Damn. Was Clase trying to break the sports cheating world record?

Goldschmidt back to the Yankees for about $5 million.  I would love having him instead of Austin as a RH 1B/DH.

I agree. Since they are going to go over the LT line anyway, I would rather have the surer hitter. Maybe Austin works out, but I think Goldy is a surer play.

Terribly sad. 34 is no age to die. 😞

Where are we talking about the Durbin trade?

Was coming to ask the same thing.

Looks to me like no one thought Durbin was going to be able to repeat his numbers from last year and the Brewers decided to sell high as they could despite the hole it creates for them at 3B. 

Fangraphs now has the Cubs up by 5 games in the division, which is moving out of “margin of error” territory.

And yet following the Durbin trade this site puts out an article on what the Cubs would need to get from a Nico Hoerner trade. The internet is dead. So long and thanks for all the clicks.

Woof.  Hamates are quick to get back on the field from but long to get back to 100%.

[Post Count Padder]

Verlander back to the Tigers. Easily the best rotation in baseball? Casey Mize is now their 5th starter.

[Post Count Padder]

Well that takes the Orioles out of the Gallen sweepstakes.

This is either awful timing or incredible timing depending on whether Tony Clark is actually good at his job.

They need a wartime consigliere.

I'd say he's about to be indicted, so...

Wow, when I read it I assumed the sister of his wife. Way worse to be the wife of his brother.

So Thanksgiving might be a little awkward this year for the Clarks.

That's about the worst non-illegal thing someone could do...
