Cal getting sent to the place pitchers go to die

Unsurprising. Cal's peripherals looked really bad and the Guardians are going full steam ahead on their new rookie pitcher alignment. He might bounce back but I think it's a coin flip chance if he's cooked or not.

I’m hearing reports that Shohei Ohtani is “desperate” to sign with the World Champion Texas Rangers. “I want to hang out in the clubhouse and blast Creed with the boys,” Ohtani was reportedly overheard saying.

Ohtani is on record as wanting to put a team over the top, well there's a team that came a game short of the WS

There was a blurb on MLBTR saying that the Tigers were interested. I had a good chuckle at the thought of Chris Ilitch shelling out a contract over 200m for a pitcher, but goddamn would it be cool if the impossible happened :unsmith:

Padres trade Scott Barlow to Guardians for Enyel De Los Santos



Maaaan I hate this trade. De Los Santos was the like stable point of our bullpen this year. Don't know what the Guards see in Scott Barlow but he had a bad year and we've blown up so much of our pitching already.

lmao that Kimbrel trade's looking better by the day! Sucks about Roberts, all downhill from that great moment where he got told he was making the team in ST a couple years ago. :smith: Hughes is quite the surprise, but maybe with his weird knee thing and Little now in the mix he's considered superfluous. Could see all these guys back on minor league deals too I guess. Oh and the Cubs also agreed to a ~$2M contract with Wisdom.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:

The Brewers were never going to pay his FA price and with him reportedly turning down an extension that would give the Brewers another cheapish year in exchange for letting him rehab in 2024, the non-tender makes sense. They'd be paying him close to $12M to *maybe* pitch some games down the stretch, with no guarantee he'd be immediately effective again after major surgery. Deffo some teams with bigger pockets will be looking to bring him in and give him an actual ace extension though.

Now the only question is will they trade Burnes this offseason or at the deadline.

The only thing Arte Moreno hates more than spending over the luxury tax is the Los Angeles Dodgers. He will never ever ever in a million lifetimes trade Mike Trout to the Dodgers.

He’s more likely to eat Trout’s entire contract and give him for free to the Giants than he is to approve a trade to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers getting both Ohtani and Trout should kill anyone's interest in baseball for the foreseeable future

If the Astros pulled it off though that would rule and everyone should love it

I'm happy for Wisdom, dude has been solid for the Cubs even if the numbers don't necessarily show it and he deserves a pay day. Hope he can get another one next year, he's at least a good bat to have off the bench and he plays a solid 3b.
