Already did that in the offseason. He could reject, and likely would.

Why not? Doyle can’t hit against a pitcher throwing with their left arm, right arm, left foot, right foot, etc.

As a package, the Sox did what they had to do. They upgraded the 25, and didn't give up any of the vital pieces going forward. I will definitely quibble with the amount of returns, but they did improve for 26.

Worst case of blue balls I’ve had in awhile.

What I don't understand is you give up on a guy who maybe be something, for a clone of a guy you already have

We wasted our best pitching prospect on a 28 year old CF that can’t hit a lick.

I don't get the Angels not trading Detmers. I'm not one to value prospects over real producing major leaguers, but that whole organization needs to be blown up and having Detmers still there is pointless for them. Maybe they think they can get more in the offseason? The Reds are also a head scratcher. They have no chance in the NL Central. Maybe a shot at a wild card, but they're so flawed they're not going anywhere in the postseason.

The Guardians gave up table scraps for the dogs.

Pretty awful day after the good reliever deal last night. Really puzzling outfield decision.

Playing any team in the playoffs is a problem I'm willing to deal with this year.

I’m spent. I need a cigarette

Dont like seeing more good lefties in the division. We have had a problem with them... also why I am scared if we end up playing Boston in the playoffs.

That was exhausting. See you guys tomorrow for the Red Sox game.

Peters can't play against lefties. And the Sox are fine in the bullpen, especially with the Brazoban trade. They can bring up Macdougal if they want.

Agreed. Spending a ton of capital for relievers doesn't sit well for me. Let other teams do it.

To some extent, it's like when you're losing but you get the opposing team to burn their closer. If the Guardians come back and take the division, too bad. But that's what they were always supposed to do. At least we make them sweat and spend a little capital on the way there. But by the way, we're in the lead right now.

Ok now this I do not get.

Best part about a lot of rentals moving? Less guys that can receive a QO. Jump the market early in the offseason and sign an arm or two.

The Castillo trade was mediocre and the Brazoban trade was really good. But I was referring specifically to the Doyle trade and the Pereira DFA. Peters has proven he can play CF and even with his slump, he isn’t anywhere near as horrible with the bat as Doyle is. His career splits away from Coors are embarrassingly bad (.573 OPS). Also, Mason Adams could have helped the bullpen this season.

Boooooo

I at least have to find solace in a belief that Getz drove up the price here on the Indians and forced them to give up more than they wanted. Still think we could have offered a quality over quantity deal that the Nats would have taken… and I would have slotted Forest right at the top with Burke. Really would have felt like walking on sunshine if we had Burke / Griffin / Martin / Kay / Castillo / Schultz as our starting rotation options. Maybe what the Sox have been seeing out of Noah lead them to believe that he is starting to become trustworthy as that number 2 type guy. And maybe they also plan to move Hagen Smith / McDougal up to further strengthen the pen.

Be interesting to see what the offseason even looks like before the lockout

You mean 2028

Ha for some time in June when the lockout is over

Surprised the Royals who had solid pitchers they could trade did little to nothing. They aren't going anywhere, next season isn't a given and they hung on to them.
