I'm sure if the Cubs like him, they won't mind spending this type of money, even if it's an overpay. It's a chance to acquire oversloted draft talent like you used to be able to two CBAs ago: [tweet]https://twitter.com/hudsonbelinsky/status/887028446244818946[/tweet] Giants win bidding. FYI, he chose to go to Texas A&M after verbally agreeing with the Giants. Very weird situation.

110 win pace over 162 games. That's what the Dodgers project to win. I'll take it.

They may never win again Lol. Lost 7 of their last 8. I wish I could eat Dodgers Twitter right now. So scrumptious.

Scherzer got hit by a line drive from Travis Shaw and limped off a few innings later when trying to run the bases. Matt Harvey got rocked in his first start since June. Threw 70 pitches in 2 innings and gave up 7 runs.

That's a shame. That one appearance aside, I think he is more likely to have a better big league career than Pierce Johnson.

To be fair, his bullpen gave up 9 runs in 3.2 innings.

This really is annoying. Verlander was the perfect good pitcher target this offseason. Now we're stuck hoping they can somehow get lucky getting Otani for $300,000/year because I really have no interest in having Arrieta or Darvish until 2023.

The Rockies are only 1.5 up on the Brewers for WC2.

.674 winning % in the second half.

14 over .500.

Because he's a switch hitter and they hadn't pulled Foltynewicz yet? I know why you PH Lackey there. Just got to hope the pen holds up.

Even for Derwood, this is embarrassing.

Lol. Nice defense, Kemp.

Good call on Maples. He needs to be added to the 40-man, my guess is Frankoff is designated. Freeman would have to be added, too- I don't know what move would be made there. Total call-ups, including players coming off the DL: Lester Grimm Zastrysny Caratini Zagunis Maples Then, when ready, Contreras and Russell... If Butler is close to ready, he could be added, too. Rosario would be the most likely to come off the 40-man, imo.

[tweet] [/tweet] The Dodgers recently sent a whole bunch of folks to see him including Friedman. They're limited to $300k, just like the Cubs.

Would love to get him as Russell insurance.

They're saving the 20-run game for the playoffs.

It'd be nice if Wilson's little streak of success means he's back to his Tigers ways.
