It was a 3 team trade few years ago with A's/Braves/Brewers.
Big part if it Braves getting Murphy.
Brewers getting Contreras.
A's getting
Damn, our GM is a dumbass then and now.


And of the three teams in the trade, we were the ones who took on the most salary :lol:

There are three things you are supposed to avoid when making a trade:

- Make your roster older
- Make your roster more expensive
- Make your roster worse

You can still have a good trade by ignoring the first two if it means your roster got significantly better, but AA said frick all that, give me Sean Murphy.

That's not just a bad AA trade, that's up there with the Chris Archer trade among the worst ones any team in baseball has made in the last 10-15 years.


Dude came off a World Series and turned a roster that had an MVP-caliber anchor in the middle of a young core and made sure to systemically break it apart year after year on a consistent basis.

It's why I laugh at the people wanting to get rid of Ronnie. All it means is that AA will try to replace him with a Lane Thomas or Yaz type and try to gaslight the fanbase into thinking he's a genius.

And watching Contreras go 4-4, knowing AA thought .110 hitting Murphy was a better fit just pisses me off to no end.


Never forget that LCLa said this year that AA is the best GM in baseball.

Ronald hasn't looked right all year


And still is in the top half of our starters in OPS.


This roster is straight trash.

This team is going to get bent the frick over in the playoffs.

We've scored more than 3 runs twice in our last 10 games.

Our wRC+ is only better than the A's in the last two months.
Good for Yaz to get on base and keep the inning alive, but he still go mid-contact on a hanging curveball.

Gotta park that one over the fence or at least get a good barrel EV.

I both hope Dubon remains serviceable and that we don’t consider resigning him.


I wouldn't mind keeping him on, just not as the everyday SS. He's a great utility guy to have. He just can't be getting starter-level AB's.

Now do the last month.

His OPS has plummeted.

Maybe we can trade Sean Murphy for him.

Harris and Olson are the only players currently with a chance at the plate these days.

Dubon not hustling and it cost us a leadoff double.

Been shite at the plate for the last month, you better fricking run.
Brewers are up 2-0 courtesy of us handing them William Contreras.

You are such a fraud.

One of the best pitches thrown by a Braves pitcher this season. Up and in fastball at 99mph with late run.

That's elite shite

Huh?

He hasn't been touched up yet?
Offense doing its best to keep the White Sox despite Grant pitching the game of his life.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we win that game and then the usual posters will chastise everyone else for being negative about the team, ignoring the fact that it will be our 3rd or 4th win in 10 games.
