Don’t need Duran to get hot right now.

Guardians were just a bit more desperate…

Had a lot of spin on it…

Not a great read…not many opportunities to play there.

At least the Mets are up 3-0 early.

Mets decapitated against CLE at Progressive but at least no Lowe/Adell in the lineup yet. Monasterio and Durbin have been two of the key Boston leaders...ex Brewers both.

Two years ago...their respective values couldn't have been any more opposite. Unless it's today.

Vargas Colson ??? (surely compared to 23-24) Peters until recently Boston Smith Jacob Gonzalez Bonemer Antonacci There was suddenly this more prevailing idea that the system could magically fix/transform hitters (at least since the second half of 25)...but how true is that really? Peters Colson and Gonzalez (sss) are falling back. Acuna at best is a wash with last year. Are the Sox really going to take credit for Mune's adjustments to velocity? Meidroth is pretty similar to the player everyone expected on offense, in aggregate, although his defense has been a pleasant surprise. Teel ... well, who the hell knows what he is at this point? Otoh Quero was the only significant disappointment, based on prospect pedigree. Maybe B.Montgomery not quite hitting for as much power as was initially hoped for???

No Pal! ?

were they referred to as prospect huggers? when there's so much hype and hope and page views for prospects...it's normal to see attached fans get bent out of shape reminds me a tad bit of Chris Rongey although I don't think anyone could possibly be so arrogant/dismissive/petulant all in one in dealing with Sox fans MiLB.comVahn Lackey Stats, Age, Position, Height, Weight, Fantasy...Vahn Lackey Stats, Age, Position, Height, Weight, Fantasy & News

Turns out the Rockies want him around for longer, as well. Mickey Moniak and the club agreed to a two-year, $16.25 million contract extension through 2028, sources told MLB.com.

Aren't we paying Dominguez's buyout?

B+ The White Sox got markedly better without sacrificing the future; that's a win in our book. It has been an unexpectedly stellar season on the South Side, one that has pushed the Pale Hose into contention well ahead of schedule. But GM Chris Getz and Co. didn't get over their skis and do anything reckless. No, this was a reasonably aggressive deadline performance. Taking on Castillo's contract makes sense, given the club's relatively small payroll. He's not what he once was but remains a competent back-end starter with experience to impart. Brazobán and Doyle provide some depth. Nothing Earth-shattering here, but this is a nice series of moves for the Sox as they attempt to finish off what would be a shocking division title. yahoo.com/sports

They need to keep someone who can back up all three outfield spots unless they plan on it being Acuna...

Two years ago, this trade would have set pulses racing, as Doyle won his second Gold Glove in two MLB seasons but more significantly added some pop to his game: 23 homers, 72 RBIs and a 3.9 WAR that seemed to predict multi-tool minor stardom ahead. But in the two years since, the center fielder has badly regressed. His 2025 was a stumble to a 0.2 WAR that apparently affected his defense as well, and this season Doyle battled oblique and groin injuries that saw him sent to Triple-A for a rehab assignment before his call-up just two games ago. Sam Bradfield over at our sister site Purple Row offered her insight on the trade, promising that "when [Doyle] is on, he's on" and that the speedster ran into both bad injury luck and struggles with altitude. He'll face no such problems with the latter in the flatlander climes of Chicago, so perhaps the White Sox coaching staff can coax back more of the speed-D-pop excellence we saw from Doyle two seasons ago. yahoo.com/sports Can they actually find two Tristan Peters/es in a single season...?

Yankees made the same determination on their catchers as well. @FiresideYankees: "The Yankees have signed Christian Bethancourt to an MiLB deal, per @BryanHoch . The 34-year-old catcher had a 90 wRC+ and . 466 SLG% in 59 games for the Iowa Cubs (AAA) this season. At least we didn’t get M.Maldonado back out of retirement.

After the Dodgers added Tarik Skubal to arguably the most loaded roster in baseball history, the cries for major financial changes to the sport grew even louder. The relatively light package L.A. surrendered to land the two-time Cy Young winner exposed the fact that the Dodgers can hoard prospects due to their ability to outbid everyone for major league talent on the open market. That allows them to keep and grow their young players and deal from that depth. The chances we got a full season in 2027 were low, and only got lower as the Dodgers continued to expose the built-in advantages they hold over everyone else in baseball. It should be a long offseason. —R.P si.com

There's only one way they would trade Arias, and it's for a specific player on the Washington Nationals, according to The Athletic. "One rival executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity to be candid, said he believes the Red Sox might only trade Arias for the Washington Nationals' CJ Abrams. The Red Sox are not necessarily as high on other shortstops who've been linked to the team, such as the Los Angeles Angels' Zach Neto and Miami Marlins' Otto Lopez. Abrams is under club control for two additional seasons, Neto and Lopez for three," The Athletic wrote. Crazy that AJ Preller gave up Gore, Wood Jr., CJ Abrams and Jarlin Susana, who is now the Nats' #4 prospect OF Robert Hassell was even higher rated at the time. And Luke Voit to boot.
