Nicaraguan. Can play third, second and first. Not that great defensively at any position. Depth piece, continuing in the tradition of ex-Royals Jay, Alcides Escobar and Ryan Goins.

Madrigal and Anderson would be two key pieces. Probably need a pitcher in there as well. The Dodgers we’re unwilling to give up Lux along with May and Verdugo, supposedly. So the Padres started pursuing him with their even deeper farm system to keep him from going to LAD. Moving Tatis to CF to protect him from injuries if it went through.

If I remember correctly, he’s from Corn Island in some Central American country and originally signed for right around $1 million with the Royals.

Why not devote your energies to creating the next Ryan’s Toy Review and gross $48 million the last two years at YT rather than pursuing the glory of being a fake insider MLB trade source?

So much for the, this is just setting the stages for a Ryu or Keuchel signing by timidly dipping your toes into the Boras waters theory.

Hater! We've actually "produced" 3 of the Top 8-10 shortstops in baseball!!! Semien, Tatis, Jr., and Tim Anderson.

How did the Reds suddenly become so effective with pitching all of a sudden? Gray returned to almost former form, with a 4.4 fWAR. DeSclafani finally became a solid contributor. Castillo looks like a future Cy Young Top 5 contender. I guess the positive there is that beating up the Cubs is the second best alternative to guys like Miley ending up with other organizations when we're in dire need of reasonable back-end of the rotation production just to stabilize the rotation and provide some more veteran leadership.

Because the Rays would want a true "high impact" player like Robert in order to trade away four years of Snell. Something like Robert and Cease would be the minimum request, or Robert and Vaughn. If they trade him away for anything less, they have no chance to compete year-in and year-out with the Yankees, Red Sox and eventually the Blue Jays again.

Felix Diaz had one memorable start against the Cubs as well. Hopefully he's not the White Sox Dominican ambassador or we'll never sign a pitcher out of there.

Well, if Nova starts out slow again this year, we can bring back the stories of the Chevy Nova's introduction into the Latin American market.

Now up to 59%. You can bet Disney is fighting to get more solid reviews to push it over into positive territory before the weekend. Only 47 ratings, so the majority still haven’t been filed. That said, Jumanji 2 is at 68%, and that felt pretty much like the worst movie ever, and I genuinely enjoyed the first, Rock-led remake.

Shouldn’t that video be addressed to ‘Ol Saint Jerry instead?

But his career year was 2018...?

What are those numbers?

The Cubs are not going to just give him away to the Sox, certainly not after losing the original Q deal by so much...

Came out in China 7:00 p.m. on Wed night to an indifferent reaction, since nothing Disney has tried to get fans to embrace the series has worked (including well-know Chinese actors and then Rose last movie). 820 pm showing must have had 15-20 people. Sometimes the lack of overall crowd in the theatre can influence one’s impression, but I’m going to be shocked if any die-hard fans say they loved anything beyond cinematography, special effects and score. Just $2.4 million first night here.

Moustakas seems happy...

Benintendi is no CFer, except in an emergency...well, maybe in the same sense Avi can play there.

Not sure about the valuable prospect part...probably just have to settle for a $3-4 million kickback.

Mehhhh. It’s alright. Thankfully, The Mandalorian can still redeem things...somewhat. I can’t imagine this won’t end up being more divisive than even the last film. It’s definitely worth seeing, but I won’t say anything more than that.

Then it's Wood, Walker, Teheran, McHugh, Felix, Harvey or Bailey. If the Yankees send at least $4~5 million, and nothing goes back in terms of prospects, it make about as much sense as anything else out there. I guess only the GMs know which baseballs will be used next year. Same exact ones, Happ is less attractive as a fly ball pitcher. They have no choice but to engage with Boras on Keuchel or Ryu...

Trevor Lisle shared his first post. New Member · Yesterday at 6:48 AM My Brother Worked for the White sox. All i know is they lost a legend.

The great thing about Happ is he wouldn’t cost any talent and the Yankees would probably send over $3-5 million to make it more palatable. It wouldn’t impact ant aspect of the 2021-23 contention windows unless he pitched well (165 IP and 27+ starts.) Clevinger and Snell are pipe dreams. Price requires the Red Sox to eat almost $50 million to make it a sound bet for the White a Sox. That’s a non-starter for them. Happ was really a decent pitcher in 2018 and 2017, right in the vicinity of 3 fWAR. He consistently gives you innings and is durable and takes the ball every fifth day. If they go back to non SuperBalls, he becomes even more valuable as he does surrender quite a few fly balls. He’s definitely not a black hole in the rotation like we had in the revolving 5th spot last year. https://www.pinstripealley.com/2019/10/23/20927761/yankees-2019-recap-ja-happ-least-valuable-player-pitching The Yankees got more than they bargained for when they acquired J.A. Happ in July 2018. The front office brought in the southpaw to stabilize the rotation, and he repaid them by delivering an ace-like performance down the stretch. Happ made nine regular-season starts for the Yankees in 2018, pitching to a 157 ERA+ in the process. That success made the club comfortable with handing Happ a two-year contract worth $34 million, plus a third-year vesting option to max the deal out at $51 million, in December—even if we had reservations. Happ didn’t need to pitch like a frontline starter to help the Yankees. He just had to live up to his reputation as a steady, reliable contributor towards the back of the rotation. If he went on a run like he did in the summer of 2018, the Yankees would gladly take it. Instead, he turned in 90 ERA+ clunker of a season. ..... To his credit, Happ bounced back to deliver a strong September. He made five appearances, four starts, and pitched to a 1.65 ERA (3.10 FIP) on the month. The southpaw made the Yankees’ postseason roster, but pitched out of the bullpen in three appearances. Happ surrendered a walk-off home run to Carlos Correa in Game Two of the ALCS, but tossed two scoreless frames in Game Six. At least he finished the year on a somewhat positive note.

The Red Sox are going to expect the White Sox to pay him $71 million over 3 years AND send them ANYTHING? WHY? WHY? WHY? Or the White Sox are going to get $71 million from the Red Sox (that seems even more unrealistic)...
