Kyle Hendricks to the 10 day DL with right hand tendinitis. That's not good.

He's been our best starter this year in terms of both WHIP and bWAR. :smith:

Kyle Schwarber for Chris Archer. Let's do this.

I'd be worried about the Trop's structural integrity from all the Schwarbombs hitting weak spots.

I know he's a top prospect but :lol: why are the Astros calling up a guy spotting a 5.29 ERA in AAA?

To make room for the random guy they called up, Brett Anderson goes on the 60-day. You lose some, you win some.

Welcome to the Mariners circa 1 month ago!

E: technically we're still on 3/5 of the pen out with Felix, Iwakuma and Smyly on the DL, now that I think about it.

The way the Pittsburgh Pirates have been completely and utterly mismanaged with an eye towards scrimping quarters since the 2015 season has me seeing red and I believe their entire front office and ownership org should be thrown into a wood chipper. That is all.

If I'm posting a new thread, it means there is a thread already posted and I failed at using the forum search correctly
What would the Astros offer for Julio Tehran? He's having a down year this year, mainly because the new ballpark is in his head, and his contract is very very affordable for the next, like, 4 years or something. The Braves need bats, especially outfield bats.

Also, we have Jamie Garcia who will be a free agent this year but whose ERA is hovering around 3.

Was looking for Sano's latest homer, found this instead:

Paul Goldschmidt hustles in to field a bunt down the first-base line and nearly scoops up a bird in his glove that was resting on the field

I also think the bird was calling for it. Bad form, Goldschmidt.

I would take Archer over the rest. Lynn and Gray have injury concerns, and Quintana is just sucking.

I don't understand the fawning over Lynn. He's got a BABIP of .201 this year. That's not holding up. Still a nice starter but not in the same league as Archer in my opinion.

What? Both Ender and Kemp are north of .300 and Markakis is close and a doubles machine. Definitely could use better players past them but you don't trade Tehran for a 4th outfielder.

Aside from the rotation 3B seems like the obvious position for the Braves to be shopping for. Anyone who makes sense on the market, for like 2+ years?
