    The Twins called up 8 players from AAA today lmao. A real Major League "Who are these F'in guys?" moment.
  2. Post Count Padder
    Maybe I've missed it along the way but anyone have any clue why Cade was striking out guys a bunch in the minors but is averaging like 6 K per 9 in the majors? Better competition? Working on his arsenal/pitch mix differently?

    Carter Trice, Tyler Schlaffler and (I think) Connor Noland join Pipeline's top 30 after the trades of Cruz, de la Cruz and Gallagher.

    I saw this. Is he cooked or is there something that can be salvaged for the final stretch to at least get us some decent innings?

    I think some of it comes down to how each team evaluates prospects. The guys the Yanks gave up weren't in their top 5 or 10 but maybe the Pirates and Giants scouts and front offices were enamored with the prospects they received and valued them higher internally.

    The Jax for Bradley deal is fascinating. Jax has been better than his ERA indicates and I think he led the majors last year in WAR by relievers who weren't closers. And Bradley was demoted but still has No. 2-3 starter upside. I wanted both at the deadline and they were traded for each other.

    There are several peripheral relievers who could get DFAd. Kriske seems obvious. Hollowell, Cosgrove could go. I like Roberts but he seems like another one. Luke Little has not gotten a look in a long while. Pearson has been bad when up. And at this point most of these guys would probably slip through waivers.

    Seriously, someone make Ricketts cry at the Cubs Con.

    As has been said, I like the moves we made generally. But it sucks we didn't get a bigger SP. And our bench is better but still not great. We're a better team now, yes, but not remarkably so. And it's annoying because if we're not gonna pay up with prospects, then what? Are we gonna call up Caissie as a big power bat or Alcantara to be a 4th OF or Triantos to handle infield duties or just let them all continue to marinate in AAA for time TBD? At some point you hold onto a prospect too long. Case in point, Curtis Mead was a decent prospect and the Rays gave him to the White Sox for Houser.

    Twins trading Louis Varland and Ty France to Blue Jays. Griffin Jax to Tampa. They will have fans coming out of the bullpen to pitch.

    Does the Red Sox getting May mean they're out on Ryan and.........................👀
  12. Post Count Padder
    Red Sox getting Dustin May Padres getting Nestor Cortes. Mad dash to the finish line.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Ok losing Gallagher hurts a little

  15. Post Count Padder
    Red Sox making a late push for Joe Ryan apparently.
  16. Post Count Padder
    He was an All Star last year. Not a bad hitter, some pop. But a big thing is he can play everywhere and is a nice safety net at third if Shaw slumps again.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Oh thank god. Honestly Castro is such a good fit on the club right now it would have been stupid to not acquire him. Still hoping for another SP in the final 30.
  18. Post Count Padder
    The Padres are giving up their 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks from last year in the O'Hearn/Laureano trade lol. The flip side to Hoyer is definitely Preller.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Sounds like the Rangers are getting Kelly.
  20. Post Count Padder
    The Padres made another deal, getting Will Wagner from the Blue Jays. And fwiw to all the people freaking out about lack of reports, this trade was broken by the Padres tweeting it. No one else had it.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Is this the year we finally get Brian Roberts and Jake Peavy?
  22. Post Count Padder
    Preller is a psycho. I love it.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Yankees add Jake Bird, who I had my eye on. They give up Ben Shields, a 26 year old lefty, and Roc Riggio, a second baseman hitting well in AA and a member of the great names HOF.
  24. Post Count Padder
    This seems awfully light
  25. Post Count Padder
    Rafael Flores is a decent catching prospect but no way can he be the headliner for Bednar, especially with the going rate at this deadline. Also interesting to note as he's in AAA and Pirates have Henry Davis, Endy Rodriguez and Joey Bart.
