I'd rather just sign José Iglesias.

A little outside the box here, but what about Tyler Glasnow? Pretty sure the Rays won't want to pay him $25 mil next year. He is 29. Plenty of risk, but chance of getting a true ace. Not sure who it would take to get him.

This trade makes perfect sense...if the PTBNL is Lewis, Kiriloff, and Balazovic. He is going to be expensive.

Who would you put in front of him in our rotation? So you are saying he is no where close to as good as his last 2 years say he is? I'm not saying he's an ace...just wondering why you are so sure he is not...

How do you come to this conclusion? Would he be our best pitcher?

They must really be counting on the shift disappearing.

The next Josh Hader baby!

Wouldnt mind giving Cueto and Wacha chances-they both have pitched really well this year...and (? maybe) won't be expensive.

Just sign Verlander and deGrom. Duh.

Is Brooks Lee an extra-terrestrial? Ancient alien theorists say YES.

I thought Johan was good...like amazing. He could throw 3 change-ups in a row and leave the batter clueless. Then I sat behind home plate and watched Liriano pitch (before his injury). He was far dirtier than Johan, and had he not got hurt, I am convinced he would have had a HOF-type career.

not sure if this has been mentioned in any threads, but Duran became the 1st pitcher in MLB history to throw a 100 MPH splitty...

Naughty naughty. That's part of next year too.

Was referring to his offense numbers. He is top 5 in the game.

Point taken...just some food for thought: Lindor hit .230 with an OPS of .734 in his first year with NY... Also...Trea Turner is the best in the business. Seager and Boegarts having very nice years...for losing teams. The other names you mentioned are good players-and are having comparable seasons to Carlos-some on winning teams, some not so much. I agree I would like to see him hit better the last 2 months (and hopefully playoffs).

You may very well be correct on all points. However: 1) Verlander signing with the Twins was/is highly doubtful (for numerous reasons). 2) I'm one of the few who voted the trade deadline as a front office "C." Pitching, especially RP, could have been acquired much more efficiently. SPs are very hit and miss in FA.

This is baseball (and all other sports) every year. Some players are over paid. Some are under paid... according to their stats. But then...there's winning and losing. Would we be in a position to win the division without him? Not so sure...

Tor can hit. Usually Archer's high pitch counts are due to walks...but they are just fouling off a ton of pitches. Can't blame him for that. Now he needs a 10 pitch inn.

Wallner...hitting bombs off LHP.

Hosmer to Red Sox

White Sox got Diekman for him. Great trade.

This would have been such a valuable, affordable deal for us. Bummer!

Welp. Diekman to the White Sox and Vasquez to the Astros. Who needs reliever or catching help? Not us apparently. Let's just sit on our hands. SO frustrating! Do something...anything!

What in the world is Milwaukee doing?

This is all fine and dandy, but are we ever going to have a legitimate shot in the playoffs sticking to this mindset every year?
