I saw a headline about interest in A.J. Ellis as well.

 

Rivera seems like the right target, no question on if he'd be available, cost would be minimal, solid defender and framer, not a complete black hole with the bat. Ellis is all of those things but the framing too.

 

As far as bullpen tagalongs go, I could most easily see Ramos + Ellis given they've been linked to Ramos. I'm not sure LHP needs to be a priority if they're giving up on Montgomery as a SP.

Neshek to the Rockies. Building a decent bullpen for a team that won't make the playoffs

 

Who's going to catch them? The Cubs are going to win the division and the Brewers are tanking fast.

 

I don't know what to make of the WC but the Diamondbacks and Rockies are certainly slipping. There just might not be another team out there good enough to threaten them.

The Rays just traded a Top 100 prospect for a lefty reliever that isn't Justin Wilson.

 

that top 100 prospect is a 24-year old first baseman OPSing .653 in AAA.

 

 

Who is no longer a Top 100 prospect. He was only on BA's list (74) and he's already off their mid-season list.

Assuming this isn't some negotiating ploy, relying on the health of Kershaw, Wood, Hill, Maeda and/or McCarthy in your playoff rotation seems like a great way to dash the World Series aspirations of a 110-win team.

Shh! Don't be spreading this misinformation around out out there on the West Coast.

Besides getting paid a ton of money to cheer on Ned Colletti's players, what, exactly, does Andrew Friedman do in LA?

He has debates with Danny Ainge over who has the most unused collateral.

Well the Mets just traded for AJ Ramos

 

He is signed through next year.

 

So, this is the Mets gearing up to go for it next year when all their pitchers are healthy.

I’ve never seen a post that needed so many asterisks
