I tried to find them - They've been deleted. You can believe what you want but these guys have PR teams now scrubbing anything detrimental to them.

Look at Kourtney Kardashian when that unedited photo leaked a month or two ago, she almost nuked America over it.

It's not the Rays way, but I hope they trade for another starting pitcher to round out their rotation, especially if Glasnow isn't available for the postseason. Maybe another bat, but I think they are hoping that Franco, Bruján, and Lowe (coming out of a long slump) carries the offense.

As long as the Red Sox don't win

There should be some decent ones available, , Marquez Berros and a little older but Gibson is having a great year for Texas.

I'd be curious to know how Botterill feels as AGM of the Kraken. If they have a chance to get either Reinhart or Eichel in a package for #2 he would know what they're getting into

He didn’t even want to sign Eichel in the first place

I bet he wouldn't have given him the 1 year deal and we wouldn't be in this situation (pun intended).

I think he probably would have. Or maybe a 2-3 year deal. He gave McCabe a 2 year deal that walked him straight to FA

The players? Not exactly. But Botterill showed no willingness to commit to Reinhart during his tenure. I don't think he would have changed course last offseason.

I do, and I still think the 2 year bridge was the right call.

I guess we'll never know.

I think its fair to say the Sabres should have given Reinhart a max deal coming off his ELC a la an RNH deal @ 8x$6. He botched it, and then Adams botched it when they thought Hall was going to replace him. It's been a comedy of errors.

The organization never appreciated what they had in him

If he signs him last summer, no one's even talking about this.

Realistically, he'd be asking for a trade along with Jack right now anyways.

I think at least part of Reinhart's frustration is that the Sabres never committed to him.

Suddenly Donnie Meatballs comes along and realizes this guy is a good leader and a solid top-6 center.

Reinhart is almost certainly thinking "yeah, you probably should have figured that out 5 years ago, goobers. I'm out."
