Dude, we could give them our entire farm, we aren’t getting bobby witt jr.

Lasaracina, the Italian catcher we signed has had a pretty good start in the complex league. He is 22 but it’s also his first shot at pro ball.

Supposedly fringy but he does work really hard at it.

It’s the positional thing that I just can’t see past. Like even if he plays corner outfield, he’s kind of a barger clone. There is so much corner outfield/corner infield power guys in the system, I think some of it will be traded. Hopefully they pick the right ones.

There is absolutely no way I’d trade Vlad. But yea of course, if we are enough games out of the playoffs at the deadline we could sell. I’d guess any reliever with less than two years control, all expirings. So, Gausman, Springer, Varsho, Garcia, Bieber, and then probably guys like Nance. Maybe someone like Jesus Sanchez as well? Might be valuable for a contender and has some control.

The most tantalizing thing about Harry is that he is a true non catcher utility. He has played every position other than third and first this year and seeing as he has played SS loads, presumably with some reps he could play those as well. That obviously could help someone get a spot in a 26 man squad, especially if he is a 50 at SS and CF. I’m pretty skeptical of a guy who basically couldn’t hit forever now being able to hit though. Sean Keys feels trade bait to me? We have so much of that general type of player, or maybe they trade someone like shrek and keep Keys,

I only saw the first 10 mins of the Qatar game. Can’t believe they got a point.

There isn’t any connection, right? That worries the s*** out of me honestly. Like it’s way too reactive. They need to have a conversation with him about the bunts.

I thought the at bats today were not bad generally. Schlittler to a large degree got a bit lucky and the hitters unlucky.

I normally think that managers get blamed too much and front offices too little. But honestly that decision just makes so little sense. It’s almost like he thought the previous double plays were predictive of future ones? That’s not the case, right? I wouldn’t can him but I’d ask him to explain every single bunt from now on rationally. But I would call Alex Cora and see if he’s interested in a job.

Luzardo is a good pitcher imo. Sanchez and Wheeler are both elite though.

Him and Lopez are the two that got away but also understandable. We have so many lefties right now, we will probably lose someone who does well elsewhere as well.

The Phillies might have the three best 1,2,3 starters in baseball, so I’m honestly not too pissed to just get one win.

I’m interested in seeing Luzardo. He’s a FA next year. Possible target.
