[DeadsetAce]

Ken Griffey, Jr. sends a message to voters. Edgar Martinez deserves to be in the HOF

Altuve gonna mess around and win the MVP

Harper's swing is uglier than Shawn Marion's jumper right now. Been hitting nothing but weak grounders/pop ups all Summer. Not sure if he's ever going to "lock in".

Weak homestand.

The Nats are doomed If Papelbon is closing games in October.

I'll be in Cleveland for the game Tuesday.

#Astros announce Alex Bregman will be selected to the Major League roster. He will join the club Monday.

Weak homestand.

I'd like to know, to a man, who on the Nats roster actually is bros with Papelbon. Aside from being a garbage closer, he's a jackass.

I'll be in Cleveland for the game Tuesday.

JRS traded him to me in Fantasy and I traded him after that and don't regret it as of now. Dude hasn't done much of anything since April.

Didi is the SS for the forseeable future.

At this point we need to just acquire as much talent as possible. Maybe teach him & Mateo to play 3B/OF

Torres for a 2 month rental doesn't sound like Theo. I'm guessing he's more of a starter under 2-3 years control piece.

Maybe I'm wrong, just doesn't sound feasible 19 year old for 2 months of Chapman.

 

[CP1708]

Seein rumors that Torres for Chap is in play, but extension for Chap is the sticking point.

See that makes more sense. Does Theo have the $ to extend him right now?

Chatter all over was that the Yanks should trade him, and then re-sign him in the offseason. But that's only in an ideal world, and while it's cute to have a 3-headed end of the bullpen, I rather see money spent elsewhere.

 

[CP1708]

If Theo is gonna pay Torres as the cost, he has to extend Chap. Can't pay that cost for 2 months.

4/60-4/65 is ranges I've seen. No idea how close that might be.

Sources: Aroldis Chapman to Cubs looking likelier. Multiple pieces from Cubs, including Gleyber Torres, are agreed upon. Still not done.

I like it.

 

[nick.]

Source confirms Soler in the mix to NYY.

 

[CP1708]

That means SP coming back to us, or Beltran.....
