BATDANCE


I am not sad to see Civale leave the division, feels like Cleveland giving up. But I'd really like the Twins to do... something. Like, "we're a better team than this" is certainly true, but also something needs to change.

god RFK was a nightmare.

It was awful watching baseball inside, but tailgating by the river was more fun and had a better view than the Nats’ current shipping container bowl situation.

Jordan Hicks gonna wear #12, a somewhat newly available number since a sex pest had it unretired...

I am looking forward to seeing Jays fans reactions to Hicks. He could very well continue his elite play of the past month, or he could turn back into 12.50 ERA, 1.98 WHIP guy throwing 105 anywhere but the zone

Looking at the scouting reports on Manzardo, I can see why the Rays were willing to deal him. Elite contact and OBP skills, but moderate power and only plays first base? Seems pretty fungible unless he turns into Literally Freddie Freeman.

Mariners need bats and expect to continue to turn randos into great bullpen arms. It's a great deal for us. Especially compared to the Mariners only getting Abraham Toro for Kendall Graveman when he was putting up a similarly good season.

Moving Sewald isn’t selling.

Great deal, only thing I don’t like is Sewald’s not going to a likely WS contender for this season.

I imagine Angelos doesn’t want to cover significant salary in a trade and Elias probably (justifiably) doesn’t want to give up a bunch of high ranked prospects and/or roster guys on a 40 year old Verlander so Cohen will foot the bill.

seems like a fine trade for the m's. selling high on someone in position the team is strong in for some who is at least marginally better than kolten wong and two young guys with tons of team control. the right move for the position the mariners are in, imho. i will miss sewald tho

Made is pretty good too. That's a lot to give up for Candelario. Especially for a team with a slim shot of making the playoffs.

he won't, he's been unplayably bad this year at the plate.

Can run really fast still though and play OF decently enough.

AJ Pollock was having an incredibly dreadful year, moving him doesn't mean the M's are selling. More that they finally had someone to take that spot and could move on from him.

Wong is probably moved too (hopefully), Rojas/Caballero mix at 2B and Canzone primarily DHing unless they move on from Ty France.

Better in 23 as long as you can find someone to fill mid-leverage innings since Topa slots into your high leverage mix of Munoz/Brash.
