damn manaea hurts

Manea?

Shitty trade.

Wow. Not crazy about this move.

Supportive of being aggressive to win a championship, but...****.

I'm going to trust DM on this one.

Shitty trade

Would have rather it been Almonte than Manaea, but **** it.


WE'RE GOIN' BALLS DEEP, BABY.

Dayton is all in. You cannot ask anything more than that. This is fantastic.

Zobrist won't win us a WS.

Steep price an indication of KC's feelings on Gordon's return or was that just the market for Zobrist?

I guess this just makes it even more important that we hit on at least one of Zimmer or Almonte.

Petro mentions that this also provides insurance should Gordon not be able to return.
