I wouldn't bet on it.

Actually an interesting name to consider would be a pending free agent in Trevor Bauer. For a 30 day rental, the price shouldn't be too bad, and Cincy is falling apart.

I am OK with Cease pitching in the playoffs. In fact I welcome it. If he can get that kind of experience this year it will go a long way towards figuring out what kind of pitcher he can be going forward.

Eventually? Sure. And that date will vary as to what happens to roster slots at the major league level, as well as things like 40 man roster considerations, etc. I am just not there yet when it comes to the upper end guys.

Call me crazy, but there are a list of factors at play here. #1, we don't know for sure if there will be a baseball playoffs this year. #2, we have no idea if baseball next year will even happen, or if it does, what it will look like. #3, Lynn is a free agent in a season and a month. #4, We are not in the part of the window where we should be mortgaging short term gain for long term losses. I would rather not have Lynn, than give up a lot of significant future pieces for him. #5, even if we come up short this year, I am willing to do that in order to hold the future together. If I am giving up real pieces for a pitcher, I want at least 3 years of control in exchange.

Unfortunately your window is closing because today's game coverage is starting in less than two hours.

There isn't much to say. He can't opt back in at this point and he can't be traded because he can't be added to the 60 man roster.

I am going to guess Eloy sits, so Yoan plays. Maybe we see Engel in left, or get Gonzalez a chance at some ABs?

Williams vs Keuchel

I would rather have Dunning or Stiever enter the rotation now than make this deal.

I got you bro.

No need to confess. He is settling into this job very nicely and making it his own. I like the kid a lot too. I just wish they would find him a better match as a partner.

If he wants to get paid, he is also thinking of the contract beyond this next one, and being a lesser of a platoon situation isn't going to do it.

Eloy is basically Kenny from South Park. You don't know how or when, but you know it is coming.

It really needs to be said, while the Giolito no hitter is incredible by itself, but to get 13 strikeouts and still only throw 101 pitches? That is insane. 30 swings and misses. It was the very definition of domination.

Bingo.
