I've been talking to Jarrett about this trade and the basic contours of this column for a long time. He definitely did it justice, plus it's great timing with both players in the WBC

thank you!

I know this is going to go on deaf ears on this website but you're not going to win any hearts and minds of anyone who isn't completely poisoned by leftist internet spaces by going "our troops eat too well," you just sound like an asshole

I genuinely can’t remember any middle infielders doing this to this degree

Like nobody remembers this now but Witt was a catastrophically bad shortstop as a rookie and played a bunch of third base also not particularly well. There was β€œis he a first baseman or corner outfielder” discourse. He also didn’t really hit much

Special, special player, on the trajectory to be an inner circle Hall of Famer, one of the best of all time types. Just a true pleasure to watch him play

I was among the higher prospect people on Wittβ€”we ranked him 1 in a stacked class when that was controversial and that was one I pushed for hardβ€”and I was still like multiple grades low on both his defense and hit tool

He was a four seam/slider bully with your power stuff guy in college and now he’s one of the best pitcher diversification guys I’ve ever seen, it’s genuinely remarkable

it’s wild that Paul Skenes was the no. 1 pick less than three years ago and is now the best RHP on the planet and the no. 1 pick Skenes and the current Skenes bear almost no resemblance to each other as pitchers

it's so good, I cannot resist getting pretzels there even when full from actual food lmao

The people responsible for the former are racists and the people responsible for the latter are terrorists, normal people with normal politics are not involved in either action. Please log off and find grass to touch

β€œI am against both far-right provocateurs and launching IEDs in the middle of Manhattan” having to be something that you need to say out loud because both the left and right are lying about it to win internet points is the sign of a completely fucked society btw

Yes there’s slot mechanics and going wildly under with Baez as a redraft let me go wildly over for Pierce/Petry/Forbes

08.03.2026 20:06 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Petry and Forbes were available at those picks for league mechanics stuff nobody could possibly care about who isn’t in the league and probably would’ve went in the 2nd or 3rd if not for those, so I should not really get credit for those as smart picks imo

I play in one serious Scoresheet dynasty league and I post my picks every year as accountability. The draft pool is basically 2025 IRL draftees plus guys who wouldn’t have been owned out of last year’s draft in a league where ~2000 players are owned. (There were financial incentives to Baez at 6)

They started talking about the difference between the UK and Great Britain as political entities and then the broadcast had a long awkward pause

I wrote thousands of words about that and other Cristopher SΓ‘nchez and Curtis Mead fun facts (did you know they faced each other in Australian winter ball the year before the trade when they were both anonymous?) for @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

that's a good partial flip I didn't think of

This never *really* flipped. It flipped from looking horrible for awhile to nobody really winning. The Mets took on a crazy amount of money for the so-so value they got back in DΓ­az’s control years, and then re-signed DΓ­az to a contract that returned about 60 cents on the dollar

The Phillies were considered the top sabermetric example of horrible trade process for a solid three years over this deal. And it turned out they actually traded a Quad-A utility guy for the second-best left-handed pitcher in baseball, eventually.

Cristopher SΓ‘nchez for Curtis Mead is the only trade I can think of that looked like it was trending as a Fregosi-for-Ryan type deal for *years* one way and is going to end up being a Fregosi-for-Ryan deal *the other way*
