Some personal news: Yesterday morning I learned that my position was included in MLB’s latest round of layoffs. I’m shocked, sad -- but also incredibly thankful for what the company has done for my family and me in the past 5 1/2 years. (1/3)

It lacks stars, but TEX has the deepest system in the sport. This deal has a top 100 guy (Duran), a second division MIF piece not far off the 100 (Smith), an upside lotto ticket (Pereira), two high-probability role-player types (Hauver, Otto), and a spin rate freak (Vasquez). 👍
In our live farm system rankings, the Yankees' system moved from 4th to 11th, while Texas moved from 19th to 15th.

No. Boras is a positive, important part of the labor ecosystem because he drives money to employees instead of the pockets of billionaire owners. And he can use his platform to hold owners accountable for being cheap. He's just can't turn a phrase the way he thinks he can.

Padres second rounder Josh Mears is the first Holy Shit pick of the evening. Was uncommitted when Area Codes began, then had huge week. Big frame, power, mobile for his size. We have a 35+ FV on him, he's indeed a solid prospect. I'm asking scouts if we were light.

Daniel Johnson: 80 arm, 70 run, 60 raw power, doesn't square balls up consistently, but the bat is better now than it was a year ago. Instincts in CF cause the speed to play down a bit. Generally considered a 4th OF, but has everyday physical tools.

Stuff: Mostly 93-95, fastball utility exclusively @ the letters, though 1 pitch to C. Jensen had nasty arm-side action. Changeup location consistency & slider quality were best I've seen in my three '21 Gore looks. Gonna be inefficient, but imo could get 12-15 MLB outs right now.

New Mets prospects:
Will Toffey a probable bench bat. 5 bat with good feel the strike zone, fine at 3B, lack of power caps ceiling.
