    I'd say no as the Cubs. Knowing they want rotation help and presumably aren't as high on Gausman as others what about Wood, McKinney and Jeimer for Gausman? Get a rotation piece back, a good OF prospect and potential 1B down the road? A potential ace for a guy who may not even be offered a contract, a decent prospect, but nowhere near top 100 in Jeimer and a good prospect without a ton of ceiling in McKinney. There's no way.

    I think the Orioles say no. They'd basically be punting 2016 as there is no way they could possibly add 3 quality starting pitchers and address 1B with the 40M they have to spend. Also, 3B,SS,2B are all filled with young talents or long contracts. Schoop is on the verge of a pretty big break out.

    As of right now the Orioles rotation is Tillman,Ubaldo,Gausman,Miguel Gonzalez and which ever non top prospect they choose for a 5th starter. I feel like it's incredibly safe to say, they aren't dealing Gausman when they themselves are looking to add 2 starters.

    I'd much prefer Baez or Castro is dealt, but say Soler is dealt for a young starter like Danny Salazar. Would anyone object to a RF platoon of Coghlan and Chris Young? Combined they'd cost you roughly 6.5 to 7M. Young put up a 162wRC+ against lefties last year and Coghlan put up a 125 wRC+ against righties. It seems like a relatively inexpensive way to get well above average production while biding time for whomever takes over long term.

    i don't care what the rumors were...there's no [expletive] way andrew friedman would hire him if ownership tried to force it on him he'd probably walk Dodgers fans already seem to want Friedman and Zaidi gone, especially when they were down 2-1 to the Mets. Apparently acquiring Wood/Latos as fill ins wasn't enough for their fans.

    I don't understand how MLB could possibly award EJM to the Giants unless they're suddenly making verbal agreements a binding legal contract, which we all know they aren't.

    A no go yet again and I can't justify spending $400+ on standing room seats.

    This. There will never be a better time to bring back Sammy and the fans will never be in higher spirits. I want to see one more sprint to the outfield.
  9. Tryptamine
    Damn it, I like the Nationals, but my god are they just awful when it comes to choosing managerial talent.

    Already said it in the other game thread, but I'd rather face 3 very goods and one unproven for 7 games versus 4 or 5 games of super elite. I could see the offense blowing up Syndergaard, Harvey or Degrom. I can't see them doing that to Greinke or Kershaw.
  11. Tryptamine
    Wow, that is seriously a bummer. By far my favorite guy.
  12. Tryptamine
    I much prefer the Mets. Greinke and Kershaw are on a different level than than Harvey/DeGrom/Matz/Syndergaard. I feel like the Cubs could get to those guys, while I simply can't envision a scenario where they're putting up 4+ runs on Greinke or Kershaw.

    I noticed he had a new hat for the Pirate game. I didn't see any marks at all.
  14. Tryptamine
    Am I wrong or did the Blue Jays just completely torpedo any chance to resign David Price? They put him into a 7-1 game with game 5 imminent in two days. They clearly had no intentions of ever using him for game 5 instead preferring to go with Stroman. If I'm Price this is a huge slap in the face, because they obviously don't trust me with the game on the line.
  15. Tryptamine
    The Cubs are 7-0 against the Mets this season. I see no reason to be afraid.
  16. Tryptamine
    Brett Anderson started the game and got shelled.
  17. Tryptamine
    Bring on Wainwright. The Cubs have hit missiles of him in both his appearances. BABIP luck saved him in the first appearance.
  18. Tryptamine
    Thank you Castro, HUGE WIN

    and suddenly I'm exceedingly nervous.

    Baez is falling apart.
  22. Tryptamine
    Damn, Baez kind of soft tossed that one too.
  23. Tryptamine
    Let's make it nice and Stress free. Above all, keep the leadoff man off base.
  24. Tryptamine
    Dong da dong dong dong

    Yup, Rondon has his hands full. Getting Wong to start out the inning is going to be huge.
