I want Kikuchi

I want Taillon, but A. Who the fuck knows what the Cubs are actually doing, and B. I figure his contract probably makes this not happen

 Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but I always liked his swing and look at the plate. Hope he gets plenty of at bats there to show if he has something. Best of luck to him

One mans trash is another mans treasure.  Dana views shitty relief pitchers with options as treasure.  so far like 1/10 with Taylor Scott, but what a nice 1 that's been.  

[Mitch Hedberg 2088]

Feede gone. The prospects are dwindling.

We aren’t gonna do shit are we. Or if we do it’s gonna be nothing that moves the needle.

Any SP moves the needle. Bloss/Arighetti starts gotta stop. Still plenty SPs available

[Wulaw Horn 18918]

My greatest hope is we miss out on all the arms that make sense and Crane has to sign off on Snell or nothing. That will be the best arm moved at the deadline- he won't cost much- but boy oh boy if he gets hurt you are completely boned.  

[kevwun 15302]

That's still better than hoping Spaghetti and Bloss each have 1 good start a month.

[runthebone 7894]

Today will be a good showcase.  Bloss + Whitley for Skenes

biggest move they’ll make ….

Astros acquire:

OF Kyle Tucker
RHP Luis Garcia
RHP Justin Verlander

[Mitch Hedberg 2088]

Justin Turner to Mariners

[TejasPedro 1848]

I keep reading Dana Brown was in talks with…. Is the MF just calling and hanging up and then giggling?

[Scraps 13485]

Justin Turner to Mariners

He sucks as well

Lulz if the Mariners think he is a fix to their offensive problems

[Mitch Hedberg 2088]

Kaleb Ort, 

Kaleb Ort…

Crown us. Well hell just go on and order the rings now!

Bagwell you arrogant ass, you’ve killed us.

I think he might actually be good. He’s interesting as an arm in the 6th or 7th slot in your bullpen pecking order.

Same with King, I like him getting an out.

Dude must be a psychic since initial lineups weren’t posted until over an hour after this tweet.

[runthebone 7894]

I would also have a mysterious ailment that miraculously improved once Skenes came out

Bloss just got scratched

Jake Bloss to the DL with neck discomfort. “It’s ok- probably being overly cautious about nothing,” Dana Brown says.

1 month later word slowly leaks out his right arm has been amputated. 
“He’s always been pretty ambidextrous,” Brown said. “We expect to see him back next July or August in time for the 2025 stretch run.”

Burt Steele says it’s Snell. Burt Steele is almost always wrong. 

[Scraps 13485]

Probably gave us a better shot at winning tonight sadly
