Soriano would be a decent fallback option...need depth/innings more than anything.

Seller's market If you take Skubal off the top of the list...that tentatively puts a scuffling F.Peralta there, but still 18-20 teams chasing the same thing, quality pitching. Maybe Mason Miller's availability takes 1-2 more better prospects off the board, though. But now Aroldis Chapman gone...maybe StL still tries to sell high on 31 year old O'Brien? Scherzer/Bieber yet two more wild cards.

3-3 THANKS for nothing Eisert.

Guardians down 3-0 to Pitt...

After Skubal is eliminated...if he is...you have the Rays Dodgers Braves that all have more prospects to spare to go after Detmers.

Detmers and Skubal will cost too much prospect capital. R.Ray Wacha1A/Lugo1B E.Rodriguez Flaherty will be more about salary relief. F.Griffin D.May Lambert Soroka another four maybes in teams of inclusion on the market.

Would the Angels really want Quero back??? Why? Carlson is still at least three years away and needs to add power/strength. New Angels' GM will likely want prospects closer to AA/AAA with the ability to impact the 2027 roster.

Hard to get an underpay in a clear seller's market....unless it's taking over a bad contract and holding onto prospects. Will JR/Boyer authorize payroll bikes...based on increased/projected revenues?

Red Sox now one game over .500 S.Gray Chapman off the market. That's something like 12 or 13 in a row

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/curtis-mead-had-breakthrough-first-191500130.html References the work he has done with Nationals' hitting lab. Very thorough look at him this year. Notes former Rays' connections to Butera/Johns and new GM. Playing in the WBC with Bazzana's constant energy around him also seemed to help.

Mead's 5 4 4 3 box score line with three doubles definitely boosted some fantasy teams... Has his BA almost up to .260 too. Now have to retract that nickname.

Braves' possible pieces for Skubal "If the Braves can keep Spencer Schwellenbach, Owen Murphy and J.R. Ritchie to take up the mantle in Skubal's eventual absence, it becomes easy to stomach the loss of Caminiti, Waldrep and Fuentes."

Pereira has to be on active roster or exposed to waivers? They will give him a LONG rehab assignment in AAA first.

White Sox are the best story in baseball só far this season. Rays and Brewers, you have to expect it. Maybe the Phils’ comeback to relevance is #2.

Pereira nowhere close. Same with Hays.

The recent golf series with Owen Wilson was actually fairly decent...Judy Greer and his podcasting co-star helped it along.

Probably somewhere in between for SEC/ACC. For Big Ten, much closer to Low A, though.

Organizational ranking overall out of 30? Between 6 and 8?

Volchko and Cam Johnson are definitely going to be overslot. Segura maybe a bit...?

You're also talking about a player whose father was a legendary beisbol hero/Olympic champion in Cuba...survived the trying defection process, was a #36 prospect in the entire game with nearly a 900 milb ops coming up in one of the best if not the best organization...his faith and belief in his eventual success is going to be a lot higher than someone like Jared Kelenic or Nick Madrigal. And it's not like they have a miracle fix for everyone...or they would now have Curtis Mead now at DH instead of Benintendi, at least if they were a typical large market team stuck with a sunk cost contract like that. And some players just need a fresh start with a new organization, like Andrew Vaughn last season.

2019

In 2020, there were only five rounds. How Cade Smith ended up going as an udfa to the Guardians. Somehow the players that belong in the big leagues always find a way.

Detmers… Stink of Anaheim irrelevance/non-competitiveness, minus Trout and previously Ohtani?

Só where are you projecting him to finish the season? Taking more and more time from Antonacci against LHP or perhaps Meidroth? Then Vargas/Mune takes Benintendi DH at bats away, right, with Colson at 3B? Or CF at bats from Peters? What about Grichuk?
