  1. This is so 2022. One of your few expendable trade assets self-implodes on Deadline Eve.
  2. Looks like Jose Quintana heading to the Cardinals. Combined with Skubal’s injury, it would appear that Tarik is staying put.
  3. The definition of high risk, high reward.
  4. Skubal really went to extremes to avoid getting traded.
  5. It does seem odd to pull Skubal there. Pitching a shutout, close game, relatively low pitch count. If it was to audition relievers, why bring in Vest? I’d be surprised if he were to move.
  6. Call Derek Hill up (too soon?)
  7. We’re going to see both Fulmer and Chafin tonight, I suspect. Last chance for a pre-deadline audition.
  8. I’m more concerned about how aggressive Akil gets with Nathan in the Car Shield commercials. Of course the poor guy likes to save money.
  9. A lot of groupthink, for sure. I bought into the Twitter-inspired hype.
  10. He was actually hitting better recently, but can never seem to get it together. If only he could have avoided all of the injuries along the way, maybe his bat would be more advanced than it has shown.
  11. They must believe they can still trade Grossman. Although, we have to clear another 49 man spot this week for Matt Manning.
  12. I think he’ll clear—most teams have 40 man challenges, too.
  13. Hader has been brutal lately. Was on the verge of losing his job to Devin Williams—MLB Radio speculating moving him would avoid any potential uncomfortableness around his demotion. Soto should have more trade value than Hader—having the better season, much cheaper (that matters to teams) and controllable for more years. I would expect a better return.
  14. Yes. High school players have all the leverage.
  15. A lot of teams passed on Lawlar. I’ll feel bad about our Jobe pick once Meyer and Lawlar are tearing it up in the majors and Jobe is proven a bust. Until then, none of this really matters.
  16. I think his sister is the only with business savvy. One is a musician and another is a Fredo. Not sure about the others, but it appears Chris is the most competent.
  17. The joke around William Clay Ford was that he was the Fredo of the Ford family. Instead of sending him to Vegas so that he wouldn’t mess up the family business, they gave him the Lions to run. If he was held in high regard, he would have been more involved with Ford Motor Company
  18. Good landing spot for him—a well run franchise that seems to always be in contention with a steady flow of young prospects.
  19. I’ve read the Cardinals are in the mix for Juan Soto—I don’t see any team that is interested in him (or Ohtani for that matter), trading any prospects until this gets resolved.
  20. I wouldn’t for either, but maybe as part of a package. Angels are a mess right now—with Trout’s health uncertainty, Rendon’s decline and Ohtani potentially getting traded before his free agency, will be interesting how they proceed. Without that uncertainty, Skubal would have made a ton of sense for them.
  21. I’ think it will be two—Fulmer and Chafin.
  22. I’ve read that the WB is optioning The Castro’s as a mid season replacement next year. Will also feature their wacky cousin, Starlin, in a recurring role.
  23. Perhaps, but I’d just rather hold on to Skubal if we can’t immediately address our lineup.
