    Ask and you shall receive… MLBTR - Marlins Show Interest in Tim Anderson

    Buxton activated from paternity leave, Larnach sent back to St. Paul But really, I’m most curious about the upcoming transaction when Polanco is activated.

    Agreed. Over the last decade if we bet the under on Angels wins every year we would have our mortgages paid off. I don’t blame them for taking this path… No one in baseball wants to be known as the executive who traded away the modern day Babe Ruth. That’s a legacy defining move. If the Angels don’t acquire a star player, that GM isn’t getting another chance to be a GM.

    From the White Sox perspective, I wouldn’t hesitate selling off anyone not named Luis Robert on their MLB team. Who cares if the rotation is 5 Aaron Sanchez types for the last 2 months? They’re way out of it.

    I give Falvey credit for not investing further into a sunk cost if they didn’t believe they could fix Lopez. Terry Ryan would have milked every day of control Jorge Lopez had before giving up.

    They don’t have much of a choice but to go for it this year. There’s no way to get fair value in a trade for the best player on the planet, even when he’s a rental. Selling Ohtani also brings a huge risk of alienating and losing their fan base.

    Arte Moreno can’t help himself by going for it this season. Ohtani has been taken off the trade market, and the Angels will try to make the playoffs for the first time since 2014. To bolster their postseason hopes - they're currently four games out of the final Wild Card spot - they've added Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez from the White Sox. On the other hand, the White Sox begin their fire sale. Who else could leave their organization in the coming days? This changes the dynamic of the trade deadline considerably. Many executives and insiders mentioned how Ohtani was holding up lower-octane trades and decisions. Now that the best baseball player has been taken off the market, expect to see the floodgates open in the coming days. View full rumor

    Joey Gallo was a 4.7 bWAR player in 2021. Even though I hate his style of hitting, it made sense why Falvey chased the upside. Nothing wrong with gambling on 2022 being a fluke and rebounding back to a 3-4 WAR player. We could have kept him for a playoff run, or flip him for a decent return… Whelp, that hasn’t happened. He’s a replacement level player, and time is up. Do the right thing, Falvey.

    I’m out of the loop on a tragic diagnosis for his son reading through these comments. I was confused by the trade from a baseball standpoint. But this trade appears to be more of a personal life decision that both GMs agreed to do. Kudos to all involved.

    Wow. They gave up Lopez and his 2024 arb 3 season for a rental reliever.
  14. Vanimal46
    The options are pretty limited. DFA Joey Gallo or Donnie Barrels. Option Castro, Wallner, or Julien. Roll with a 12 man pitching staff and option Sands or Winder. I know what I would do. It’s time…
  15. Vanimal46
    Matt Wallner and Ed Julien cannot be sent down for Buxton and Polanco in the next 48 hours…

    Whelp, another tough loss. AL Central lead down to 2 games.
  17. Vanimal46
    Name a more iconic duo than Max Kepler and grounding out to 2B.
  18. Vanimal46
    Ugly day at the plate for Correa. At least Munoz bobbled it so it wasn’t a double play.
  19. Vanimal46
    As expected, the bottom of the lineup is carrying the team today
  20. Vanimal46
    6 games over .500 is flying way too close to the sun for the 2023 Twins
  21. Vanimal46
    My bad! Tried to balance my posts with a positive one. Should have known that would happen…
  22. Vanimal46
    I’m liking what I see from Balazovic. He might be our next Jax in the pen.
  23. Vanimal46
    Stick a fork in Gallo. He’s cooked at the plate.
  24. Vanimal46
    I was wondering about that as well. Celestino may be on their list too. Besides that, not too many position players are in St. Paul and fits their rebuild timeline.

    Ed July-ien… .415/.500/.849 slash line 6 HRs in 53 PA.
