He's not actually too talented for AAA.
Used to be able to play CF at a good level but if he can’t do that anymore then he’s toast as far as ever making it back to the bigs goes
Not enough power for the corners, not enough speed to offset that

Got to get Dylan Carlson from St. Louis in that deal minimum. From LA Gavin Lux and/or Dustin May. Atlanta Ian Anderson and Christian Pache. Although I like Drew Waters better than Pache.If Betts doesn’t want to be here no matter what he’s offered his best spot if he gets the dollars are Cardinals
It’s a franchise killer if he goes to me
It’s fantasy land thinking you are going to get even 50 cents on the dollar
Betts
Devers
Bogearts
iconic home grown
I follow the prospects and especially major league rosters and I don’t see a great return
Cards would offer something like Bader and a prospect
Bottom line
Sox would be ****ed
Don’t need to read it that you actually have to have a farm system before you can leave it anywhere
I wonder how much of it is him not getting the game or losing a step and how much of it is just a guy who knows that no matter what he does he'll never play in the MLB again just half-assing it.Used to be able to play CF at a good level but if he can’t do that anymore then he’s toast as far as ever making it back to the bigs goes

Like if I knew I was getting $100 million over the next 3 or 4 years and that I was going to be stuck in Pawtucket regardless of whether I hit 70 homeruns or 7, would I really be busting ass and going full speed? I guess it depends on the bond you have with your teammates and the fans there, but I suspect it's a little of each in the end. His lack of motivation probably is causing him to lose some skills that he's not keeping sharp, and things not being easy anymore because of that loss doesn't inspire him to try any harder/

look where this pitch is and look where this ball goes. Is MLB serious w these baseballs?
Dylan Carlson + Jack Flaherty would be an interesting start to a Mookie deal
Would be tough to get more than that, Flaherty is a stud.
So the smear campaign continues? Sounds like par for the course by this ownership group. Only these guys would hire a dude who is well known to deal prospects for current MLB players to put his team over the top and win a World Series, and then complain when he does just that. It would be like hiring a drug addict to watch the pharmacy in a hospital and then getting mad when the addict steals all the drugs.
Why can't they simply say we hired DD to do a job and win a title, which he accomplished, but we now want to move in a different direction, and be done with it? Why the need to try and win the PR game after the fact? DD isn't out there ripping on the team for firing him. He took it and moved on, yet the team keeps floating these things out there through the paper their owner also owns, and it's shameful. It's the main reason why I dislike this ownership group so much, despite the crazy success.
Said every team that doesn’t make the playoffsFarm system is in decent shape tbh, much better than it was last year
Tons of talent in the lower minors with some solid breakout guys like Thaddeus Ward this year
