Not the perfect fit since a DH-only is a bit restrictive, but for a DH-only who can put up a 140-150 wRC+, I think you can find a way to make it work.

Doesn't sound like an actual rumor, but hell yes to adding Cruz. Use Grichuk as the 4th OF, rest Cruz a few times a week due to his age (which would open up DH for Vlad/Springer when necessary), and outslug everyone.

Richards, Cimber, Mayza, and Romano to seal this win.

I'm glad the Jays scored off Harvey. This game needs to be a blow out. Beat up on the s*** bag SPs.

Thornton gone. Now just need another bullpen add or two to displace Dolis and Chatwood, who are both very dangerous because Buntoyo will not hesitate to use them in high leverage spots.

First base is a big area of weakness for the Brewers, and Tellez (at least the 2020 version) has shown some glimpses of upside with the bat. Whether he turns into anything remains to be seen, but for a reliever and a fringe SP prospect, I think the Brewers made out pretty well. If Rowdy flops, no big loss for them. A good trade for both sides.

Same thing happened with Sheffield against the M's last week. He looked so bad and hittable but the Jays couldn't break through against him and eventually lost. Jays offense is really good but they need to feast off the bad pitching when it's there for the taking.

In 2019 I thought Thornton could make a pretty decent multi inning reliever, but he's actually a worse RP than he was a SP (he at least put up a 2 WAR season as a SP).

Grandal out for 4-6 weeks. Maybe they'd be interested in Reese now.

Rowdy going to the Brewers is like the least surprising thing ever. He was out of a spot with the Jays with Vlad at 1B so this was inevitable. Good to see Atkins add some pen help for expendable parts. Guys like Richard and Cimber should be solid out of the pen as secondary options behind Dolis late in games.

Given how slow Canada has been to approve this, my guess is the Jays will be playing in either an empty stadium or capacity that is so small that they'd have more fans in the stands if they stay in Buffalo. I don't live in Canada, so I'm sure I'll be wrong on that (hope so) but I don't think they go 0 to 100 on this one. Even 0 to 25 is a push.

The best way to get Dolis back on the right track is to use him in high leverage situations late in games. Especially against the Red Sox and Rays. Use pitchers like Romano when the score is 6-1. When it's a close game? Against a division rival ahead of you in the standings? Doleese time.

Romano and Dolis were warming up side by side and that moron still went with Dolis. Unbelievable.

Perfect time to use a returning Dolis. Not like this was an important game or anything.

I’m scared that I know Buntoyo this well. We need a manager change before I start agreeing with him.

If it stays 6-1 I’m positive Romano is coming in.

Seriously. Espinal looks like a very solid utility infielder but he was buried in favor of the s***** vetrin. At least the nightmare is over.

Blowing out the Rays is a rarity so have to enjoy these moments. Time to take the next two. Sweep these mofos and get legit back in the WC race.

Orioles fans can't be counted on to do anything right.

I think the reason people are "upset" with Teoscar over Mullins (aside from the obvious - performance) is that Teoscar outside of Toronto isn't a hugely popular player. Trout and Judge are well known. Them making it, even if the numbers didn't justify it (they do), would make sense. Hernandez is just as much a no name as Mullins is so it's easier to question that one. To me, Winker over Betts is more disappointing for the star power reason. Betts is way more known but yet somehow wasn't voted in. Neither was Muncy, so maybe LA fans just don't care. I think the AS game should always be a popularity contest. Baseball needs to showcase their most known and charismatic players. If some no name shmuck was outperforming Tatis, there's no chance I'd want that player in the game over Fernando. In the case of Hernandez versus the field, everyone in that spot is relatively unknown outside of baseball circles, so it can be more of a debate. Either way, as others have said, if Canadians spamming the AS votes help with attracting players here, then even better. It may even slightly override the whole "you have to play in a minor league or spring training park until the end of time" thing going on right now.

Where Bauer is going to get hurt from this is his social media platform. He built up a pretty decent following on YouTube and Twitter, more than most baseball players. I can't imagine he'll be able to post a video or picture with comments enabled for a long time. However, if he's found not guilty, then nothing will happen to his career. He'll get booed everywhere for as long as people remember this, and then life will go on.

Yeah Teoscar really shouldn't be there over Mullins, but happy for him. Great story and he's really developed into a good hitter. Plus, if Canadian fans were going to spam votes, then better him than Grichuk.

I think where her story falls apart is there is no explanation as to why she went back to him a 2nd time if she was assaulted/raped the first time. They seem to gloss over that, unless I missed it. Bauer is still an idiot for letting his dick override his better judgment though. Rough sex, BDSM, or whatever the hell he's into is not a good idea for a star athlete, especially one who just signed a huge contract. Wait until you're retired from the sport you sick freak.

Agreed players shouldn't show up the manager and teammates, but an exception is made for Montoyo (and Panik). I have my reasons.

Eh, Chatwood sucks, but Montoyo deserves to get yelled at by anyone, so I'll let it slide. Much like Stripling yelling at Panik. Since it was Panik, all good.
