Bobby Miller and a first for deGrom is a good offer Spanky. What price would you have been willing to accept?

 

That's just it, I didn't want to trade him, why would I??? He's the type of pitcher you look to acquire trying to win. The offer was light, you'd trade a healthy deGrom for Miller and a 1st?

Hearing possibility of games being cancelled here because of the smoke, what is the situation, is it going to clear up there anytime soon?

Yup, after the balancing of the schedule the next clear improvement should be a divisional realignment.

 

Go back to 4 divisions, AL/NL East/West.

 

Probably won’t happen until we get 2 more expansion teams though to balance the numbers.

 

Top 3 from each division make the playoffs, top 4 all get a bye. Its not perfect but its way better than multiple 90+ win teams missing the playoffs in favor of the Guardians with 88 wins

 

I think Manfred already said that once they add 2 expansion teams that it will be 4 divisions of 4 in each league, so they won’t go back to 2 divisions even with an even number of teams. Hopefully in that scenario if MLB suggests that the Jays go into a division with Central teams in it that Shapiro won’t pull a Beeston and demand to be in the Yankees/Red Sox/Orioles division instead.

 

Otherwise I agree. The Central teams making it while quality teams have to miss out (possibly the Jays) would be a joke.

4 divisions is even worse. 2 divisions in each league would be preferrable to 4.

Games getting canceled now in NY, Jays should be safe with the dome but they’re saying it’ll be closed roof today

Yeah more divisions sounds awful. If the ALE got reduced to 4 it would probably be Tampa moving, making us stuck with Yankees/Redsox/Os

That's at least a little better as the Rays have historically been a real thorn in the Jays side.

Well for the Bronx, their air quality index is into the Hazardous range, so they're cancelled for the night for sure.

I thought Campbell said 468, during the game.

 

He said nearly 460 feet. 114.8 mph off the bat. Destroyed that pitch

 

“That ball had a family!!”

Why or why not wasn’t the question it was whether or not connor gave you a fair offer, which he did

Nah. It'd have to be a lot more than that for me to move him at the time.
