Absolutely. I was a huge Sale proponent, but at the time, I understood not paying that "high" price. It turns out, the Red Sox kind of knew what...
May I respectfully ask why McHugh gets an automatic spot in the rotation? He was amazing when he first emerged as an Astro, but he's been a lot...
Some good discussion going on here, but I think the answer is clearly Britton.
Damnit, this sucks donkey balls.
I really hope we get Zach Britton. Adding another elite option, who happens to be a lefty (although Sipp has had a nice turnaround, we still lack...
This also doesn't bode well for us, as this means all teams will insist Kyle Tucker is involved in a trade, since Eloy just went for Quintana.
Eloy Jimenez is a beast. Probably the same tier as Kyle Tucker (I'd give a slight edge to Jimenez, he comes with more risk but more reward).
Sure, I understand that the Rays are playing well, so my approach at the deadline would be to pass on the big splash and roll with what we have,...
Chris Archer or bust for me. I did notice Keuchel and Archer sitting next to each other and chatting it up during the ASG. I remember Keuchel...
Yes, in my opinion, 1.5 years of Machado is better than the next 5 years of Bregman/Martes. I already said that. "Sub 800 career OPS" doesn't...
I disagree.

Could Benedetti be better than Benintendi? I'm so confused.
This is why we can't have nice stuff.
Exactly. What a fun time to be a fan. I wish Yuli wasn't such a slacker. Maybe he can get a couple of hits tonight and get going.
Agreed. I don't want to settle here. Either go big (a legit ace or ace-lite, that we can confidently throw out there in the playoffs and hope...
Agreed. For the reasons you stated, that's why I mentioned that the acquisition cost (in terms of prospects) shouldn't be ridiculous. I'm still...
How about Johnny Cueto? I think he has a player opt-out clause, so the price tag shouldn't be ridiculous for what might be a half-year rental.
