    Bleacher Report is great if you use it as it’s intended to be used - as a news aggregator site. Just never read any comments or “here’s a list of the top players who could be traded” type speculation articles that are poorly researched trash.

    I had no idea what you were talking about for a while until it clicked! Was trying to work out which player's nickname was Georgie haha. Women's golf gets very little coverage here because the majors don't overlap with the men's like in tennis. The only time you really see Brits celebrating British success in minor sports is the Olympics and the women's draw at Wimbledon. Our sporting coverage is dominated by the major popular sports. At the moment it's mainly the football (it's transfer deadline today!) and a bit of the cricket as England are in a Test series with India.

    Oliver Drake’s quest to play for every MLB team continues, the Twins will be his 5th team this season:

    IMO the White Sox and us are interchangeable. With Acuna graduating Vlad probably pushes us slightly ahead of the Braves. So 3rd / 2nd behind the Padres is where I’d put us.

    Carlos Ramirez has just been dfa by the A’s, I’d much rather sign him.

    I agree totally. I still wouldn’t be surprised to see him be let go in the offseason, but I would be disappointed. TBF I thought one of the first things Shatkins would do is hire their own man.
  11. Bobthe4th
    I think the majority will agree with you plus will want Gibby to stay, but Wedge was brought in by the current front office and has experience so seems the obvious choice for them to make if an interim guy was needed.
  12. Bobthe4th
    Eric Wedge is surely the man who'd take over in that unlikely scenario. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Gibby leaves in the offseason.

    Jose Reyes pitched the last inning and gave up 6 runs. He also hit Zimmerman with a 54 mph curveball, and Zimmerman then pretended to charge the mound, haha:

    Adam Warren (for international bonus pool money) is a good pick up for Seattle as they try to cling on to a wildcard. The Yankees bullpen is so stacked that they won’t miss him.
  15. Bobthe4th
    This is the best take. It’s effectively a swap of 2 elite closers that could no longer play for their teams, with a couple of prospects thrown in as Osuna is younger and a bit better. We’ll come out on top if Giles is our closer for a while and then traded for a haul. P.s you should post more!

    Baseball is popular with grumpy old men, and young(ish) nerds who like stats/spreadsheets.
  17. Bobthe4th
    Yeah true and the Jays and MLB will know much more than we do about what happened. I'm hoping that because MLB have given Osuna a suspension that ends before his legal case is resolved, that means the incident isn't that bad and so any impact is minimal. Realistically any impact is more from a PR side than legal / visa issues, and the danger of video leaking / an interview with the alleged victim etc. Any enquiring teams that are looking to trade for Osuna will talk to the Jays (and MLB?) to ascertain those risks and hopefully be reassured.
  18. Bobthe4th
    Yeah exactly.
  19. Bobthe4th
    No that's incorrect until Osuna's legal situation is resolved. The situation will obviously come up in any trade talks and the acquiring team will have to be satisfied it's not going to blow up in their faces - imagine the impact an interview for the woman with a local paper and her sharing lurid details of domestic violence. Correct. This statement literally means nothing. You do not know this for certain and it's naive to think Rogers have 0% input in all situations. This doesn't mean Osuna is going to be traded for nothing, or for a low ball offer. It maybe that someone offers an amazing return, or he isn't traded at all. My original point is that you're incorrect dismissing any concerns and pretending his legal case has zero impact and can and will be ignored.
  20. Bobthe4th
    You don't know that for certain though - Rogers could insist he be traded now for PR reasons even if the return is perceived as subpar. We don't know enough to make categorical statements. What if the owners are worried that video is going to leak after his court case is over? Glory is right that acquiring teams have more leverage with Osuna's legal situation not yet cleared up. We don't know for certain if that will prevent a trade.
  21. Bobthe4th
    Is that a video game injury or a typo? /s
  22. Bobthe4th
    Might as well give him a shot. Service time isn’t really an issue, he’d have to have a Soto like impact to start next year on the 25 man. It’s obv unlikely, but how cool would it be if by the end of next season the starting lineup includes: C: Jansen 1B: Tellez 2B: Gurriel 3B: Guerrero SS: Bichette
  23. Bobthe4th
    This is painful to watch - outfielder Carlos Gomez pitching for the Rays. 4 walks, 2 balks, and only 1 out. Still, he only started with 9 straight balls before throwing a strike so there's hope for him yet.
  24. Bobthe4th
    I’ll support you, 2 weeks isn’t a big deal, haha. Can’t wait to see Vlad make his debut (even if it isn’t until next year).
  25. Bobthe4th
    Drury being in the deal will look a lot better if we trade Solarte for prospects.
