Starting today, the goal is to get a bye in the wild card round, and make sure that Skubal is rested and healthy for game 1 of the playoffs.
-
I suspect the bullpen guys they brought in are to replace guys like Kahnle, who has been awful for a few months. They may not have upside but can't be worse than him.

DBacks and Orioles are examples of well intentioned front offices who had this same objective and crap happened.

Yes this is true. At some point, they need to be ruthless and trade one of their core guys to make room for the prospects. Or they need to sign them. If the goal is to be as flexible as possible, you have to make tough choices. I'm not talking about Skubal..his situation is separate.

Per Harris, Melton is moving to the bullpen..Morton is starting.

Bednar headed to the Yankees.

They expect Sewald to be back in early September.

Matt Manning DFA to open a spot on the 40 man.

Shane Bieber ->Toronto. I think Cleveland is trading everyone.

Conversely, you have a good team and real weaknesses in the back end of your bullpen. You might not be as healthy next year and the AL might be not be as wide open. You have to give your team the best shot to do something special. They want to build a sustainable product where they have playoff/competitive teams every year. This is one of those chances.

He's a warm body...better option than Montero, SGL, and likely Melton.
-
Paddack is a jag who has had tommy john surgery..i guess he can be a back end starter to an extent.

Andy Ibanez is taking drills in Detroit...no corresponding move reported yet. It's either Jahmai Jones or someone going on the IL.
-
Emmanuel Clase placed on paid leave due to gambling issues. He's out until August 31st the earliest.
-
He got the Jack Flaherty deal...$20 million each in '26 and '27, $ 3 mil signing bonus and $3 million buyout before '28.

if the slump seems historic, it is:

Why are you arguing about a guy on the Sacramento A’s?

This is non competitive slop. I’m done saying they are better than this. There’s something fundamentally wrong when everyone loses their ability to produce at the same time.
