Lenny 2 Strikes?

This is eerily similar to them trading Betts cause they didn't want to pay him. Devers' contract is probably gonna be terrible in about 4 years, but still. They basically got salary filler and one decent prospect back for a 4 WAR third baseman in his prime.

The conundrum of not wanting to be a historically bad team, but also wanting the #1 pick in the draft.

A 54 win team is a hell of a lot better than a 41 win team.

Uh I'm pretty sure he checked up on that..

He's been living off a good first 9 innings this year. His FIP has always been around 5. It's hard to constantly escape bad peripherals when you don't have good stuff like Wilson.

Going from Taylor to Wilson is such a gigantic downgrade

Or he's just flipping the batter off

So long Lance Lynn re-gen!

I'd say they really needed an OFer, especially when Eloy got hurt in 2021. Because Vaughn was mostly terrible out there. What didn't make a whole lot of sense was that he got worse as time went on. He was actually better in his first season than his 2nd in the outfield.

He was helped out by the aluminum bats in college. He's got a bad case of warning track power once he turned pro. That's one of those things you can definitely work on as a pro by bulking up, which if the work ethics posts are any indication, he hasn't been working on.

He somehow less and less athletic every year as a guy in his early/mid 20s.

I doubt we'd get to load the bases off Richards if he didn't.

Difference ended up being that play by Witt. I think he's won games for the Royals against us at least 5 times in the past few years.

C'mon Tim give us another walk off

Witt saves the Royals again

I for sure thought they'd get 2 runs on that hit

Too bad they took out Richards

Please DFA Temu Lance Lynn

All hail the corner triangle

It's gonna cost him $40 million

Tauchman might actually get us something in a trade if he continues to hit for another month.

I know he got hurt at a bad time and didn't get much ST, but if he was any good he would have shown some signs of not being awful by now.

I guess that April Fools post about Teel getting called up after trading Lee wasn't completely off

We didn't even need the rain to save us. Good showing from the offense.
