Jays and Yankees will probably get a lot more aggressive.

They couldn't have done this 3 days ago?

Cruz playing defense full time would be some funny shit.

To other teams who need a closer (like the A's and Jays), his vesting option might be something they want. Getting a closer like him for $16 million for only 1 season has some value, even if it's market price. So while we may not value the option, other teams might and it would increase his trade value.

Kimbrel doesn't make a ton of sense for us because we can't really afford to pay him next year and that's probably where a lot of his remaining value comes from. I was just trying to say that a lot of the Cubs' bullpen arms, like Chafin, aren't really worth going after since their numbers are heavily luck-based and they don't exactly have a history of previous success.

Tepera is decent but I want no part of any other Cubs relievers besides Kimbrel.

Dan Szymbroski has us trading Escobar for Yolbert Sanchez and Bryan Ramos. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-make-some-trades-the-2021-edition/?fbclid=IwAR17zgp-qVqf1HZ6oOUMd8Ht75hs2YiH4wV1jvaUpQIH9IigKGdo_bxiyJs

He's all kinds of messed up right now. He's hadn't given up runs recently, but none of his outings were all that good. It's been a long time since he's looked dominant like he was in early April.

I also heard the Yankees are still in on Machado.

On the MLB.tv feed I heard some people cheering and Twins players looking back on the field like something crazy was going on. Did somebody go on the field again?

Can't win em all. Play better in Milwaukee.

What is that, 5 double plays tonight?

His hand came off there and Moncada still had the tag on him.

Yoan tagged him late, he's safe.

No you didn't. You're trying to say they are integral. So you need to use they're and not their.

Burger got an absolute hanger.

C'mon man, you can't use the right version of they're correctly? It's pretty integral to the English language.

Time to activate double agent Colome.

Moncada just missed a homer.

1 run on 8 hits...ugh.

Nah there's always Hawkins and Fulmer.

Duffey's been absolutely trash this series and we still haven't scored off him

Offense just sleep walking tonight. Can't chain hits together and hitting the ball into the ground for double plays at the worst times.

So we shift on Sano but not Donaldson?

Duffey's been hit hard, Yoan just hit it right at someone.
