Good for him, but good lord what happened to Toronto's outfield that they're reaching this far down the depth chart?

Up to .500 with a 3/4 day.

I watched him the other night against the Phillies. His stuff looked great.

The Mets just DFA'd Carl Edwards Jr, who had been throwing really well...though only 6 innings so far.  Seems like a no-brainer chance to bring him back.

Walks are always going to be a part of Edwards' profile; he had four in six innings of work with the Mets. But if he's missing bats, he can be effective. He struck out 11 of the 25 batters he faced during his time with the Mets while only giving up one run.

Kilian averaged 94mph his last 2 years with us so he now has a 3 mph velo bump

Andrew Chafin opted out of his minor league deal with the Reds.  Another former Cubs pitcher available.

Could it finally be happening? I'd be so happy for him if he makes his MLB debut. 

Quote

Outfielder Brennen Davis is with the Mariners on a minor league deal. As part of that deal, he has an assignment clause today, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. If he triggers the clause, he will be offered up to all the teams in the leagues. If any club is willing to give him a roster spot, the Mariners would have to either add him to their own roster or send him away to another club that would. Divish notes that Davis also has an August 1st opt-out.

It seems like Davis has a decent chance of getting a roster spot in the coming days. He is crushing the ball with Triple-A Tacoma, currently sporting a .293/.404/.569 line. Even in the context of the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, that performance leads to a 145 wRC+, indicating Davis has been 45% better than league average. He has eight home runs in 151 plate appearances and is drawing walks at a strong 12.6% clip.

First video I’ve watched of the channel. I know I am going to enjoy these. 😄

This podcast is so much fun. The Dexter episode just came out today. I love how in every single one of these they talk about how much they hated the Cardinals and how much fun it was to beat them down in 2015.

The funniest part to me is the Cardinals were always trying to be buddy-buddy with them until the Cubs started beating them in 2015.

Keegan Thompson had his contract selected by the Rockies. He's up with the club.

Brennan Davis is still in AAA but did in fact have his contract selected.
