I'm going to assume today is the day that forces the Tigers to sell on Price. Hopefully the Dodgers get him.

And now supposedly the Indians are listening in on their starting pitchers Follow Jeff PassanVerified account ‏@JeffPassan Sources: Cleveland has been willing to listen on pitching, particularly Carlos Carrasco. May be a match there with Toronto. They've talked.

Maybe Hahn and company wanted prospects that are closer to being MLB ready to fit the window they believe they have? The catcher from the Astros is still a few years away.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 06:17 PM) Confirms that I have 0.0% confidence that Hahn will swing a good deal. or that teams really won't give up much for a rental

Real nice trade for Astros, as they got a good starter without giving up any of their top 10 guys. Kazmir's numbers are surprisingly great this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 05:15 PM) Questions: Does that 100% cover Houstons pitching needs or do they have more? How is that return? Anyone know anything? Keuchel Kazmir McCullers McHugh Feldman

Tigers need to get pitching prospects back in a Price trade, and getting back Edwards, who profiles as a reliever, doesn't seem to fit their needs.

Really hope they don't get Price. Not a fan of him to start with, and if he goes to the Cubs...yuck http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/07/22/lev...ut-david-price/

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 04:14 AM) 1-6 since the break? 1-5, deja vu to start of the season

Amazing that all the coaches have kept their jobs this year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:10 AM) How is Schuck not a better option at DH than LR at this point? I mean isn't it obvious this guy is struggling? Screw it, let Micah Johnson DH. He'd bring much more to the table offensively than LaRoche right now. Would also get him some much needed experience while also allowing him to get some time in the field.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:09 AM) How in God's name did Yadier Molina get a triple at USCF? Avisail didn't contribute to it at all? Well, that's five blown saves. Waiting for comparisons to Addison Reed with that stat... Just perfectly placed down the RF line. Nothing Avi could have done.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:05 AM) I wonder if he's had this batting stance his whole career. It seems a really ridiculous approach to hitting the baseball. With the defense putting all their defenders on the side of the field he hits the baseball, he's not going to get many hits besides ones over the fence. Yep, same stance. He's always been someone that looks awful when he strikes out due to his stance/follow-through. His bat speed has obviously diminished due to his age. There were some warning signs last year I believe, as I'm pretty sure he led the majors in most home runs that barely left the park (of course, Abreu was 2nd).

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:59 AM) LaDunn another stellar night. I'm sick of hoping for our DH named Adam to retire after the season so the Sox save money.

Ha, LaRoche freaking sucks. You know it's bad when if you could void the contracts for LaRoche, Melky and Robertson, you absolutely would and let them sign elsewhere.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:56 AM) This absolutely should be Soto facing Siegrist. Scratch that, had no idea about Siegrist's splits

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:56 AM) Avi drops one in there. Hits like that show he does have potential. I'm not in the Avi sucks category yet. He's a good breaking ball hitter

This absolutely should be Soto facing Siegrist.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 02:51 AM) Is it bad that I don't even care if the Sox lose anymore? More losses just guarantee better draft position next year and hopefully it'll make the Sox become sellers that much fast. This team obviously won't make the playoffs, so they might as well start selling off pieces. And to a team in front of the Cubs, as well.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 02:49 AM) But Kenny will be, as long as JR has his 05 ring At least Kenny has shown he can field a competitive team. Hahn has made a lot of good moves in theory, but way too many underachievers.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:46 AM) Year 1 of the Great 3 Year Plan. If they keep this up, Hahn won't be around by year 3.

The team really came out of ST and the ASB strong

Sick piece of hitting there. Robertson seems to get burned on his fastball so much more than his curve.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:33 AM) Tough crowd. I've waited and waited and except for Heads, no positive comments about Danks. You guys have proven you are one, tough set of message board fans. I have players I despise, but I give credit when it's due, like saying Melky had a nice slash hit tonight for the RBI. Danks pitched great tonight....happy?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:28 AM) Apart from everything else and every other bit of evidence in the universe, you'd think we were the better team if you watched these four games. Maybe not better, but definitely comparable ability.
