  1. It sounds crazy given where each of them were at in April, but with each passing week Scherzer and Lauer continue to solidify themselves as possible playoff starters. A lot of you have been out on the Sandy's, Gallen's, Keller's for a while but I think I'm there as well as they aren't big enough improvements over the guys we have. We really need Joe Ryan or Gore or someone like that who can be the playoff ace for us.
  2. I have a strong feeling that it will be someone no one is talking about as well and I expect them to be aggressive and bold. Not entirely sure if they will do rentals or long term control.
  3. Dan Szymbborski came up with some mock trades in his latest Fangraphs article and here's the one he came up with for the Jays.
  4. I think he'll be okay. He played a couple more innings after the incident. Not sure if he's in the dugout during the game but he was in the clubhouse before the game.
  5. Soroka wouldn't be bad. Could use him as a bulk guy in the playoffs.
  6. That's too bad, Ali Sanchez sucks. Not a bad opportunity to get Kirk some rest though anyway. Wasn't going to play today and with the DH and offday coming up he'll only miss 3 or 4 games. I think Ross (when are we going to extend this guy btw??) mentioned that he wanted a 3rd Catcher. We should move a Buffalo Boy for one with options.
  7. Thank you for making a point to disagree with me only to then agree with me all the same
  8. Yankees continue dumpster diving lmao
  9. The calculus is changing in terms of what we should be trading for because the division is damn near locked up and the playoffs are almost guaranteed. We need a frontline playoff starter and late inning relievers. Any bat would have to be some sort of bench upgrade or a legit star. So Keller is out and Sandy might be too unless they are very confident that they could make a tweak to get him back to an ace. Rentals like Cease could be in.
  10. Spanky and I should never have to pay for a meal at Swiss Chalet again with all the apologies in the forms of gift cards we have coming our way
  11. The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays when they fall behind 1-0
  12. Jays have won 20 out of their last 25 games
  13. I bet the Tigers thought they had a chance when they were ahead 1-0 lmao
  14. Ownership simply doesn't give a s***. Denver is a transplant town and they have a great ballpark downtown. Between the transplants, the visiting fans (the Rockies actually advertise to other MLB fanbases), and the Denver people who just want to drink outside, they still have very good attendance. 13th in MLB this year despite sucking so bad. Ownership has also bought and developed a ton of property surrounding the ballpark and makes a killing off of all of that. The owner actually does spend a little on MLB payroll, but he hates spending on front office and player development. He's even on record saying that a salary cap should apply to those budgets. He always hires in house and they run a skeleton front office. He becomes friends with the front office people and the players and won't get rid of people because he's friends with them. I think he just promoted his 35 year old son to run the team. MLB puts up with it because he often leads negotiations during the CBA and is good cannon fodder to provide cover for the rest of the owners.
  15. I'd take a shot on either one of these guys. They can both hit 100 mph consistently.
  16. Yeah I hear ya. On Twitter I see a ton of "let's get another right handed bat" tweets but if you do, you basically have to dump Straw. And Straw is a perfect bench guy come playoff time.
  17. Well said. I assume some of the Buffalo Boys could net decent relievers in 1v1 trades. I fully expect some of them to be dealt. Wouldn't be shocked by a Straw trade either if the Jays decide they want to upgrade there and acquire someone like Laureano. It seems like a contender with a s*** bench could use a guy like him.
  18. McMahon stinks and I'm glad the Yankees traded for him. On a contender, he's nothing more than a strong side platoon partner who should be hitting in the bottom 3rd of the lineup. He makes good money and the Yankees are cheaper than they used to be so he's eating up a bunch of payroll the next couple of years. He's not Suarez. He was the captain of the worst team in baseball history. Guy has a loser pedigree. If you're the Yankees you have to hope you can unlock something with the stick and get him to pull more flyballs into the little league part of your stadium. Otherwise, congrats Yankees you just got a strong side platoon partner for Peraza.
  19. https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/michael-kay-don-mattingly-peacemaker-toronto-blue-jays.html Lmao Michael Kay is so shook
  20. Always buy low! Difference between Sandy and Keller isn't that big tbh, but you would be buying low on Sandy and buying high on Keller.
  21. Scherzer seems to be healthyish and Lauer is definitely solidifying himself as a guy so it does raise the bar on the kind of pitcher who can actually contribute. But on the other hand I want the AL East Crown and our SP depth isn't that great. I would not be shocked if Scherzer got hurt and/or Lauer starts to regress. Since June, Sandy has made 9 starts and he's averaging 6 innings a start with a 3.60 FIP. I definitely think he helps.
