  1. I feel like the need for a right handed bench bat has been satisfied internally by Davis Schneider. He saw those comments and decided to be good again.
  2. Fangraphs article today on how MLB teams are prioritizing CF defense more than ever. CF hitting has gone down dramatically while CF defense has gone up at the same time. The main reason that trying to hit the ball up the middle is less effective than ever. And maybe part of why certain Blue Jays have struggled in certain years despite very decent line drive, up the middle approaches (Bo, Vlad, Kirk, Springer sometimes)
  3. Grisham was definitely picking up the signs while he was on second. Doing a super obvious hand wave on every slider.
  4. Red Sox, Cardinals, Padres might do some selling or at least buying and selling. All have playoff odds under 40%.
  5. welcome to the board!
  6. If you ignore ERA, Sandy Alcantara is not that different from the version of himself in 2023, or 2019. Such a weird evaluation. If they Fish hold him they risk a) another injury or b) he continues to suck and his value just goes to zero. Right now he has has a bit of value because the stuff still rates well and the DIPS are okay.
  7. They gobbled up Norby and Stowers last year who were similar guys. On the cusp but no room. And it worked with Stowers. So yeah maybe they think they are smart and can fix Orelvis.
  8. Will Robertson to CHW for cash. Pretty gross turn of events. Pushed off the roster for Burr who has his arm blow up immediately.
  9. Bryan Baker traded to TBR for the 37th overall pick (competitive balance picks can be traded). I will never understand the stupid rules around the draft. Competitive balance picks are dumb to begin with but why can they be traded and not other picks? In any event, this is good for Toronto because it gets the RP market moving and because Bryan Baker can be a gas can + everyone else in the AL East has already seen him a lot.
  10. I'm not super interested in him on that contract. It's just a total dice roll.
  11. The Guardians' playoff odds are below 10% now. They are cooked. I'd love to get Clase. Just pay up and get an elite RP. $6.4m in 2026 then two club options for $10m. He probably has $30m in surplus value on that contract and would actually be worth a Nimalla. At a minimum, Ross should grab a quality vet RP like Milner or Pagan. Jake Bird is a popular controllable option. Bednar has 2026 as his final arb year.
  12. Erik Bedard? His Stuff+ is way down recently. I heard he was throwing 76.
  13. it's over. should the Blue Jays sell at the deadline?
  14. 5 pitches by Leasure, five swings by Toronto not ideal
  15. Schultz, Burr, Yimi, Sandlin all going down in the last 12 days
  16. Did Ryan Burr's elbow just explode? Brutal for him. Ugh.
  17. I dunno, dickface. It's the Brewers. They traded their closer in a playoff race because of money. They do weird stuff all the time.
  18. Vlad vlad vlad. Classic vlad day. Horrible baserunning and pounding everything into the dirt.
