Really? Wow. I already thought pitchers were going to be outrageously expensive but even I’m surprised by that.

You need to start posting only legit insiders, like Bartolo’s bungholio.

This seems like a good idea. Honestly, I would probably dump Hays because you know he’s just going to get injured again.

We’ll see. Many teams in contention need starting pitching.

Adding two legit starters would be pricey.

Definitely would rather have Detmers over Holmes due to age and years of control, but it all comes down to the cost. I do think Urquidy is the second starter already, and they try to obtain a catcher.

Someone find Getz and do this to his phone…

Noah Schultz is working on his slider, and embracing chal...Noah Schultz has a 6.04 ERA heading into tonight’s game against Max Fried and the Yankees, which will take place exactly a week ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, as the first place White Sox hunt st

Swing hard, Pereira. 🤣

Beavis avoided yet again!

They are going to be .500 soon enough. Close enough to hang in this awful division but not good enough to play with the legit teams.

Jeebus, Jism…

Absolutely painful.

I’m sure it is. The Giants DFA’ed him on July 17th and released him on July 25th. No team claimed him.

A team other than one owned by Jerry Reinsdorf. Ray is owed like $12 million for the reminder of this season. That’s a big chunk of change, like 13% of the Sox currently payroll.

You win the contest.

I don’t think Robbie Ray happens because a team other than the White Sox will be willing to take on more of his remaining contract.

One less year than Early.

Obviously just bad luck by Boston but what a masterful trade by the Nasty Nats. They turned Boston Smith into 6 years of a mid-rotation starter.

I realize it’s not the exact same scenario but the Red Sox just traded their #3 prospect (#56 in top 100 per MLB Pipeline) for Curtis Mead. Early is just coming out of prospect status (turned 24 in April) and has already had “early” success in the majors, which one would think would make him more valuable. I’m not sure it’s safe to assume what the prices will be for starting pitchers.

And this is still a team that isn’t going to spend in free agency, at least until the new owner takes over, which still may not be for a few more years. They can’t afford to trade away their top talent considering they don’t spend much in free agency. What are they at right now? A $90 million dollar payroll?

The Cubs desperately need starting pitching and were still willing to dump Taillon and eat the remainder of his $18 million dollars for this season. He will definitely clear waivers so if he is willing to sign a minor league deal and see if he can figure it out at Charlotte, that’s fine. Otherwise, he’s been one of the worst starters in baseball this year.

Seems that way.

Sure, but I think even the decent starter names being bandied about will cost them a Carlson.
