Autumn Dreamin

Must be pretty rare for a 1OA to be able to watch the team compete in their draft year and reasonably expect to be teammates with many of the guys they're watching. Feels like most teams picking 1 would be in line for so much more flux in the roster/standings.

Don't disagree that their biggest deadline adds are likely to be internal, but McDougal is right there. No reason to think they'd rush a 2026 pick over guys already on the 40.

I wonder if Roch attending the Braden debut game makes it into a future episode, would be very cool.

Sox love a guy with extension who can cut a fastball

Eisert made his Pirates debut, came in with a runner on 2nd and 2 outs. Walked two to load the bases, but got a ground ball to get out of it. Gonzo is on the active roster but not starting.

Myles Bailey to Chicago, but on the wrong team.

More:

Acuna is 20 for his last 60

Arraez also has bottom tier bat speed, it isn't everything.

I'm not convinced anyone gets permanently "moved" necessarily with how much they talk about having versatility. They'll basically have strong LH/RH pairs around the IF with the ability to use the DH spot to keep guys fresh as needed.

I was hoping for this after I saw the spot Mune got was technically Buxton's rather than Kurtz. Peters has been such a fun story within a fun season.

He said he got asked a while ago, so I imagined they factored it into his recovery plans/timeline.

BA still has Roch at 1. Thome starts getting mentioned as an option as high as 21 but is still on the board at 41 in this mock. They have LA taking Bumila at 40.

After the mariachi performance tonight, I hear there might be a Roch concert before this one.

These guys simply refuse to lose 4 in a row and I love that for them. Today's win also guarantees them a winning record for the first half (and almost certainly a positive run differential as well). Very excited for Burke's second half.

The pick is around $2.9mil in slot value, gives the Sox the biggest pool in the draft again. Feels like a move best evaluated after seeing what they do with it. It's not as straightforward as trading a 15th OA for 34 if it allows them to come away with an extra high level talent this weekend.

Fun to see him ketchup to the pitch even though it had a little mustard on it

Coming into tonight, AL OFs
