    Yeah we will see how the rest of the season plays out. Barger/Loperfido/Jimenez/Wagner look like platoon guys at best entering next year. Perhaps one of them finishes the season strong and looks like a starter.

    Sounds ridiculous as it's probably true for most teams but he is exactly what we need. A corner OF/DH like him and all they would need to do otherwise is revamp the bullpen and the playoffs would be easy to make.

    It will be interesting to see what positions they target in FA. Some things are finally going right this season after the brutal start. -Horwitz looks worthy of a starting spot -Clement is looking like a solid option -Barger (been hitting well since he's been back), Loperfido, Wagner, and Leo Jimenez all look like they could contribute -Francis looks like he can hold down a rotation spot Seems like a month or two ago we needed 3 bats, an ace and 12 relievers to compete for a WC. Now it seems like we need 1 or 2 bats, a dependable starter and 12 relievers.

    This team looks incredible

    I didn't realize how many wrinkles there are to resuming this game. Jansen is an obvious one but there are a ton of them outside of him. This reddit thread does a good job explaining it all:

    If we sweep them today is the season officially back on?
  7. Terminator
    So Mattingly gets all the blame when we are hitting like crap and then when we see improvements he gets none of the credit?
  8. Terminator
    Mattingly strikes again

    Love the replays of Kirk running the bases lmao

    Yeah good points. I'm on the fence with him. The team is working with more info than we are so if they bring him back I will assume that they have a good reason to do so. It's dangerous to defer to the Atkins regime around these parts anymore but that's where I am at.

    Wow! Orgfiller from the top rope!

    I guess the nice thing about Swanson is that when you tender him @ 1 year, 4 mil you are also getting another year of control which is the equivalent of a team option for 6 mil. That's not bad for a reliever with his upside. But he's been so terrible this year it's tough to justify the 4 mil and he's now out of options.

    The Orioles just optioned Trevor Rogers to AAA
  14. Terminator
    Yeah 1 year and ~4M will get you an interesting bullpen arm in FA. Guys who signed for around that last year are: -Brent Suter -Adam Ottavino -Kirby Yates -Chris Stratton -Ryan Stanek -Andrew Chafin -Daniel Hudson It wouldn't be too egregious to bring Swanson back but the team would need to have some confidence that whatever happened this season is easily correctable in the offseason. Otherwise they could roll the dice on someone more likely to produce.

    His last game was with the Buffalo Bisons The prodigal son returning for one last dance against his former team would have been cooler than that

    Votto just retired We should have called him up for the Reds series to give him one last hurrah and a final sendoff I wonder if luxury tax considerations prevented that

    It's happening...2 games in a row of Vlad at 3B. What a roller coaster his career has been. We all dreamed of a hall of fame career at 3B and after a couple of mediocre years as a fat 1B, an MVP caliber season and a year that we thought he might actually be ass, it turns out he might get there after all.

    Mattingly is an old dog but he has learned some new tricks. Extend him.
  19. Terminator
    You wouldn't think he'd get that much more than Ohtani but due to his age I think you might be right.
  20. Terminator
    He should have just linked the Former Jays Thread and saved himself some time. The esteemed members of this board will no doubt give us daily updates on their success. Though if they struggle I suppose we don't get updates so maybe writing the article was necessary after all.

    Mattingly also seemingly fixed our RISP woes. Last year we hit worse with RISP. That carried into this year and I was assured that there was something wrong with our hitters and that it wasn't just statistical noise. But lo and behold, not only did Mattingly fix Vlad, he has this team hitting better with RISP on the year. This sad sack of a lineup has an 99 wRC+ overall but a 110 wRC+ with runners in scoring position.
  22. Terminator
    Extend Mattingly
  23. Terminator
    Lmao

    Ernie Clement is starting to get interesting and I wonder how he factors into the 2025 plans. Last year he figured out how to basically never strike out and everyone took notice. But what's kind of flying under the radar is that he also unlocked some power in AAA. It didn't show itself in his short big league audition but his .146 ISO this year shows that he's probably got a 40 grade power tool instead of a 30. That can play on the left side of the infield with a 55ish hit tool. Add in that his defense at 3B might be elite with some above average baserunning and he looks like he could be a starting-caliber 3B, even if his game is a little unconventional. I also think he could play SS and the small sample size metrics are good. But the team hasn't really played him there even when given the opportunity until recently. If he could handle SS then he'd be even better.

    They don't have to trade Bo. His value is in the toilet and if the team wants to contend, replacing his projections on just an 11.2M tax hit for 2025 is going to be tough to do. They could keep him and see where they are at at the trade deadline. If they are out of it, hopefully he's balling out in his walk year and they get more for him from some desperate contender than they would have in the offseason anyway. If they are in it, just take the surplus value he's providing in 2025 and the extra pick that comes with it. Definitely should explore trading him though. I think the dream scenario would be to sign Kim or Adames and trade Bo for something useful. That could really jumpstart our 2025 offseason if they could get a starting caliber player for Bo. Another option would be to sign Kim or Adames to play 3B and just let things play out with Bo and then slide Kim or Adames over to SS after the year.
