    But he towers over 4’3” Andrew Vaughn!

    Well we just won 6 games in a row. Time for Breslow’s Traditional Celebratory Diva Trade…

    Because he’s just stubborn…

    Duran needs to work on that…

    Closers could be part of an interesting trade deadline. The Yankees, Phillies, Tigers and Cubs all need closers. Candidates include Clase (reportedly), Bednar, Jansen, Finnegan, and Bautista, and possibly Estevez and Iglesias Tjese same four teams might also be clamoring for 3b help. Assuming Philly is still frustrated with Bohm…

    I don’t mind not fixing the outfield logjam. I would have been more upset if they cleared a path for Anthony and he struggled. They can still clear the logjam up; they would find it harder to undo a trade if things didn’t work out…

    Rusney, Luis or Kate del Castillo?

    I believe it was from the Rangers. The rumor was they were willing to take the entirety of the contract, but not give back anything of value in return. I heard no names on the player(s) coming back. Presumably some Stan Papi types…

    The only way demoting Mayer to keep Hamilton makes sense is if the (short term?) plan is Romy full time at 2b while hes hot. Of course backfilling his role at 1b would need to happen first…

    St. Louis is 1.5 games out of the third wild card. Unless the next 3 weeks are rough for them, they might not be selling…

    Demoting Mayer and keeping Hamilton in MLB is just pointless. Especially since Hamilton has an option…

    The full throttle thing was stupid and the subsequent explanation was insulting and blatantly false. But clearly the Sale trade was intended to be more than just a salary dump. They had at least one offer that saved more money and they did try to get an actual player to fulfill a position of need. Right?

    But would a Ryan-less Twins team want Duran? They have outfielders with higher bWAR in LF (Bader) and CF (Buxton) already. Granted, Bader is only 0.1 better, but that still makes Duran an odd choice for an improvement. Catcher, 1b and RF look like bigger needs. SS, too, but they have plenty of cash tied up there. And no, they don’t want Casas. Not for Ryan, anyway…

    Brock proposed Duran as the centerpiece of a Ryan trade. But if the Twins are trading Ryan, does he really make sense for them? A third team (Philadelphia?) does change everything. I still doubt Mullins is the final piece here…

    Unlikely maybe. But if 84 win AZ can sneak into the World Series with Zac Gallen, Merril Kelly, Brandon Pfaadt and no one else, anything is possible. It’s all about getting hot at the right time…

    Nate Eaton got demoted. But doesn’t someone need to be DFAd or moved to the 60 day IL to get Yoshida on the 40 man roster in the first place?

    Lowe (98) and Steer (92) both have OPS+ below league average. Naylor (128) is much better in this regard. If you value StatCast, none of these three are particularly impressive. Rhys Hoskins would be better than all of them. 4’4” Andrew Vaughn even more so, but he is not likely to be available anymore…

    The list is growing. From 2004-2022, the list was : 1. Ryan Zimmerman But the list from 2004-2024 has now grown to: 1. Ryan Zimmerman 2. Nolan Schanuel Its seriously rare air…

    I think the Angels might be a bit hesitant to trade Schanuel, who is on the extremely short list of position players to make their MLB debut the same calendar year in which they were drafted. They clearly liked that college product a lot…

    So how many are glad this thread turned out to be incorrect and Romy Gonzalez (.955 OPS) has NOT turn into Mark Vientos (.623 OPS)?

    Suarez might also be a bit too popular as a target this month. The Yankees and Cubs, for example, are likely to be interested. Josh Naylor strikes me as the best rental target.. Rhys Hoskins felt like the most likely., but he is currently out with a sprained thumb. Josh Bell is probably not worth acquiring. If the Rays make Yandy Diaz available, he has potential, but their plans are always difficult to determine beforehand. Not sure who else is available…

    Doubtful the Sox get anywhere near a #2 starter at the deadline. If the plan is to to hope Toro can continue to produce and stay .070 above his career BABIP in hopes that a #2 starter is the alternative, maybe the better plan is to sell Toro while his value is still clearly so high…(Hint: his value isnt high)

    Jim Bowden should be in the loop and has a history that strongly suggests he is in the loop. But I am not so sure he still is. He seems to have settled comfortably into his fantasy sports stuff…

    Toro went 6 for 39 from June 13 through June 27th with a .375 OPS in that stretch. That slump impacted his numbers…
