rumor ::: Ryan Tepera for Taylor Jones and Robel Garcia 

 

unpopular opinion,  im high on jones as prospect but not sure if he has a slot here

I guess the White Sox don't need him today after trading for him, check notes, yesterday.

He was traded to the White Sox yesterday. Are you saying they are flipping him after getting Kimbrel?

[tx 3 putt 76312]

i saw a day old rumor, he's gone to the white sox

Go get Buxton

[Storm the Field 5271]

Rangers just gave away their only 2 decent pitchers. We better go 7-0 with a +50 run differential in our remaining matchups this season.

So you think we're gonna rest a bunch of guys in those series?  Yeah, that makes sense.

unpopular opinion - im pretty good with straw / chaz combo in the 8/9 hole. i don't think we need another OF 

I'm not, but i have given up on anything happening regarding CF

[kevwun 15611]

I told my friend last weekend that Straw is going to be in cf for the next 10 years.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Are there any relievers left we could add that would move the needle? I mean ours blow so anything might move the needle.

to make a deep playoff run, you need ~5 good bullpen pieces. 

right now we have pressly, graveman, and javier.  find 2 more from the pool of garcia x2, stanek, taylor, and anyone coming off the il.  figure our rotation is greinke, lmj, framber, urquidy.  odorizzi doesn't even need to be on the postseason roster.

i would love to add a lefty but i think we're good where we stand now.

abreu makes the playoff roster, imo 

can baez show anything the next two months ?

[TonyTexas 10481]

Wow  Has to be another deal behind this for a centerfielder

We traded Straw lmao

for Phil Maton 

[tx 3 putt 76312]

 

[Gourmand 7774]

Wow

 

 

career 4.74 era hmmmm, there has to be a corresponding trade here 

Edited July 30, 2021 by tx 3 putt

[henrygandorf 29174]

there must be a corresponding move, otherwise it's chassy-fizz or bust.

which is horrifying.

[Storm the Field 5271]

That doesn't make a lot of sense unless something else is in the works.

[kevwun 15611]

Yeah because Maton has a 1.35 whip this season.

jake meyers is leaving sugar land

high strikeout guy with a low fip.  really good k/bb last year, decent this season.  no more walks pls.

[Scraps 13539]

Fuck It just get Story to play CF like that report I posted earlier in the week.

I was just about to ask if this means Meyers finally gets the call. OPS over 1.000 for Sugar Land this season.

[HtownHorn 14468]

Well, at least you yahoos can bring back the Jake from Rake Farm jokes.

They're not going to swap their first-half starting CF for a guy who could have been their starter all along for Phil Maton.

Has to be something else cooking.

Edited July 30, 2021 by Gourmand

[Scraps 13539]

It has to be Buxton, Story or Bryant

we should just trade for marisnick at this point.

Not Bryant (SF)

You take out his horrible May and he's at 28 G's 2.87 ERA, 3.25 FIP, 10 ER, 31.1 IP 0.9 HR/9, 3.7 BB/9, 12.1 K/9

[Storm the Field 5271]

Apparently Cleveland sending a low minors catching prospect with a solid bat along with Maton.

Hey click if you don’t make a move in 3 minutes

 

[Gourmand 7774]

I fuckin love Meyers' potential but he's too inexperienced to just throw out there for the second half of the season and playoff push. 

Buxton szn please. Get it done Click!

this isn't a playoff push, this is a world series run or bust 

the padres, yankees, a's, mariners, tampa are in a playoff push
