Nobody wanted Marcell Ozuna?

The Braves would have taken a half dozen of week old donuts for him...

Could have thrown in Iglesias for the other half...

Obviously not. Braves think they are still in it. Value their guys way too highly

Red Sox hoarding prospects when they have a really good club. Essentially did nothing

Padres continue to be in the most prospects don’t pan out anyways let’s deal with proven now have arguably the best lineup in the NL with a top pitching staff and hands down best bullpen in baseball. A+

Well, I had the Twins closer (Jax) for a few hours till he got traded. 

[cmh6476 1,031]

11% of the royals remaining games are with the twins

Can you take coolers of beer into Bristol tomorrow night?

I really wanted the Brewers to acquire more power/hitting on the left side of the infield. As deep as the farm system - I'm surprised how little they did.  Picking up two better relievers though, along with our starting pitching is good, but every year we get knocked out of the playoffs it's been generally an issue of run production.    

[posty 2,714]

Trading deadlines aren't fun, when the team you root for doesn't do much, if anything...

AA hasn't been right, IMO, since the season ended last year...  Signing players to minor league contracts and then throwing money at Profar after doing his Jeff Blauser impression last year...

Of course all the injuries don't help, but who knows if even a healthy Braves team would have made noise...

[Hardcore troubadour 15,510]

So the Yankees are going to have their starters go four innings I guess.

John Henry gave up on going all out to win after 2018. Doesn’t want to pay luxury tax. Will never change until the team is sold

[cmh6476 1,031]

Do the geeks have enough access to capital to develop a group to put a bid in for the twins?

Really hate Henry. He makes Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs look competent

Apparently clase and Luis ortiz's lockers have been cleaned out and there is speculation their careers are over. 

[cmh6476 1,031]

I like the royals moves... namely extending lugo when the market for starting pitching wasn't that great and what seems to be a reasonable contract. 

Then you only gave up Freddie Fermin and a couple minor leagues who weren't top prospects for some players with years of team control and improved depth in the rotation and the floor of the outfield.   Really a nice job of improving in the short term for a chance to make a wild card run, while smartly investing in the future. 

I also think the royals really have to get these moves right in the moment because they want taxpayers to partially fund a billion dollar new stadium and entertainment district. 

[cmh6476 1,031]

I also hope the best for Fermin, as he's a hard guy not to like.   They just interviewed salvy pre-game and you can tell he we was sad his friend was moving on

[cmh6476 1,031]

Yastrzemski's first royal AB is a homer

Wilmer Flores has more games played as a SF Giant then he had with the NY Mets

The NY Mets haven’t won a World Series since 1986. They only have won two. The Florida Marlins also have two.

Thanks for the history lesson.

Just stoking the embers of a once hot rivalry. Let’s face it, NY sports kinda suck now. Underachievers and bad teams abound. But I think the Giants may have turned the corner.
