What on earth makes you think Justin Dirden would be playable in the majors right now? He has a wRC+ of 84 in AAA this season and a .209 ops this...
Jairo Solis had a good outing last night, up to 97 on the fb and only 2 hard hit fair balls neither of which were in the air. Similar to Whitley...
Julks and Pena have struck out in 22-23% of their pa this season in the majors. Dirden and Leon have struck out in 28% of their pa IN AAA. Don’t...
Those career numbers include Cease’s rookie year (when he was just 23) and the fluky pandemic year. The last 3 seasons he has pitched like either...
Astros get: SP Justin Verlander (his vesting option becomes a guaranteed year) RP Brooks Raley DH Dan Vogelbach $40M Mets get: OF Jake Meyers OF...
Yes, he’s been lucky. His .380 wOBA is about how productive guys like Ohtani, Acuna, Betts, and Goldschmidt have been over the last 5 seasons;...
A Chas trade that I think might be fair and make some sense (assuming Houston either gets Brantley back or trades for another bat): Phillies get:...
I don’t know about untouchable, but unless you believe McCormicks 2023 performance is the result of favorable matchups, he should be viewed as a...
Looking at prospect values a lot leading up to the trade deadline, while Houston only has one prospect (Gilbert) on most top 100 lists, I think...

I would be really surprised. They have depth guys performing well and they’re about to trade for another SP. Plus Arrighetti is ahead of him....
Zach Cole hit 2 HR today in his High A debut. Ryan Clifford also hit a HR. Logan Cerny has a .996 ops in July. It has come in spite of a 40% k...
Looking back at prior years I think it might just seem like there’s a lot of teenage talent because 2020 killed a year for teenagers; there were...
KC isn’t going to trade away the primary pieces of their burgeoning core. They’re in a weak division. They will trade Barlow and maybe some...
No, at this point Greinke is no better than France/Urquidy/Bielak/Blanco/Dubin/Arrighetti.
Happ/Gilbert/Suzuki is a pretty solid OF projection with Morel as the 4th guy. Their IF is pretty solid as well (Mervis, Hoerner, Swanson,...
I would probably give up Gilbert as the headliner for Stroman, Bellinger, and Leiter, but I wouldn’t give up a lot more with him. I really don’t...
IL stint after they add a pitcher at the deadline.
9 more days. State of the market: Full sellers: A’s, Royals, White Sox, Royals, Tigers, Nats, Pirates, Rockies Sell/Buy (sell short term...
I get the sense Gross feels really confident that he’s isolated the traits that are most key in predicting MLB outcomes for prospects. He’s been...
