Yeah, the past 1-2 weeks (and then some) have basically forced me to take a few steps back and realize that we're not a Juan Soto acquisition away from being legitimate contenders. We still have a lot of work to do. I'd much rather sell for future capital (in whatever form that may be) as opposed to buy for potential success, and risk lingering damage because of some stupid contracts that we're still responsible for 5 years down the line.
Marte is an amazing prospect. Castillo has an extra year of team control, but I think Rodon could get a package very similar if not better. He could be the legit difference maker for a contender.
Hate to say it, but glad we're losing tonight. Will be 4 back of the 3rd wild-card spot and the team just needs to accept it's not going to happen this season. I do think we're underperforming our talent level, but just the level of injuries/regression we've had aren't going to let it happen. I'd flip Wilmer too; he should be able to net a reasonable prospect and is headed for FA as well.
I'd keep Joc because I think you can get him back on a somewhat reasonable contract in the $10-$13mil/season range. Rodon I think is going to want $25mil+ on a long-term deal.

Dude, while the Dodgers do whatever they want and the Padres brazenly throw poop at the wall and hope it sticks, the Giants next AAAA level player they scrape off the trash pile is sure to be the missing piece of the whole puzzle!
BUY EVERYONE! (But not the actual stars because they’re too expensive)

Farhan needs to do something...Heck, even if it means trading the farm to KingsFans.com for @SLAB and @QWERTYLICIOUS...
Just. Do. It. Farhan.
@SLAB, I hope you can either pitch or hit. Heck, if you can do both - BONUS POINTS FOR YOU!!!

The A's just traded a player to the Yankees and I don't even care. This may be a new all-time low for me with this team. Also... how are the Angels still this bad with Trout, Ohtani, and a top 10 payroll? Doesn't it seem like they'd stand a decent chance of improving by just hiring a random person off the street to run their front office?
