What wouldn't be a failed approach, though? Is throwing an offer at Rodon that is so far above the market that he has "no choice" but to come to a mediocre team the right decision? edit - Spotrac has Rodon at $31m/yr. To get him to MN, $35M+?

That's funny, I feel exactly the opposite. The league is so "bottom heavy" that there are far more potential buyers than sellers. And almost everyone is looking for starting and relief pitching. We thought that Bumgardner and Bauer were going to be on the market, and now they aren't. The Mets want a King's ransom for Syndegaard.

After his hot streak, Dozier now has an OPS of .804, which is good for 9th in MLB among 2nd basemen.

Two impressive pop-ups from our 3 and 4 hitters.

The rain is really light. It won't be done until 6pm eastern or so, but they can likely play through it. Probably should have just started on time.

Looks like the rain may start about 30 min in or so. Not too heavy, but they may stop it.
