Why make a big deal out of it? The Astros didn’t have to say anything at all.
 

Clemens didn’t travel with the team for entire regular seasons and we loved/love him.

If you’re the Yankees , do you make a trade for him ?

 

current roster seems to be 100%

Benintendi and 9 other Royals can’t play in the upcoming series against the Jays. Would you still trade for him or any other non vaccinated player on the off chance that you would play Toronto in the playoffs?

Nope.

I’d walk yuli 3 times to pitch to JJ 

chas needs to show some trade value 

[TonyTexas 10,764]

No Trout in the Angels lineup tonight. The way he’s been swinging against Astros pitching lately, I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

He did K thrice against Javier on the 1st

That’s my point. He went 0-13 with 11 strikeouts in his last 4 games against us.

Per click

Astros have talked with 29 teams the past couple of days 

draft is clouding up things and hot streaks are complicating things. Then other teams think all they need is their own hot streak. Lot of talking

These reds are scrappy

Yeah I get it but don’t know that he K’ed three times against any other single pitcher that series 

 

edit: nope Urquidy was in long enough to face him 3 times and get his this 3 K’s too

I can see that. Those 2 extra wild card spots have probably limited definite sellers to about a dozen teams.

A couple interesting stats and Chandler being a bitch like usual. Also I don't feel like fact checking the second one from some random Twitter account.

Surly Astros thread - The Yankees should be looking for a replacement bat for judge !!!!!

It’s really why we should be sellers. Not for pieces for this team but for prospects. 
Odo, Chas, Maton. They could probably fetch 5 prospects that would be top 20 in our organization. If Lance is healthy and Brown gets his feet wet at the big league level successfully then Urquidy could be traded for 2 or 3 top 30 guys as well (in the off-season). With the draft and international signings we could add 10 guys to our top 30 if we traded those 4 guys, without opening up a single hole on our big league roster come playoff time. 
that’s if the trade market is as much of a sellers market as people are predicting. There’s real advantages to moving surplus guys when you have a 13 game lead at the all star break. We should explore that.

No doubt. But I don’t think the have any trade value I think they are dfa candidates

Clear out the deadwood for Whitley's innings!

Good walk 

[Gut Wagon 8,219]

Meanwhile, the Mariners keep chugging right along. Not worrisome with this big a lead, but let's not have a sloppy August and give them hope of taking the division. I'd far rather we spend September looking at some call-ups and resting our heavy artillery.

So much for that lol. Why is he in the 2 hole?

Why should anyone count on LMJ being healthy? He’s glass my dude.

Tied for a wc spot now

[runthebone 8,376]

What, are they going to win 30 in a row?

[Scraps 13,799]

Who cares....they can come get smacked around by daddy 7 times after the break regardless

He will have his chance to show it. Without Lance if Brown is good that’s still 5 solid pitchers even without Urquidy or Lance. 
but that’s why I said not until the off-season if things go well between here and there.
