Hill isn't even that guy if you look at his career as a whole. Closer to a Peters type...glove first SB guy. Now if they could just get rid of Benintendi, too.

Romo ops is crazy for a sub 200 average.

That bullpen usage was nuts until it worked out perfectly. Just like the string of ph'ers. Importantly, won this one without anything from the Big 3 except Vargas RBI..Fedde starting too.

Hill pretty darned clutch. Pulling off some Griffey/Brian Anderson theatrics. Just need to get Hays Teel Pereira back. Kelenic and Quero out. Peters vs. Hill vs. Acuna will be the toughest decision for Getz. Have to cut Acuna based on performance.

We'll see what Hudson is made out of. Just don't want to see Hicks.

Taylor is much better off in clean inning starts

Too early for Hudson Newcomb would have been fine

Schweitzer fell apart after that reversal on Jensen.

Meidroth looking more Pedroia than Madrigal atm

Or Jose Game Winning Uribe

High fb destroyed that at bat.

The main ask would be Davis Martin. Maybe a reliever...as well.

Ja Morant ... haha

Trout has to go to a big market playoff contender that can at least afford most of the risk of assuming the remainder of that contract. That much should be obvious...and a decent farm system as well to choose from.

There's another reason for Roch. 3B is becoming a dead zone for big league power hitting. Colson Roch Vargas Bonemer gives you a crazy/insane amount of options over there... Just like Teel/Quero was supposed to provide a "niche advantage" to the Sox. Or LHP pitching development, etc.

Well they definitely have four Top 100 outfield prospects in AA/AAAA they're not ready to bring up yet. "It's a bad time to be a good outfield prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm system. Forget the major league depth that the team has already accrued (hard as that may be to do with a group led by Kyle Tucker, Teoscar Hernández, and Andy Pages). The organizational depth chart is a who's who of top prospects: Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, Eduardo Quintero, Mike Sirota, Kendall George, Ryan Ward, and so many more." Now there's James Tibbs as well...SF to Boston to LA, high draft pick.

Charlotte numbers hocus pocus. You can't even get much for KLee Leasure and Gonzalez combined.

White Sox have the second best WC record by 1/2 game. But Cleveland added 1/2 game to their Central lead against the woeful Angels at home.

Before that it was Outman...or Peterson.

Pages has the best fWAR in mlb. Then you have Tucker and Teoscar. Doesn't even count Edman and k*** Rodriguez. That said, Ohtani's in a terrible slump now.

Dude wants an opportunity to play...less dysfuctional than the Astros.

Benetti crack?

No point to bring up Gonzalez and just park him on the bench. He's not going to replace Meidroth or Antonacci at this point...or Vargas at third.

Success of Murakami and Okamoto mitigates against that somewhat, though. Now if you said don't spend $125 million on Itoh after the Imai debacle in Houston, would tend to agree with steering away from pitchers. Roki Sasaki right now has a 5.76 era as we speak...taking baby strides. Devery just blasted his supposed best pitch the splitter out of the park at 102.7 and over 400 feet. Imai has a way out of his Astros' deal after season, but the asking price would have to come down pretty dramatically. Imanaga in line for a big deal if he can maintain a low 2s ERA for the second half when he tends to wear down and lose crispness on his pitches...error margin tighter in the low 90s. I guess it also depends on how close Sato and Mune are...he's kind of new blood on the Samurai scene, Seiya Ohtani Mune Kondoh Okamoto and Yoshida the old guard in terms of intl experience. Japanese manager waited too late to commit to Sato over Kondoh imo, and tried Rotating Sato with Okamoto at third base when they were in Japan inearly wbc pool play.
