0% chance Atkins would give up Kloff in this deal

Unless the loose glove lace flicked Gurriel's arm?

Yep. The power is irrelevant, that K rate will absolutely never play at higher levels.

FFS If Font was a font, he would be comic sans.

Buck ripping into Montoyo for pulling Anderson early, and tbh it's hard to disagree. Anderson's best start of the year facing an absolute dogshit lineup. Let the man work.

This would have been a great spot for Vogelbach to PH

I was just staring at his ass, it didn't look that huge compared to his thicc upper half.

I would bet $1,000 that Vogelbach has a better body fat % than Guerrero. Vogelbach is fat but he's beefy too, that dude can probably press a ton and he looks like maybe a 34 waist, 36 tops. Guerrero has a fat girl ass.

It's been less of an ******* wasteland around here lately, mod game has been stepped up.

I sure as f*** hope we don't take our .390 OBP guy out of the leadoff spot. Biggio getting on base is probably the single biggest driver of the recent success.

Apparently Starling Marte is about to be traded to the Marlins and Dan on the broadcast insinuated that perhaps Marte is being flipped as part of a three-team deal... the subtext being that maybe the Jays are getting him as well.

Darvish/Blackmon/Jansen are sold but Aroldis Chapman, Brad Hand, and Gio Urshela are on the block. Looking to recharge for next season rather than deep rebuild.

Equal lottery for all non-playoff teams IMHFCSO.

I'm throwing in the towel on this season and looking to sell. Sending out some offers involving Darvish and/or Blackmon. Could move Chapman and Kenley as well. Get your offers in if you want to bolster your playoff push, as I do not hold drawn-out auctions.

By Ken Rosenthal 4h ago 51 The latest on the trade market, according to major-league sources: • Like most teams, the Yankees are reluctant to add payroll for 2020, complicating their pursuits of pitching upgrades and their interest in Diamondbacks center fielder Starling Marte. The last thing the Yankees should need is an outfielder, but injures to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton again have them in the market for one, as first reported by Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Marte will be owed about $1.75 million in prorated salary after Monday’s trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET, and his contract includes a $12.5 million club option or $1 million buyout in 2021. The Diamondbacks also are open to trading right-handed closer Archie Bradley, who like Marte is under club control for just one more season. The Astros have shown interest in Bradley and lefty Robbie Ray, believing they could fix Ray, who has walked 31 in 31 innings. • The idea of a trade between two division rivals contending with each other for a playoff berth might seem shocking. Most general managers, however, are more concerned about improving their own club than trading within their division, knowing the deal ultimately could haunt either side. The bigger issue for the White Sox and the Indians, as they discuss a trade that would send righty Mike Clevinger to Chicago, would be finding an appropriate match. The Indians’ biggest need, a power-hitting outfielder, is something the White Sox cannot offer. The Indians’ goal in the talks, first reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today, might be to add controllable pitching for Clevinger, who is eligible for free agency after 2022. The Indians then could make a separate deal for offense, or perhaps even a three-team blockbuster. Two of the Indians’ biggest trades in recent years — the Trevor Bauer-Yasiel Puig deal at the 2019 deadline and the Edwin Encarnación-Carlos Santana deal at the 2018 winter meetings — involved a third club. • The addition of Mitch Moreland seems to make sense for the Padres, except for one thing: Moreland, 34, figures to be used primarily as a designated hitter and since 2015 has only 85 plate appearances as a DH, none this season. Some batters find it difficult to adjust to the downtime designated hitters endure when they are not playing in the field. It’s possible Moreland’s arrival will lead to occasional breathers as a DH for Eric Hosmer, but the Padres are not about to displace Hosmer, their $144 million first baseman. • The Rays long have liked Mariners catcher Austin Nola, whose versatility, low salary and five-plus years of control would appear to make him the perfect Tampa Bay player. The Mariners are open to trading Nola, but it’s unclear whether discussions with the Rays have advanced. Nola, 30, played six positions as a rookie last season but mostly has caught this season. He entered Sunday batting .306 with five homers and a .903 OPS. The Rays began the day ranked 22nd in the majors with a .580 OPS from the catcher position. • The Blue Jays are looking at middle infielders, figuring the best-case scenario is that shortstop Bo Bichette will not return from a sprained ligament in his right knee for another two weeks. Andrelton Simmons, a potential free agent, is an obvious solution, but to make a trade work, the Angels likely would need to pay down some of the approximately $2.3 million he is owed for the rest of the season. Another potential option: The Brewers’ Orlando Arcia, who will be owed less than $350,000 and could be non-tendered at the end of the season. Without Arcia, the Brewers could go with Keston Hiura at second, Luis Urías at short and a Jedd Gyorko-Eric Sogard platoon at third. • The Red Sox are doing background on Mets minor leaguers, an indication that the Mets might be interested in catcher Christian Vázquez. The Mets’ catching is a bit of a mess. Wilson Ramos entered Sunday with a .638 OPS, and René Rivera and Tomás Nido are on the injured list. • The Tigers are drawing interest in catcher Austin Romine, but the return would need to exceed his value in helping develop young pitchers such as Casey Mize and Tarik Skrubal in the final month. Romine, 31, was removed from the starting lineup Sunday because of right knee soreness, an issue that might end any chance of a trade. He is under contract only for the rest of this season. • And finally, the loaded Dodgers are attempting to zig while others zag, working on smaller deals in which they would part with some of their depth for prospects.

Are we talking MLB Top 30 or Jays Top 30? Anybody outside the Jays top 5ish prospects should absolutely be on the table as a trade chip lol.

Jonathan Schoop could be a nice, probably very cheap rental. He's quietly become a good hitter again with passable defence. 3B is a tirefire for the Jays right now so I wouldn't be opposed to just rotating Biggio/Vlad/maybe Schoop at 3B and taking the offensive upgrade on Shaw. Shaw is poop. Schoop is probably not much more than a PTBNL.

I can't believe I actually like Teoscar Hernandez now.

Ahh okay, guess my cable provider has an outdated guide because of the postponements.

What channel is the game on?

This guy did a f***ing 8 ball before the game

Mannnn he really went from insanely good to useless overnight. f***ing pitchers are the worst.

Wait a second, isn't Dellin Betances and older low-upside reliever?

With a healthy Bichette/Pearson/Giles/Romano you could squint and see this team making a little run in the playoffs.

I can’t see Atkins giving up a better centrepiece than Moreno or maybe Kloff for 1.5 seasons of Lynn. This season is such a crapshoot, it wouldn’t make any sense to give up SWR or Groshans.
