Right. Just place the Friday Saturday Sunday.

If that was possible at all, they would have dealt him for the best offer.

Yeah noticed that as well

I meant, I think the hot streak made them up the package they wanted in a trade. Not just a "we'll take him for the best offer" which seemed like it was going to happen for months. Picking up the option, there still isn't a guarantee he will be on the team next year.

I think his hot streak the few weeks leading up to the deadline changed things

If he ends up moving to 1B more fulltime going forward, we gotta see more power. He's been improving so hopefully we see it.

Hope he hits for the next month, pick up the option, try to trade him. If you can’t, then he’s your CF.

Yeah it’s not like they’re going from 65 wins to 85 wins. They’re going from “historically awful” to “still really bad”

Not talking about this specific but just in general

Random, but does anyone else kinda miss the days teams could call up more guys in September?

I don’t even think the 3rd catcher would even play that often when you have 2 guys ahead of him alternating. Thats why I kinda figured Lee would get dealt (since there was interest) and Sabol would serve that role.

This is the purpose. Now they will do it without thinking they need to lose the DH if a catcher gets hurt. But like you said in another post, that only really effects the remainder of that game.

They'll probably do this when rosters expand, right?

Yep they had me worried for most of the season lol

Yeah if there was a team that wanted him in the offseason, I'd sell him.

Davis Martin, not Martin Perez

Rockies only need 5 more wins to avoid taking the crown of failure of Jerry Reinsdorf's 2024 season.

302 and counting* but I know what you meant

They’ve lost over 300 since the start of 2023 lol

I thought someone posted here (or Twitter) that he did make changes (further back in box, closer to plate, etc)

Yeah I feel like most of the SP are at their ceilings (Burke, Cannon, Martin)

Give me John and Plesac and I'll be happy.

I mean there's plenty of teams who constantly sell their own, I guess you could add them to it,

I would argue that Cubs only draw so well due to location. Being in the middle of a bunch of bars.

I'm torn. Part of me thinks it would be awesome being in the same division as the Cubs and the other part of me hates it. Edit: it would definitely help out attendance a few extra games a season. And if you are in the same division as Cardinals and Brewers, you see a boost there as well when you play them.
