  1. Joe Ryan left his start today with tricep soreness in his pitching shoulder, after just 33 pitches across two innings. That will be a massive blow to the Twins if he's going to miss time.
  2. Matt Chapman enjoyed his best month of the season in July (.239/.368/.455) and now has homered in three straight games at the start of August.
  3. Vintage robbery by Superman
  4. It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be a breakout season or an outlier for Brenton Doyle. Elite CF defender but he has a shot at a 30/30 season (currently 18/21) and is slashing .272/.334/.479. His K rate (25.5%) is below 30% for the first time since his partial season of rookie ball after signing in 2019
  5. What, you think it's a bad idea to call up the 18 year old with a 34% K rate and sub .300 OBP in A ball?
  6. And on the other end, it's his former employer (Friedman) giving KK a shot to play on a contender to round out his last season
  7. Yarborough makes 3.9M, that should get us plenty under the threshold?
  8. Bassitt probably
  9. Jay Harry - 2023 6th rounder out of Penn State, strong pro debut with the bat after signing last year, not so much this year at HiA. Has played SS/2B/3B and all three OF spots as a pro.
  10. Mark Leiter Jr to the Yanks
  11. Just turned 23 and only has 48 innings of AA/AAA experience, definitely would rather give him more time and roll out some gas can if needed for now
  12. I have been the high guy on Jack Flaherty around here throughout his career but I'd be very ok with him as a (cheaper) alternative to Burnes if we miss on him. Bring back Kikuchi to complete the coup over Houston and you have a solid veteran four with competition for a 5th spot. Flaherty, Gausman, Berrios, Kikuchi, Bloss/Francis (sell Bassitt while the market is hot)

  14. Looks like three of his four starts with Buffalo have not gone well...
  15. Loperfido seems like a fun player, hopefully he can hit consistently enough to be regular, even if in a utility role
  16. Bloss has so little experience above A ball, 44 innings at AA and just four innings in AAA. We'll see what the plan is but doesn't seem like the worst idea to give him a bit more seasoning in Buffalo
  17. They didn't like it when they thought it was 1 for 1, no doubt they are pissed now
  18. "A big part of why we’re this high on him despite his hit tool issues is Loperfido’s very versatile defensive profile. He has the ability to play all three outfield positions at an average level, while also showing he can handle first and second-base at a passable level. The way Loperfido can move the ball around the infield at first base is actually quite special. While he does many things at an average to solid level, there’s no single aspect of his bat or defensive ability that grades out as plus; this is a profile where the sum is greater than the raw parts. Loperfido projects as a high-end bench utility player for a World Series contender and could sneak into the lineup every day for lesser clubs." The above makes Loperfido much more interesting and potentially valuable than your average plus power fringe contact type guy.
  19. Wait until they find out they are giving up more than just Bloss
  20. Pretty good young arm to get for a rental Kikuchi, hopefully we are getting another lottery ticket or two as well
