Gritty win after yet another blown 20+ point lead. This team just can't hold big leads. Good to see Vooch come back with another good game. They finally have Vooch, Zach, and DeMar going at the same time. Lonzo missed just about every wide open 3 and they still won. Had he just made 2 or 3 of them this game wouldn't have gone down to the wire.

This deal convince me that we can totally get rid of Kimbrel's contract if the Brewers found a taker for JBJ.

They're in the high teens in the Brewers' system. I'm not sure why Boston decided to trade a guy who hit 30 homers and was worth 3 WAR for a negative value player last year who's making a lot more money.

Wait, the Brewers got somebody useful for the contract of JBJ?

Also if Knebel is getting $10 million a year, the market for Tepera will probably be 2-3 years at $7-8 million per year.

Knebel hasn't closed for a few years but was pretty good last year. I wonder if this takes the Phillies out of the Kimbrel market.

Dude can't catch a break.

Oh that's why lmao

There was a time where I thought you and Squirmin' for Yermin were the same person. Cause IIRC, you were literally Squirmin' for Yermin at one point.

I don't look at the tweets as anything definitive, but they do at least spark some conversation.

It sucks ass cause it's all because Rich Paul couldn't keep his mouth shut for like an hour.

I do think it's funny that Leury Legend is now the de facto nickname for Leury. I always thought that nickname was said sarcastically, but not anymore it seems.

It's a fair deal. Even if he gives us 1 WAR per year that's worth it.

I think if a salary floor is put in, guys like Leury will end up getting more just cause the likes of the Pirates will need to sign guys as filler to reach the floor.

Sox are far more likely to get a guy like Manaea than Gray. Manaea only has one year of control left.

They already have 2 Calhouns. Now they're going for 2 Grays?

He also hits a ton of grounders. I wouldn't have been mad if we got him, but I think Conforto is the better fit.

He beat Hendriks' deal.

Seems about right for Leury.

If Leury's new-found plate discipline is real, he's probably one of the better utility players in baseball. That said, he's not an everyday-type player.

I think people are complaining because they know that Leury's going to be the backup plan if they don't convert on FA signings.

This is fine as long as he's not the everyday 2B or RFer.

It'll be fun to see the mental gymnastics that Dodgers fan will have to do to convince themselves that he's not so bad after calling him a cheater for the last 2 years. Same for Yankees fans.

He's terrible on defense.

Leury Garcia is probably more deserving to be the 6th guy in that picture than Simmons.
