Considering the bottom of the barrel they are currently trotting out there. I would take a flier on him regardless. Give him in MLB deal. Get that arm in the organization. Atleast he would be someone with the potential to miss bats

 

His foot thing must be bad enough that no team wants to take that chance yet. Hard to think a guy who was throwing 96 wouldn’t have signed yet if was wasn’t injured. Even a minor league deal would have materialized by now

[John_Havok]

Oh god they’re running the corpse of Pujols out there for the Hr derby? Gross.

Schneider should move Stripling to the bullpen to cover the last two games before the ASG. Right now their long man is Trevor Richards.

I’m sure this is definitely an option especially with the bullpen day tomorrow. Hopefully Berrios will be very good Sunday though.

We're getting two lefties in a row; god can we please get our righty murder row rolling against them.

Seriously, these reverse splits suck. Everyone says we need a lefty bat but actually we need more righties lol

[JFD]

Tapia now has more doubles than Vladdy

Rocket Raimel will not be denied

Or a Lefty that mashes Lefty to really f*** with people.

Don't know about you guys but watching Vlad this season, and especially the last couple games, is so disappointing.

 

You see the bat speed. But the pitch selection, the chase, the missing of cookies & being late on fastballs. So many swings that look so off balance. Flailing. When he comes up I have little faith he is going to deliver. He got a hit last night and has a 126 wRC+ but he rarely BBs lately. The Savante page still looks pretty good.

 

How the hell are we going to get him going? We need an elite, not just well above average, Vlad in the 2nd half.

Get him out of the 2 hole, and move him to 5. He can’t handle pressure but Teo can. And no he doesn’t merit a massive extension of any kind unless it’s very team friendly.

[Laika]

Extend Vlad for over a decade

 

That will give him the confidence to finally be elite

[Terminator]

Tapia now has more doubles than Vladdy

 

Extend Tilapia.

 

10 years 1 million each year to lock him up through his age 38 season where he’ll slash .260/.250/.260.

Foster is 1st rounder in 2014.

[RustyTrombone]

Happy to see Beasley back over Romo. Beasleys results have been s*** but his underlying numbers are great as is his stuff. Give him enough innings and his results should start to get (much) better.

Yeah Beasley is one of those guys that if Toronto lets him get away for nothing he's probably a 3 ERA setup man I'm Baltimore lol

[L54]

Espinal is an all star

 

[Jays24]

Espinal is an all star

 

 

Whoever predicted this would happen, give me tonight's lottery numbers lol

[Solaxys]

Altuve got hurt, so this is a move for that I presume

[Jays24]

Really surprised we DFA'd Romo already... I was sure he was going to cost us many more games before being cut lol

[RustyTrombone]

Yea for sure, I mean a team like the Yankees/Rays/Dodgers probably squeezes out like 4 WAR from him over the next 3 years. Good to see us keep him even though his results have been dog s***.

Report: Nats will entertain Soto trade offers after $440M offer rejected

Who the hell has the balls to reject 440M even if there's a few extra years on the contract. How do you trade for Soto knowing that lol.

Maybe he just doesn’t want to be in Washington anymore? Maybe prefers to sign to a perennial contender like the Yanks/Dodgers

[Jonn]

Espinal is an all star

 

 

They really let the fan vote determine the replacement lol. No shot he was the next best option. I like Espinal but All-Star game….

[John_Havok]

Espinal is the perfect guy to be hitting 8th or 9th. Generally has good PAs, sees a lot of pitches, makes the pitcher work and makes contact. Not a real power threat despite his offseason muscle gain. Legit plus D. He's turned himself into a viable MLB starter and, in the Jays favour, the kind of guy who will provide 3-4 WAR over a full season, but get paid like a scrub in arbitration since most of his value is tied to defense.

 

But in no way should he be an All Star this season. Just... no.

stop bitching the all star game is a joke anyway, same with most of the major awards.

I'm very glad the clip stopped before the orgy.
