May be more of the same like this year where they want to be competitive, but then need to sell what they have to if things are horrible again (probably will be if they take this path). Still need to field a team and a trade is going to bring back nothing right now for him anyway.

I know the argument for moving him now but there's literally nothing in free agency at the position. And we don't really know if they are going to tear it down. Knowing them, they will try to be competitive next year with whoever is left here/whatever they can get on cheap 1-2 year deals.

Yeah, unless they think he really needs to go due to his attitude or how he is in the clubhouse (things us as fans wouldn't know), you gotta keep him for next year and hope he bounces back for a payday and to flip him at the deadline.

Old friend Ryan Tepera opted out of his minor league deal with the Rangers, where it looks like he threw well after being released by the Angels. Might as well bring him in for when we trade pen piece...or two...or three.

Yes please. And bat Robert 2nd.

Off topic (maybe a little on topic?) but does anyone else think it’s weird that there is a scheduled doubleheader between the Phillies and Padres on Saturday?

Wtf lol

Eh, you'd still rather see the guys playing well in the minors that are MLB "ready" getting the playing time. Reyes and Gonzalez are fine as bench pieces.

This core has had more divorces than play off appearances. Edit: I think it may be tied

Lmao there are teams that spend way less and are more successful. Jesus what an awful take ? edit: teams that spend way less and way more successful in harder divisions*

Right now, yeah. Going to be needed at the MLB level soon enough.

Hey, just remember: talk to them after the parade.

I should have said: "if he wants a job as a GM he won't."

If he wants to keep a job in the MLB, he won't.

When’s the last time a player sat out the All-Star game because he got hurt in the Home Run Derby?

Did Colas die?

Yeah I think the old way was better.

Pretty sure someone jokingly said this would happen.

Lmao of course

Yeah if you’re trading him now, it’s because you believe he’s a problem in the clubhouse and/or you don’t have faith in him turning it around.

I'm just torn on him. Part of me thinks they should keep him and see how he does next year but honestly, he probably needs a change of scenery and staying longer may not be the best.

He can’t really catch much anyway. Might as well see Perez.

If Grandal isn’t moved by the deadline, I would release him for sure.

No idea but hopefully Giolito, Lynn, Clevinger, Middleton, Lopez, Graveman, Grandal are all dealt. I hope Moncada is too but that is so unlikely it isn't worth mentioning above.

Huh? There were plenty of people saying “it’s personal life” about to TA too.
