That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

How are the Blue Jays gonna use Nate Pearson this year? Will he be up soon, and will he start? I've got him stashed in several leagues but he's NA now instead of IL. He sounds loving awesome, but only has 18 MLB innings so far, and pitches in the AL East. Is he worth burning a roster spot on until he comes up, or nah?

Heading into the season, Pearson was thought to be the #2 starter behind Ryu. I am unsure if that was thought of internally or by the fans, but if you look at the other starters the Jays had, it is not a stretch to think they'd give him a longer leash. Even now, the Jays haven't really hammered down their rotation. Ryu is now injured, Matz and Ray have looked fine, but the other slots are big question marks. As of right now, he's off the IL, but I believe he's just on the alternate site and should be coming to the majors soon.

With that said, I am not really sure what to expect from Pearson. He has been a great prospect, but that doesn't necessarily translate to major league success. Plus, they are probably going to limit is innings, because he's never had a huge workload.

As said, he should be coming up soon, so it's probably worth waiting to see.

I would assume they want him to start, and I think they need him to start right now. I'm keeping him as a bench stash for the moment.

Pearson will be up and starting in a couple weeks, he's ramping up his pitch count currently. I wouldn't be shocked that the team that has had two bullpen days and Ross stripling start this week has him up by next weekend even.

Who the hell is Matt Beaty??? He's no longer living in a van down by the river!

4-for-6 and 7 RBI (1 HR) for the Dodgers today.

AJ Pollock had 8 RBI, but I've heard of him.

I find it hilarious that two guys were responsible for hitting in 15 of the 16 runs scored.

I currently am extremely last place in a roto league so I’m getting THOSE kind of trade offers. This one might be ok but I’m leaning no


I get Juan Soto, Domingo German, lindor

I give trea, darvish


14 category league

12 teams

Long season so I’d like to still compete. Wasn’t too much better record wise at this point the year I won it all.

I’m a big Juan Soto guy (they don’t know it) so it’s tempting

Without even German in there I would jump all over that offer. Would have mashed accept before the page even fully loaded.

You're finished, pork-o-nazi!
This might be an oversimplification, but most people would say that Lindor and Turner are roughly equal (Lindor is obviously struggling but he's also getting BABIPed). So that's basically a Soto for Darvish trade, and you would surely trade any pitcher in MLB to get Soto.

Looks like he won't even resume baseball activities for 12 to 16 weeks so that might be it for the regular season.

He's been taking up a spot on my roster since opening day because I couldn't put him on the IL. It's annoying as hell. But I'm hopeful he'll get healthy enough to start some games before the end of the month.

He's apparently a really bad first baseman, plus the Sox have Abreu, so I doubt he starts any of these road interleague games. He'll probably pinch hit I guess?

He's a catcher. It's weird they haven't tried him at all back there. He must really be awful.

Another no-hitter. This time by Wade Miley.

He's a guy who, over the past few seasons, is often sitting there on the waiver wire untouched. Maybe the occasional pick up for a spot start and dropped.

That guy just threw a no-hitter!

Go check the pitchers who have thrown a no-hitter. He is the average no-hitter pitcher.
