    Don’t worry Spanky, you didn’t type all that for nothing. At least 4 people read parts of it.

    With Bauer wanting to go every 4th day and the team not giving a f*** about his arm, you probably get 3 Bauer starts and 2 Ryu starts in a 7-game series if you get there. That makes Toronto a dangerous opponent for anyone.

    I see the playoffs as being mostly a crapshoot. The biggest reason why you wouldn’t want to move prospects for immediate help before you’re ready is that a 162-game season does a pretty good job keeping bad or mediocre teams out of the playoffs entirely. That barrier is gone this year, and MLB is the NHL (hopefully only temporarily). If I’m Atkins and have basically been gifted a playoff spot, and have a chance to land a CY contender for Kloffenstein, I pull the trigger every time. Opportunities to roll the dice in the playoffs with two of the 10-15 best starters in the game and a talented, high-variance lineup don’t grow on trees.

    Rob Manfred is a f***ing idiot.

    They wouldn't be paying for the 6 regular season starts so much as they would be paying to have a legit ace in the ~70% likelihood that they make the playoffs. Ryu and Bauer starting 2 of 3 WC games and then 3 of 5 division series games makes the Jays competitive in the playoffs. I don't see Kloffenstein as the kind of prospect you balk at moving when the team is running very high playoff odds with a few weeks left and has Ryu healthy and throwing well.

    We had one for years. It descended into vitriolic flamewars and personal feuds that spilled over into every other thread and almost ruined the forum.

    I don’t want to intervene, because the conversation has been respectful and mostly related to the MLB/NBA protests, but this isn’t the place to discuss the shooting.

    This is probably too political, but the entire world has been talking about racial issues since George Floyd was killed. We’ve been moving in the direction of racial equality for many decades, and if anything is going to expedite that movement it’s the giant protests that have been all over the news for months. It’s very hard for me to accept that postponing a ball game today and instead playing a doubleheader tomorrow is going to result in meaningful change.

    Normally I'm against giving up good prospects for rentals. But, this has been an average team this year that is almost certain to go to the playoffs. The most likely outcome is that they make the playoffs in 2020 and don't make the playoffs in 2021 when things go back to normal. It's very, very tempting to go pair Bauer with Ryu and go in guns blazing with maybe the best 1-2 starting pitching punch in baseball. I think I'd give up Kloffenstein for Bauer.

    Mazza vs. Ryu. Toronto/MLB should kindly tell the Red Sox to go f*** themselves.

    Spanky has his claim in already I’m sure
  13. BTS
    He means that the Reds can offer Bauer the QO, and that the comp might be compelling if teams shy away from big rentals due to the expanded playoff field and corresponding reduced championship odds for top teams.

    Clevinger makes me nervous. To whatever extent he was getting by earlier this season, he was relying extensively on his off-speed stuff. His fastball was not effective, at all. It was a stark contrast to last season when his fastball was Hader-like, in that he used it a ton and generated tons of swinging strikes. He didn't look right at all in the starts he made this season. I'd be afraid of paying an ace price for a guy who isn't going to to come in and provide ace production this year. I also have no idea what I'm talking about, so there's that.

    I kind of get it. Crosby is not getting traded, and Malkin is probably also a Penguins lifer, so they're going to run the ship into the ground until those two are finished. It's the NHL, so he might get lucky and win another Cup with a mediocre team.

    I don't think anyone is unhappy. It's just a weird fit. Him and Tellez have exactly the same skill set. Maybe they see Vogelbach as a slight upgrade on Rowdy and are going to option Tellez?
  19. BTS
    I don't really see how/why the team would want to carry him and Tellez.

    Your IL would make for a pretty good dynasty core.

    Yeah, I saw the proposal and that it was declined. Never happened before.
  24. BTS
    Did anyone else get an e-mail detailing a trade proposal between Laika snd SG?

    This has become one of my favourite low-key forum memes.
