Peter Abraham suggests trading for David Robertson and doing it now! Robertson may not be the best choice, but he wouldn't be a bad one. As always the question is what we'd have to give up.
-
You know neither is happening. It's the freakin' bullpen that needs to be addressed. -
That's a little too much work for me, but you can pretty well figure it out by the way Cora uses them, or doesn't use them.
-
I think Robles or Danish is more likely to depart than Diekman.
-
I think Robles will go but Brasier will stay.
-
Good point.
-
That's minutiae that even I cannot get motivated to delve into. My question is, what is the actual difference between cash and cash considerations...
-
I do think he has a pretty cool name.
-
Silvino, we hardly knew ye!
-
He probably should.
-
One thing I think has become obvious is that we need another effective RH reliever more than another effective LH reliever. Especially vs. the Yankees and Jays.
-
I'm starting to lean to the speculation that Whitlock will go back to the pen for the rest of the year. It might not be the ideal thing for the long term, but it looks like it is for 2022. It would give Cora 3 legit RH late inning guys. A lot depends on Sale, and Eovaldi's health status.
-
Now that's funny.
-
The Jays' Matt Chapman's play at third base is a thing of beauty. Amazing fielder.
-
They got the 2 prospects and I'm sure they were hoping for better than a .555 OPS. I see no reason they would feel committed to bringing him back for 2023. As I said if they exercise the buyout it doesn't affect this year's tax number. And obviously it would wipe him completely off the payroll slate for 2023. I'm disappointed, I was hoping for some bounce-back, but hope is running out.
-
If things continue like this, I think they might just eat the $8 mill, which is already factored into the tax numbers.
-
I guess it depends on what you call a pushover. To me a team that's won 46% of their games would not fall in that category.
-
I think Henry VIII had them.
-
I think a .600 OPS is the new Mendoza line. JBJ is at .555.

Yeah, that was interesting. -
That didn't affect his AAV for tax purposes though, just the cash part.

I've read several possible explanations. 1) It's much harder than it looks to go the other way, especially with so many pitchers throwing in the high 90's. 2) Hitters are afraid of messing up their swings. 3) Instead of going the other way hitters are going with launch angle, which has led to more homers and more K's. -
OK, you're being fair then. If the season ended today, I'd rate the Red Sox chances of beating the Jays at 35-40%. But needless to say I'm hoping things look differently by the actual playoffs.
-
How do you rate the Yankees' chances of winning it all this year?
