Only real choices for MVP are Cease and Abreu. I give the nod to Cease because Abreu was just so bad the first six weeks.

Seems like it would be easier to trade surplus pitching to fill a specific positional need rather than the opposite.

Perfect. An asshole going to a team I already hate works out well.

Is that the guy who got tossed from a super regional game for arguing balls/strikes?

It's too bad ND doesn't have anybody projected to go high in the draft because Tennessee's coach deserves having to talk about an ND player.

Was that replay review to ensure Miranda's rights?

This. No way I give up anything valuable for someone who's a FA at the end of the season. No way it should take Montgomery to get Happ.

I think they carry 3 catchers for a few weeks to see if Grandal can handle catching regularly, but if he can, then McGuire is gone by the trade deadline.

McGuire batting for TA. Obvious move is McGuire to C, Zavala to 1B, Vaughn to LF, Leury to SS.

Why does a ceremony for a former player need to last 50 minutes?

He could test free agency, get a 6 year $210 million deal and then be a free agent again at age 30, then get an 8 year $400 million deal. He could also get a rash of injuries and not get any of it. It's a matter of how much risk he's willing to take.

Can I protest that today's game was advertised as 1:10 but isn't starting until 2:00?

Rain delay? Everything I'm seeing says 1:10.

Fair offer or not you can't give up Kopech if you're trying to win in the next two years.

Cease-Giolito-Cueto-Kopech in the rotation and Hendriks-Graveman-Lopez-Bummer-Kelly in the bullpen is a pitching staff that can win in the postseason if the position players can stay healthy and start hitting and/or they get a big bat in a trade.

I just can't comprehend turning down $440 million. It just doesn't compute.

Cueto A+ Graveman B+ Collins/McGuire trade B Harrison B- Kimbrel/Pollock trade C Velasquez C Kelly D+ Leury F no QO to Rodon F- - -

Tim Anderson

Oops

Kershaw perfect game through 7 vs Angels.

So I haven't been watching tonight and just got a notification that Engel hit a homer. Did Robert get hurt?

Andrew Vaughn

It's Friday and it's raining and that sounds like something worth protesting.

I'd like to get traded to San Diego for a Padres fan to be named later.
