Indians Reddit is very meh on this. They feel like Cesar's defense has been a let down this year, but his being the 5th best clutch HR hitter has them bummed that they traded him to us specifically. and everyone is underwhelmed with Konnor because he needs to be rule5 protected next year, and they don't want that. So at least we made their fanbase even more miserable than their awful existence already.

My only worry about this move is that Leury is going to get a LOT of RF starts. We need Robert back fast, so we can get Vaughn-Robert-Engel/sheets

this is one of those days that I don't even want to watch...but they will probably score 8+ runs and totally crap on the "stars" of this team in a laugher.

This is fine. but not worth any eyeballs anywhere. Hopefully his BABIP sees an improvement and he can get some protection somewhere in the lineup, but this doesn't move the needle at all, it is a move for moves sake to say...see we are serious!

In fact 11 of the 12 Nationals players/staff were indeed vaccinated.

interesting thought. this team does seem to have been very proactive on the vaccine front, where the Cubs are one of the worst. I still to this day...do not understand how any athlete has not gotten a simple shot that will potentially protect their millions in earning potential.

Escobar has slashed .247/.324/.525 with 7 Hrs with 21 Rbis and 10BB/21Ks in 101 ABs since his "injury". If that is alarming from a health sense...how are they okay with any of their injured players returning ahead of schedule?

Burr sucks. good lord. knew this was coming. have a good night fellas.

and here. we. go.

I swear Stoney needs to stfu about Hendriks sometimes. like 4 games he talks about how they are worth the money...and then he gives up a homer.

that inning was fine. and now they will justify no RH setup trade and not stretch out MK. fun.

Hell of an inning by Bummer. He really has been much better the last month. his swing and miss is going UP!

Not yet...but Semien is a FA and they can resign him...they are 10.5 back in division and 4.5 back in WC with Tampa Bay and Athletics near certain locks with the moves they made and Yankees and Mariners both ahead of them and making moves. Just not their year...they could get a nice piece from the sox and plan on 2022. it would take some aggression by Hahn though, so probably not happening.

I agree 100%. I actually still want Semien as first option and wanted Escobar 2nd. So if Semien can't happen...i think Story could be the meh consolation, with incredible upside potential. I will still take it over Mendick/Leury.

One simple reason: When he get's hot...he can carry a team in a big way. Catch lightning in a bottle in October and he has the star power to pull that off. I don't love the move, but I can see the thinking by Hahn, especially if they had Escobar health concerns.

"He's not a happy little Bubic" Stoney on fire as usual.

My wife asked who he was a couple weeks ago...so confirmed from the ladies also.

He is good looking and according to some posters..."fucks"

I like this version of Gio better even losing the no hitter. Guess Seby is his personal catcher now?

I noticed that. At first i thought ump called him safe also.

That was oddly satisfying.

Boring game so far...but im so busy seeing how every competitor has gotten better this week to care about the game...

they are really doing it...they are gonna do the Eloy, Robert & Grandal additions line...

Eloy at DH. interesting. Leury in RF and Mendick at 2B shows how badly RH better be on the phone right now. that bottom 7-9 is gross.

i am not opposed to giving him some time out there, but DH just makes so much more sense come playoff time and getting engel/sheets platoon out there.
