I hope Curtis Granderson lands on a cool team that I can cheer for. (Not that I can't cheer for the Blue Jays)

I wouldn't mind if the Cardinals snagged him. With rosters expanding and Gyorko hurt for at least 10 days, he would be a nice addition I think. And lol, I forgot Curtis Granderson still existed.

The Jays will likely move both and get very little for either but it's better than the nothing they'd get at the end of the season I suppose.

I'd be very surprised if Donaldson isn't claimed. He's a low risk high reward rental who worst case scenario gets injured again and best case absolutely mashes.

Donaldson will be healthy and great if he lands in a city where the nightlife and meat markets are dead because he'll get plenty of sleep the night before games.

Ryan Madson to the Dodgers. Looks like its maybe only a salary thing, the Dodgers are taking all of his salary. Madson hasn't been very good this year but the stuff is still there so maybe he can figure it out.

I just realized that since Kenta Maeda signed that ridiculous contract that's mostly incentives, the Dodgers moving him to the bullpen will cost him millionsquote:$6.5M annually in performance bonuses based on games started: $1M each 15, 20 GS. $1.5M each for 25, 30, 32 GS Maeda made 20 starts before being moved to the pen. Wouldve hit 25 for sure, maybe 30.

I think Atlanta could use Josh Donaldson. It would let them move their other infielders around and maybe a month is enough time to keep him bubble wrapped but also allow him to get enough at-bats in to be useful in the playoffs. Camargo and Culberson are having great years but you can't have enough depth if you're serious about the playoffs. And Culberson's has a .360+ BABIP. tadashi fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Aug 31, 2018 |

I think Morosi (or Feinsand) were saying that the Cards were the most involved in trade talks for Donaldson. Indians were the other team mentioned as a likely landing spot.

Pretty sure he would be an upgrade over Eduardo Nunez (who has been serviceable but is still Eduardo Nunez.)

Shiroc posted:The Yankees getting Cutch means Judge's hand is super hosed, doesn't it? Judge should be good by playoff time either way so I think it's as much that as it is Brett Gardner's bat looks cooked (and Frazier is a question mark). Whenever Judge returns, Gardner and Cutch would probably platoon unless one gets really hot in the playoffs.

Hot-me’s smoldering 5 o’clock shadow and crazy-rear end movement on his pitches are good as long as he has a good defensive catcher. He and Willson should get along just fine.

The Cubs have a pretty good streak of signing aging pitchers (Hamels/Chavez) who show up and completely turn themselves around so sure, why not. If it means we don't have to see Tyler Chatwood make another start I'm all for it.

Here's something funny. Keone Kela has been a steamroller in the Pirates pen. Kevin Creagh posted:Kela’s strikeout rate stat was very good with the Rangers this year at 10.80 per 9 innings, but he’s managed in his one month to make it great at 13.15 per 9. Hmm interesting...how might he have achieved such a thing? Kevin Creagh posted:What’s the secret been to his outstanding first month with team? It’s something that Alex and many others have been preaching for the better part of a year — a de-emphasis on fastballs in favor of offspeed stuff. In this case, it’s Kela’s brilliant curveball.  Full article at this link, on the Point of Pittsburgh. I love that the Pirates did the exact opposite of what they normally do and have gotten (surprise) amazing results.

A's trade for Cory Gearrin. With the entire starting pitcher depth chart dead/recently ineffective (aside from ace and Cy Young favorite Mike Fiers) and they're apparently not gonna add one, I wonder if/how many times they'll do the full bullpen game thing in September.

Whenever Judge returns, Gardner and Cutch would probably platoon unless one gets really hot in the playoffs. Gardner and Stanton have been playing nearly every day, this gets Shane Robinson out of the lineup and Stanton back to DH and lets Gardner get some days off. Stanton has been playing with a sore hamstring or a while now

Intruder posted:How is this narrative that Hamels was cooked continuing to persist I wouldn't say cooked, but he wasn't looking great with the Rangers and a big part of that was likely playing in their stadium. Still it was a gamble to take him on when we already have plenty of mediocre to bad starting pitchers.
