I'm guessing a classic "the Dodgers want our hot trade chip so we're going to demand their top prospect even though it's a 2 month rental of a 33 year old"

The Dodgers could use another good pitcher but also it is not clear how big an upgrade Lynn would really be, so I'm sure Friedman was not willing to part with big pieces for him.

Twins need pitching too, but we already had a ride on the Lance Lynn and it wasn't as exciting as we had been told. (Arguably same for the Yankees, tbh.)

I can squint and see what he's trying to do with everybody but Osich. That guy just flat out sucks, there's zero upside to be had, and putting him in the pen just makes it worse, were that somehow possible. If you so badly need another lefty to take a gamble on then call up Hultzen or Steele or Marquez. Don't go pick up a guy who's got four seasons under his belt proving he is absolutely worthless.

Cubs have no farm system and ownership is treating luxury tax like a hard cap, all they can do is to find these marginal guys and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. I will always be fond of the one time that worked with Jesse Chavez.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Again it seems like the Braves could’ve gotten something done for Lynn if that actually wanted to take a shot at things this year, all these pitching prospects are just depreciating with every season that goes by.

Brian Goodwin had a decent run with the Angels all things considered. Wish they could have gotten something for Simmons since it's probably unlikely the Angels re-sign him.

I'm a little surprised they didn't trade Dylan Bundy because the Angels trading their best pitcher would have been on brand for 2020.

Honestly Shinobi I think your GM thinks you guys can compete in 2021. I'm...not so sure about that. The Astros will still be great then (after 2021 entirely depends if they can extend everyone) and the Athletics will be just as good if not better.

Our GM hasn't landed a good deal in like 10 years, our farm system sucks, our scouts are garbage and we can't even draft. This isn't knee jerking fan poo poo, this is all fact. We are anchored by giant contracts to Rougned Odor who is dead in the water and hasn't done a thing since he punched Jose Bautista, and Elvis Andrus who has fallen off the face of the earth since Adrian Beltre left.

This team sucks major rear end, and given the expectations for this garbage season was "we've got a solid starting rotation that might sneak us into wildcard discussion," and we couldn't even do that. Like seriously, burn all this poo poo down. Kluber pitched a half inning, Minor was sent off a year too late, and Lance Lynn is a shining golden pig covered in pig poo poo.


gently caress the Rangers. I hope the stadium stays empty.

Poor Ross has been frustrated going back and forth in/out of the rotation so hopefully he gets some stability in Toronto Buffalo

But this should solidify Tony Gonsolin's spot in the rotation

So, the Orioles, currently on the final game of road trip in Buffalo, traded Miguel Castro to the Mets for minor league LHP Kevin Smith.

You want to talk about an awkward flight for Castro? The Orioles are home tomorrow night against the Mets. Does he even travel with the team back? Or does he have to go to the Mets and fly with them to Baltimore?

Yup Folty will make it back by the end of the season, pitch one game and get busted for PED's. Sounds like a plan.

The White Sox didn't do anything, but I'm definitely good with it. The everyday is set with guys here now, guys here within 2 years, or guys a decision needs to be made on; depth is good, bullpen and closer are good. I guess they could have done something for a 4 or 5, but I don't think that makes a difference this year (at least).

E: I know Gold Glove is over rated, but was there really no one that could use a 2020 Yolmer Sanchez on their roster? The Sox signed him yesterday to the team and I don't think he was injured or anything.

I think it makes sense. Trout and Adell are locked into CF/RF so he was mostly going to platoon LF with Upton. They've got a few different guys they can throw out there to finish this season and some of next until they call up Brandon Marsh.

The idea of trading a dude that's been solid and still has 2 Arb years left stings a little but the Angels need pitching so drat bad that I can't really complain when they get two in return if the PTBNL ends up being a pitcher like the beat writers seem to think.
