#10: Seattle Mariners. It seems like nobody wants to win the AL West, and the Mariners are one of those "Nobodies". #9: Texas Rangers. The Rangers are the other "Nobody" team in the Wild West Race. They currently sit on top of that heap with an even .500 record. #8: Chicago Cubs. They still sit in the top Wild Card in the National League. The bats and gloves are good enough to win some postseason games, but who will pitch? #7: Chicago White Sox. This season has been a ton of fun on the South Side. Will they make a move to keep it going? Imagine Tarik Skubal on this team. Now wake up, that's not happening. yahoo.com/sports

MLB Trade RumorsBrewers Designate Lance McCullers Jr. For AssignmentMcCullers was acquired from the Astros in a trade on July 15. MLBTR breaks down his recent performance and potential future.He has been atrocious this year and his Baseball Savant page backs that up, but he does have an xERA of 4.57 and can still strike people out. Worth a shot as a long man maybe?

Can Fedde make it through the Astros line-up twice? Can he avoid game changing home runs with men on base? Can the White Sox survive the potential curse of three consecutive 666th innings? I fear the bitches broom is lurking in the 'Stros dugout while the wand has lost its magic.

Potato, Potahto.

Mine/Vargas Both catchers are an automatic out at this point and with it being a day game after night game this was expected

Looks like you’ll need a pinch hit homer from Colson. Although, if you nail 3 out of 4, I’m counting that as a successful prediction.

Wow!

The other catcher also sucks.

Romo in lineup again. I don’t get it.

An identical thread was posted 2 weeks ago after getting swept by the Red Sox. (on their way to a historic 15 game winning streak) Since then the Sox are 7-4 (.636). 4-4 since the break, despite a serious slump in power from a team that was hovering near the top of the league in HR's. As was pointed out, the Sox are the only team yet to lose more than 3 in a row. People need to stop getting their panties in a bunch for 2 or 3 L's.

Would love to see a decisive win today. Sounds like it's gonna be a hot one! Got to see Friday night's game in person. Although I can sure do without that traffic, it was really fun to experience the roar of the crowd in person (when good things happened)! A number of my family members were also there to support my great-nephew Sam. He managed a nice single, a stolen base, a hit-by-pitch, and a gapper double. It was unfortunate that the Astros managed to post an 8-spot in the 6th, but you'll have that. I commented on the nice crowd size, and the powerful roar it was capable of producing, and my son (who arranged our outing) recalled being at Sam's debut game back in mid-April, describing the crowd that day as so small that it was "like being at a high school game." So fun to see things trend in a good direction! Grateful for this brand new day! GO SOX!!!

I wonder if Getz could work a trade for Hunter Goodman from the Rockies. That would be a game changer.

People continue ignoring this and simply overreact to streaks. The offense is going through a power outage, once that changes so will the optimism around this team. Personally, I have been very happy with the pitching as of late. The bullpen is really coming together and Martin looks like a solid #3 SP even if his ace like run in the 1H was unstainable. This team is legit and is a few moves away from being serious contenders. We need to buy buy buy.

I assume it’s including recent draftees. The back end of our top 10 excluding them should all be in play for upgrades.

We were 4th place in baseball in HRs prior to the All Star game with 129. We are dead last since the All Star with just two HRs. That trend ends today and we are officially moving out of the cellar. I am predicting a whopping four bombs for us. Murakami, the Montgomery brothers, & Benintendi. Those four guys are all going deep today…book it. If I’m wrong, @ron883 has agreed to a self ban that will stay in place until this exact outcome is achieved. We thank you for your courage and potential sacrifice.

Assuming the Top 10 doesn't include the draft guys, it's one thing to not trade Bonemer or Carlson, it's another to hold onto Lodise or Mogollon.

The trades will likely be in the works or done before the Yankees and Rays series is complete. For people who still aren't believers, we are the only team in baseball to avoid a four game losing streak. That suggests longevity.

Alejandro Kirk is owed 12.3M the next 4 years, would Toronto or the Sox be interested ?

Was looking at past trades and looked up Truman Pauley. Wow that guy is wild. Makes hagen Smith look like he has command. 76 innings 66 hits and 88 Ks, but 55 walks. If they could ever fix him he seems to have good stuff. Just can't find the plate. 6.5 walks per 9 innings. Been starting all year and it's 1-9 at Kanny.

He gone and Teel could possibly be back, crazy

Good opening stance. And glad to see we are flashing our financial strength, which should give us an advantage. There will be teams who will struggle to take on payroll and others who will need to navigate luxury tax concerns.

Well that's lame.

For rentals, that is 100% the right stance.
