The Chicago Cubs are acquiring right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, sources tell ESPN. Brasier, 37, was DFA'd last week but should get leverage innings for Chicago.

I know I probably said it upthread, but the Rockies are gonna suck ass again. I hate this franchise so much. 

It is so depressing.  They have no idea what makes players good.  They thought Nolan Jones was going to be a star after his rookie year even though he had the worst chase rate and the highest BABIP in MLB.  Then they were just baffled that he sucked last season.   Now they think Tovar is their next star even though he has a .290 OBP and 50 BB and 375 Ks in his career.  And they keep promoting dudes through the front office, while hanging onto Bud Black for no apparent reason.  Adding Charlie Blackmon to the front office will hurt more than help if they're employing him to do anything more than shake hands. 

And nevertheless, I just bought a partial season ticket package, because hanging out in the upper deck of Coors Field watching the sunset and drinking beer on a warm summer evening is one of the best things I know.

Heyman:

Breaking: Pete Alonso is returning to the Mets. $54M, 2 years, $10M signing bonus

deal has an opt out after the first year. $30M in year one, $24M in year two

 

Along the way, Alonso reportedly rejected a seven-year, $158 million extension offer to remain in Flushing long-term. Instead, he held out for free agency, which didn't prove as lucrative as he had hoped.

The $30M in year one and $24M in year two are more than the $22.5M annual that gives. Just try not to get hurt or start sucking, Peter.
