Even if you removed our two longest losing streaks of the season (17 and 14), our record of 27-50 (.351) would still be the worst in the MLB as of today (next worst - Colorado at 38-69 for a .355 winning percentage)

“He’s too hurt to play and may have suffered long term damage, but he’s feeling good.” Did I get that right?

He seems like a good candidate to go to Japan or some place to rebuild his value

Very much

True, though the unexpectedly common sense moves like releasing Maldonado could also offset these trades.

Still only on pace for 118 losses.

Well, when they come to the state, city, and county for handouts and tax breaks, I would certainly hope the municipalities would have a vested interest in seeing the books.

That says something about his character, I hope

I didn't say it's easy for this organization to do. I said that's SHOULD BE the easy part.
-
The sad thing is that "today ready talent" in this case has to be a collection of marginally-better-than-replacement level players.

Getting from 120 losses to 90 losses should be the easy part.

It's a heated toilet seat.

I was going to suggest half jokingly to sign him to backfill the deadline departures
