Likely out for postseason and essentially a FA. And $38.5 million richer...

Looks like he's just barely out but maybe it stands.

Someone will invariably raise the 83-79 Cards that won the WS, exact same record as Cincy...counterpoint, Baltimore from 2023-24.

You've already forgotten 2020? One of the few teams to win G1 and go on to lose a short three game series. The Cubs' problem is that their success is going to be how sustainable without Tucker and short in the rotation as well???...Imanaga hasn't been nearly as good as 2024 and Steele will take some time rehabbing from TJS. Guess a lot depends on what type of player PCA really is...just like Colson for the Sox, hard to predict 2026 results. Looking back on that timeframe...losing Tatis with nothing to replace him hurts the most. That young star to sell jerseys and inspire those young future fans in terms of their future loyalties.

Was it really worth if for Reds' fans to get to the postseason for this? Guess knocking the Mets out was 50% of the joy and happiness of following a team for 6 months. Looks like Detroit and the Cubs will have to represent "flyover territory" if the Brewers pull of their usual postseason fade.

Batting practice...two dingers for Ohtani/T.Hernandez.

Just not enough offense...that only works in both Central divisions.

Alex Call for LAD lol For example, Sox and Cubs didn't notice this guy in their backyard. "Jack Dreyer didn’t get picked in the MLB draft, but that didn’t stop him. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Dodgers in 2021, even though he was still recovering from Tommy John surgery at the Univ of Iowa." Superior scouting/resources. It's not Pujols getting "stolen" away by the Cards from a Kansas City community college...but every little roster addition adds up.

Sure, but Kershaw Sasaki Sheehan and Wrobleski blows away the Sox current rotation and none of those guys are starting in the postseason with the possible exception of Kershaw ... That's not even counting Dustin May (traded), Knack, Tony Gonsolin and Casparius.

So much for this game...Dodgers don't get to test out their new bullpen alignment. Henriquez Sasaki Sheehan Wrobleski Dreyer over Banda Kershaw out of this series, no Kopech either

Ishbia or another team...JR just doesn't believe in anything longer than 3 years after John Danks and then Lance Lynn.

The next one will be for Shane Smith when he's inevitably traded away and finds another 2-3 mph on his fastball.

A lot more polite this Alex Cora with his "let's get out of this ----hole" in Netflix series.

We're Skeptical. "They still suck." Major League/groundskeepers "Doubting Thomases Stand Up"

Except the Dodgers...

Home plate umpires today have been terrible with ball/strike calls...

He was (going to be) on a cheaper contract at least for those final two arb years in 2025-26...before Red Sox extension. That deal would have another $75-125 million on it if signed today. Which has a LOT of value to Boston in light of clearing the Devers deal from the books...filling out the remainder of the roster for Breslow.

Have heard this year that Teel and Meidroth alone make that a winning trade for the Sox...

Dodgers with glide path to NLCS through just Cincy and the Phil without Z.Wheeler....

Make it a trifecta with Suzuki Ohtani and Yoshida massively impacting games today. No Venn diagram overlap with the White Sox there.

Cease gets yet another chance to prove he's an ACE/TOR starter. Not counting on it...except for the fact he's facing his ex-organization.

Shades of El Duque and Jenks in 2005 with that escape...

Yet another former White Sox reliever...appearing today. Kahnle didn't pitch for DET today, did he? Was flipping back and forth. Bednar and D.Williams just haven't worked out in NY...most can't handle the pressure compared to Pittsburgh and Milwaukee.

Announcers forgetting Crochet's 2020 playoff experience vs. the A's...haha.
