Cashman is literally losing sleep over not getting Grichuk. That was long his #1 rumored deadline target because he’s a fucking dumbass.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,980]

Hot take.

Dodgers are taking a hard look at Verlander according to MLB.com

[Helobious 9,452]

Makes me so happy to see Aaron Hicks is terrible again.

I'm a huge Dominic Canzone fan.  He sucks, but I love hearing Steve Berthooooome say his name.  

I really think the Snakes should have been trading for a 3B.

Canha to MIL

Lol ok....

AJ Pollock going to SF

This is a good move.  It would be tough to measure the size of the hole the Cubs were dealing with at 3B.

This is my favorite one today, not often you can acquire a 53 OPS+. He’s just lucky Kolten Wong’s 34 was around to distract people.

Bo Bichette injured right knee rounding 1B … removed from the game.

Damn. Even Cody Ross in 2010 was .721 in 120 games with the Marlins.

The Dodgers grabbed a guy with a 6.5 ERA.  When your rival makes a move, you have to counter!

 

Also, I would bet money that I could an article within 2 minutes that calls Pollock a "proven veteran."  Maybe even a "professional hitter."

MLBTR: 

Quote

Pollock had mashed left-handed pitching as recently as a season ago. He provides an outfield rotation option and experienced clubhouse presence alongside the presumptive starting group of Michael Conforto, Luis Matos, and Austin Slater, at least while Yastrzemski gets healthy.

Whoops I read that post wrong. OPS+ for Ross was 91.

If the Mets want a decent return, they'll need to eat some of that money.

[Gil Bang 25,957]

Braves CF just robbed Shohei of a 3 run homer. Beautiful defensive play.

Probably a deal breaker for Cohen then

My first thought when it happened was ACL.  Hope I'm wrong.

WTF?

Look on the bright side, Helobious -- at least the Astros won't end the Yankees' season this October.....

Triston McKenzie … 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,980]

Josh Bell to Mia. Former Cle 1Bs sure do bounce around. 

[Helobious 9,452]

Today I learned that the only thing the Yankees were missing to win a World Series was a middle reliever named Keynan Middleton.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,980]

And Spencer Howard. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,980]

Bryce doubles in top 9 to tie it at 1. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,980]

Ha, then Castellanos immediately goes yack to ruin Mia’s day. 

[Shoxthemonkey 1,981]

The Royals beat the Mets on a bases loaded walk off balk in the 10th. Really odd ending.

Mets 2023, it’s FAN-tastic. 

[Beau Vine 54,226]

Pitcher had just been called up from AAA, and he balked before throwing a pitch.  

Ouch.

That hurts.

[WBT 20,568]

He needs to never throw a pitch now to become a cool footnote
