Abomination

Remember that there's a decent chance next year may not happen, or at least most of it may not.

They're definitely moving someone, because Taillon isn't an inconsequential amount of salary to eat, especially when it's possible they could have gotten under the 2nd cap tier.

You're more likely to get one or two guys like a Yoho who was in the Bo Naylor trade. Relief prospects are probably where you're going to get bang for the buck.

They got Aidan Smith, Emilien Pitre, and Gary Gill Hill ... so no. Pitre is interesting although he's not considered a top prospect.

You could even make it a 300M cap, but don't count salaries under 2M towards it or something. That gives teams a little bit of flexibility in the event of injuries. A hard cap is fine if it's generous enough. The NBA and NHL caps are probably too low.

I doubt they'd do Alcantara, but that would at least be somewhat intriguing. Caple could also make some sense if we aren't eating any salary. I kind of feel like I'd rather just keep Hoffman though.

Why? They basically got 2 top prospects for an expiring contract. That's a great return for them.

Gausman for Teoscar would make some sense for both teams imo.

You could imagine a scenario where we're both buying and selling. We take on a contract another team isn't thrilled with but who projects well. Someone like Framber Valdez for example (Detroit would probably have to kick in a bit for next year). Teoscar from the Dodgers could be an excellent fit, maybe for Gausman. We get a right handed outfield(ish) power bat for next year that we desperately need and the Dodgers fortify their rotation for this year without spending prospect capital or taking a big salary cap hit.

This is just depressing.

Jordan Walker might be public enemy number 1 in Philly for the rest of his career.

He's been on an roll since the end of May. It's more the complete inability to hold a runner that's frustrating.

Maybe they should give teams more challenges against bad umps. It would probably lead to an umpire strike though.

That home run had a 44 degree launch angle!

Man, that ball was in the air forever!
