  OH MY GOD <Favorite Team> PUT <Star Player> ON WAIVERS WHAT THE gently caress!?!quote:The non-waiver Trade Deadline is considered the height of summer transaction season, but trades do not stop on July 31. However, in order to deal a player on its 40-man roster after that date, a team must go through the waiver system. tl;dr - unless a reputable reporter says there's a trade brewing, it doesn't mean anything, you twit MLB.tv Sharing Thread Jose Oquendo posted:Well guys, I'm gonna live on the edge another year: CLICK THE COOL THING FOR .GIF THREAD        https://twitter.com/MikeSGallagher/status/891758864021860352 https://twitter.com/NotMrTibbs/status/891770784166813696

I still can't get over those two Orioles deals. Does Duquette have photos of Angelos loving a donkey or something? How is he still meaningfully employed by a major league team?

Apparently the Cardinals made a play for Sonny Gray, offering Piscotty and Weaver or Flaherty. I don't get it. The rotation is full for this year and next.

Waino might be dead/even worse next year and Reyes will be dealt with very carefully. But yea, I don't get it even with saying these things. Cardinals love buying out arb and then trading players.

Joey Freshwater posted:Jon Mayo is reporting that Braves are calling up our #2 overall prospect (#19 MLB) Ozzie Albies today. For context, his OPS is like 120 points over what he did in AAA last half of last season and he's got a 111 wRC+. He's not setting the world on fire but I'm guessing they want to know where he is compared to MLB pitching right now so they know if they need to start looking for more place holders for 2018.

Hell, even Josh Hader, the big piece of the Gomez trade, doesn't look like a starter long term. Why would he be so burnt by those? Edit: I completely forgot Fiers was in that deal. Neither of those trades are truly awful. Kirios fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Aug 1, 2017 |

gently caress the Yankees forever, but let it be known - Aaron Judge is awesome and cool. I am bored at work. I made this.  It's no Ibanez lawn dart, but long live monster homer runs.

Jeff Passan and Doug Gottlieb are having a little twitter beef. Gottlieb had some dumb hot take about how we should be suspicious Adrian Beltre is on steroids because he's from the Dominican Republic and it's easy to get PEDs there. This wasn't Passan's initial reply but it's his best: https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/892484794591981569

Brett Phillips was the bigger piece in the Gomez trade IMO The most annoying thing I guess is Luhnow seemed to be focused only on the guys who had years of cheap team control left but was unwilling to give up much for them when those guys are always going to be pretty expensive e: Though it seems like they should have been able to beat the Gray offer with something like Tucker and Whitley (though I'm super high on Tucker, but prospects will break your heart and all that) Intruder fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Aug 1, 2017 |

I wish we could find something for Adams to do, I like him too much. But yeah if we were going to lose both/either of them, I wish they would have done something yesterday.

Yanks going to a six man rotation since Severino threw a ton of pitches last night They say it's only for one time through, but I think they're going to have Gumby take a few of Severino's starts until September. They both have to be on some kind of innings limits, even if nobody will say so.
