I would guess Fauske is the most likely "big name" trade bait when Getz is shopping for a deadline upgrade. He's got some helium from his solid season but he's years away from contributing to the major league team and he does not have the ceiling of Carlson.

There was so much bad juju around that time here. Was Liam probably sick and didn't have the diagnosis yet? I was sitting on a beach in N. MI when that trade went down, I remember posting here I believe that it was a wild ass swing but I was ready to move on from Madrigal, turned out nobody really won that one.

Tampa and New York record wise. Would probably put Boston better than them at this point as well.

🤔 Who is better?

Wrong.

I will always remember Hendriks saying he could be the any inning guy, knowing that Kimbrel needed the closer routine. Then TLR promptly not doing that.

I reckon we all get dumb clickbait articles shown to us on our cellphone lock screens, but I had to click the one about 'Blue Jays cut ties with catcher' thinking they DFA'd Valenzuela for some reason and we could pick him. Turns out they were talking about Adam Hackenberg. Thought he had a pretty nice 2023 at Charlotte then he just disappeared off the face of the Earth.

This! We are the second best team In the AL.

It’s weird you don’t think we’re a “real contender” when we have the third best run differential in the AL and literally one less than the 2nd best team. Even if we want to go the cheaper route, we need to strive better than a guy with a 5+ FIP and whose velocity continues to trend down. I’d just give Mason Adams a look if that’s the best we can do.

Most variable position in the sport and one dependent on the two other legs of a good team (SP and offense) is not one you really want to go all in on usually.

To each their own…but completely disagree. I’d be more worried about just stabilizing the staff and not throwing out a SP that hurts the team every 5th day. I’ve got bad news for you if you think this team is acquiring someone that makes them a real contender. I think it’s important to reinforce the team enough to get to the playoffs to get the kids some experience, but making a big move to try and rush the WS window would be pretty dumb imo.

Remember when we were saying that about Kimbrel and Hendriks?

I don’t think Singer is good enough for what we need.

Stephenson and Singer makes a ton of sense from Cinci. Should be able to fill 2 holes without giving up a top prospect. Maybe something like Adams, Mogollon/Bergolla and Lacombe/Larson? And then just get a cheap serviceable rental RP

Friday night all access tonight! Which means my remote will be right next to my beer so I have all access to my mute button! Let's go!

Yea I watch / listen to all the podcasts. When I saw your reply I had just woke up, hardly slept, and hadn’t had any coffee. So my ability to read was suppressed.

After all, what would spectator sports be without entertainment?

Can we swap Smith for McDougal? Would do that in a heartbeat. And then add some + for Michael King.

Wish we matched up with Seattle. I think an Emerson Hancock add would be perfect.

I am on the Clay Holmes train. He can start or relieve and has 1 year of control. The only question is if his broken leg is ok. He just pitched a game down in the minors on rehab so we will see how it goes.

Oh man, the posts flipping back to how great Robert is would be totally worth it.

First inning, Robert, Hays, and Pereira all collide on a fly ball to center and are on the 60-day IL.

good stuff

I like creative writing what can I say ? Keeps my old mind sharp. It wasn't exactly War and Peace. 2 minute read at most. Internet is weird like why is communication limited to a few sentences? Are we admitting we all have ADHD ? Ever listen to Sox Machine Podcast ? Fegan and Margalis drone on forever answering one question from Josh Nelson.
