Unless he has a strong enough year, no way you pick up that option.

I will say this: it would have been awesome if they somehow could have dealt Vaughn (2 less years of control) in that deal instead of Burger and shifted him to 1B this season. Like I said the other day, the DH at bats are there as Eloy always gets hurt and is leaning more towards his option not getting picked up for next year anyway. Edit: maybe not that exact deal but Vaughn to another team with a 1B need for a similar pitching prospect.

You knew it was doomed when they wouldn't add any star power to obvious holes and with a cheap, young core. Just went all in on the guys here. Their payroll was so low in 2019 and with limited markets for the two big fish, they should have whipped their balls out on the table and signed both.

It’s like a bad car crash

Gonna have to swap him for Colas eventually.

Yeah, if he keeps that on him, it’s a no-brainer. From one angle he looks out. From the other he’s safe.

Yeah, make him make a good throw. But he has a good arm.

This team loves hitting the ball on the ground. Especially with guys on base and less than 2 outs.

Good speed for a catcher

Speaking of Sosa, guy has nothing to prove in the minors anymore. Get him up here and play him.

Thats my defense for sure. Not used to posting winning game threads lol

And they’re continuing to do that thing where they just play a guy down for an amount of time.

Ah f*** I forgot. My bad.

Maybe this will help him pass through?

lol I’ll use them or eat them if I can’t go. Plenty of PTO to burn and baby on the way mid-July. I’ll take in a game before my life changes haha

Just snagged a couple of tickets off Stubhub for $3.

Knew it was a bad sign when I just turned my TV on to see the Blackhawks game lol

To not start the service time of Nastrini I guess. He only needs 15 days in the minors for the extra year of control (I confirmed this in an MLBTR chat yesterday lol)

Light rain in South Suburbs about 30 minutes away.

edit

Strider vs Leone Bullpen day!

Who gets to make the game thread today if the winning GT from the day before had double posts at basically the exact same time? lol

Trade Crochet if you get both a great offer and no extension that doesn’t buy out at least 2-3 years of free agency.

They should be playing guys like Shewmake and Sosa (if he comes up). And if Colas keeps hitting, swap him for Fletcher.

Only 2 more years of control after this year.
