Micker is a great trade candidate as well, if someone else is willing to play him early. He is out of options, so he needs to be on an MLB roster come April 1 next year. Probably doesn't help his trade value though.

Crap, I didn't realize we were at the half way mark. I though we were still in the mid 70's.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good move. For the record, he is looking at about $3.5 million per month, so at this point, you are probably looking at around $11-12 million with the amount of games left in the schedule

Burger is actually one of the guys we would miss the least out of the system. He has guys in front of him literally everywhere he can play, and everywhere you might be able to play him. His timeline being pushed up as much as he has is also a problem. Sure you can say he will hit somewhere, and he will be a professional major league hitter, but you aren't going to bench the guys in front him either. Move him and rebalance the team a bit better.

They don't "officially" call them up until the day of the game, even though his ass was on a plane last night https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/1410958135498575875?s=20

When the prospect cost is factored in? For sure.

I don't recall anyone talking about Semien as a utility guy, as much as a guy who couldn't field to save his life. Granted there were plenty of people who talked about moving him around because of that.

The hard part is not knowing how everyone is playing at that point either, or even who is still on the roster.

I can appreciate what Dave does more because he doesn't spend nearly as much time mixing his opinion with his leaks, and doesn't present his opinions and guesses as leaks to fill time and space.

Need a Robin Ventura mention for sure.

Post update FG 93.1% to make playoffs, 91.1% to win ALC and 9.9 to win WS BR 98.6% to make playoffs, 98.2% to win ALC, and 8.1% to win WS 538 92% to make playoffs, 90% to win division, 8% to win WS

We get it, because he was just "depressed".

Cute, but nah. In 2021, crapping all over someone's legitimate mental health struggles after potentially having the one thing they have done their whole life taken away, isn't right. It's not about being "depressed". It's a real person we are talking about here. Don't minimize their struggles just because you didn't fight their fight. Even if it isn't real to you, it was real to him. There is no reason to not try to be better.

This is a terrible take.

Tradition is tradition.

So Bye Bye Burdi?

Maybe see the Burdi for Burger switch?

Most of the Bartolo hate was one dude.

SUCK IT TWINS X3!!!

Gonna guess this is more about Moncada.

My god, his route was an L

Even if Mendick makes that play, no one is covering 1st.
