New Orleans is already projected to be $30 million over that 225 cap...

Well if you have a boring opinion you're not going to have a column.

It's not I've worked in big and small and have never heard seen or told someoen to give an opinion for clicks. They should do that on their own.

All. The. Time

I have worked at a lot of news organizations and nobody has ever been told to form an opinion to get clicks. In 99 percent of cases its a lack of research/laziness. Thats what it looks like here.

I don't think they Meadows has regressed a ton. He was still a 2.0 WAR player last year. But they have two OF and a hot prospect ready. Not to mention Meadows was starting to cost money. It makes sense for them, he didn't fit. They get a younger player a top 75 pick and salary relief.

Need 10 years to be fully vetted, and played after 1970. Need 34 games today to get the minimum

Cap issues too are coming due. They have to get younger and cheaper now

Where is Meadows?!!!!!!!!! LAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know i was mainly just following up with your point of not remembering that there ahve been lots of trades with picks and some with some very high profile names.

For a team like tampa is probably both. Parades still has upside and five years of control. But they also get to add a top 75 draft talent and the money that comes with it.

I don't think anyone is arguing any of that. But look at the threads there's a bunch of "I dunno about giving up parades, why did they want him. They always massively win trades." Fact is they don't.

I know are a lot are concerned cause tampa rays history of trading. But some of that is myth They didn't get much for Corey Dickerson, Evan Longoria and the like.

Meh Norris sucks butt and he got a mid tier prospect. Hitters are always in demand.

When green comes back he can play cf a bit or give a day off. And you can always move Grossman at the deadline, to recoup Isaac and let meadows and Greene play the corners

Cause's he short?

Bonderman has been working on a changeup in the offseason

[Crappy white ball player] is really gritty

They'll just sign Luke Scott for 2 games.

That almost never works out better for the team trading down

Hate to break it to you. Teams rebuild. It will happen again.

Like usual its all or nothing for you and spending guarentees you a good team. And fans before .500 ball in 2018 and .500 ball in 2024. Instead of .300 ball in 2018 and WS in 2024. None of those are true
