that way too mayb ethey missed on soto cuz of this but???? now we have an extra rotation guy... plus haniger.. plus.... ya know?

I doubt either one is going to be easy to extend, and I think both will hit free agency, but I get that people hate Boras (I do too).Castillo would be easier to extend before he hits FA.
Soto will not extend before FA.
Castillo will be easier to resign because his buddies are here (Geno and Winker), and if they start making the playoffs the better the odds.I doubt either one is going to be easy to extend, and I think both will hit free agency, but I get that people hate Boras (I do too).
I'm not concerned though with signing anyone long term once the team starts winning. They have one of the largest areas of draw of any team in MLB, and when they win they bring in as much revenue as pretty much anyone else. There's no reason they can't outbid LA or the Yankees if they get the team relevant again by winning and by having a couple of super star players...
Desperately! Should be interesting...Its a win. A huge win. Now if he falls off a cliff then ok. However Prospects fall off more so then proven all stars. This is the window opening for the Ms.
I think Kirby, Brash, etc will get flipped for a big bat. The Ms need a big bat.
