QUOTE (turnin' two @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 07:55 PM) The problem is, oddly enough, the Rockies pitching has been pretty solid. Yes but they have younger guys that will need to pitch deep in the season and post season. Not sure some of those arms are going to be full strength as the season goes on. Plus you can never have enough pitching.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:06 PM) I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. Its funny that the sox have a better pen then the nationals

Nationals pen blows the lead again. Jacob turner gives up tying homer to stanton

https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/inside-bas...prise-quintana/ "Could the Dodgers be a surprise entry in the Jose Quintana sweepstakes? They certainly have the prospects to get a deal done, and there’s a belief ChiSox people are eyeing them. While the Astros, Pirates and Yankees have been suggested to be the most likely landing spots, the White Sox were frustrated by Houston’s offers and the Pirates don’t look like a contender to this point. Quintana’s salary would fit the Dodgers’ aim to keep a semi-reasonable payroll. Though they already have more potential major-league starters than anyone (and five left-handers if Scott Kazmir returns to join Clayton Kershaw, Alex Wood, Rich Hill and Hyun-Jin Ryu) but they seem to strictly adhere to the bromide: you can never have too much pitching."

http://nypost.com/2017/06/17/cashmans-trad...an-starter/amp/ Quintana stuff is at the bottom of the article "All of this is why — though the Yankees and White Sox have not made a trade since 2009 — Quintana makes sense, as long as Yankees scouts are comfortable his high ERA reflects more on being constantly in trade rumors while on a poor team rather than a decline in stuff. Also, Cashman would have to be comfortable with Quintana’s past, because in recent years the Yankees GM has tended to shy away from players with PED histories, and the Mets released Quintana in the minors after he failed a 2007 test — which actually led to him signing to play in the Yankees’ minors. He would cost the kind of prospects who would help alleviate some 40-man roster crunch — this is made up by me: Adams, Frazier, Mateo and Estevan Florial. He is just 28 and lefty. Plus, he is under control through 2020, and how his team-friendly deal is structured Quintana would cost just $5.3 million toward the luxury tax payroll next year. The Yankees would have plenty of competition for Quintana, notably from the Astros. But a lot of Cashman’s history points toward him as a real possibility."

https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/inside-bas...yers-needs/amp/ Heymans full article. List possible spots of houston, cubs, yankees and dodgers who could use/look at Quintana. Also nationals could use robertson

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/06/trad...ers-rox-as.html "On the American League side, Heyman focuses on the White Sox, who have quite a few interesting trade pieces, as recentlyexamined by MLBTR’s Jeff Todd. He suggests that there are indications the Sox do intend to move lefty Jose Quintana this summer — and they don’t think they’ll need to accept a sub-par return despite his struggles so far. There’s some “belief” that Chicago could be hoping to draw interest in Quintana from the Dodgers, Heyman notes in the N.L. post. Meanwhile, the organization isn’t as interested in fielding offers for first baseman Jose Abreu, per the report."

QUOTE (ron883 @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 08:04 PM) Robertson and swarzak for robles I think you would be starting with robertson and kahnle would have more of a chance to be talking robles.

Nightengal has said the astros are pretty much looking for a top rotation arm and lefty reliever. Dont think they need robertson. On the other hand the nationals desperately need bullpen help and teams know that so they will ask top return for their relievers.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 09:17 PM) Get Mike Rizzo on the phone asap. Robertson for robles

Nationals with another blown save and bullpen loss in extra innings. Hopefully they come calling for robertson

Nats already checking the market for closers. here are some names they have internally discussed https://t.co/XZSman6dgh https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/865262238143094784 CThe Washington Nationals have begun making calls now for closer, and while they haven’t found anyone who’s immediately available, David Robertson is very likely to become available and perhaps makes the most sense."
