pretty odd
Half the teams in each league make the playoffs. Every team thinking why not :yeshrug: I was thinking this trade deadline would be dead because selling teams would be asking for crazy returns since everyone would try to go for it.

A's need another SP, that 4.70 starter ERA aint cutting it in the playoffs. Minor gets rid of Montas, but Manaea has been terrible too

they were in on Rosenthal despite a 1.80 reliever ERA, i guess they feel theres better talent out there to be had in the pen

Manaea's last 2 starts were pretty good. Only 5 innings in each start but he only gave 1 earned run in each start.

im hopeful. got no problem with the Royals blueprint of getting 5 capable innings then handing it over to the pen. 5 is about all you get out of this group anyway, outside of Luzardo who they are (rightfully) protecting a bit

Keep seeing the Dodgers trying for Lynn. Surprised Rays haven't tried to add another bat. Astros need relief pitching.
Nga we need STARTING pitching, Verlander ain’t walking through that door no time soon :mjcry:



my custom stitched Astros jersey came in today :mjgrin: hopefully the Rockets jersey makes it in time as well. :blessed:

Price was too steep and our farm is in bad shape.

Urquidy might be back this week. Hey JV or Peacock back and roll the dice for the playoffs. Isn’t the first round best out of three?

Yeah I wouldn’t have wanted Price walking through the door either honestly.

If we get anything from JV it’s a bonus.

White Sox being in the discussions for Clev & Lynn make me hopeful they will add one more high end SP in FA to complete this team. We are pretty much locked up for our position players minus RF for many years
