With Willy back tomorrow there almost has to be a trade or Vic being sent down in the next ~24 hours. I suppose they could go 3 catchers and send Bote down and have Willy play OF. But I’m guessing a Vic trade or send down is more likely. Have we given up on the idea of punting Descalso into the sun...

If it is Lange, what else would it cost for a rental like Castellanos? :shrugs: I can't imagine much to rent a corner bat. Maybe a couple DSL/AZLers? Zagunis or Short or Giambrone? Maybe someone from the Miller/Abbott/Richan/Thompson/Assad pool? Nothing but Lange would be sweet if this happens He’s...

Castellanos was taken out of the game in the 8th tonight, they were down like 13 so maybe just being safe. But worth monitoring.

Do it

I wonder if the Marlins would deal Garrett Cooper. I was intrigued in May but I figured he would cool off. Hes done the opposite. May wRC+ 112 June 165 July 181 Hes 28 with just 1 year of service time. Looks to be playable in COF. Not looking like a platoon guy either. The fact that his breakout ha...

The pitching plan seems to be to bore lineups into submission These guys talked about power pitching way back when they were hired...This year’s pitching seems less that than ever even if Darvish ends up good to go Did they, though? I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but I don't recall that being...

Sounds like he’s either on his way back up (for Randy I’d suspect) or has been cut

Good news

The Tigers have 7 wins since June 1, which is roughly 130 loss pace.

If they trade Vic, they damn well better get something pretty good. He can hit, is a switch-hitter decent from both sides, and his overall D and framing have really improved this season. I’m fine letting some team dream on him being a starting caliber catcher and selling highish. He has a career 87...

Carl is pretty much ready to come back, iirc, I think he’s scheduled to go in Iowa tomorrow. Would assume he’s up Soon.

Wonder if they were talking something like Monty, Vic, Happ, Amaya and some other prospects for Whit and Maldonado.

Something has to be up. Either Willy is more hurt than missing only 10 days, which with Gryzlo maybe he is, or else Vic almost has to be close to being moved. We have 3 off days in the next 14 days, they could’ve just called up Davis and let Vic start pretty much every game if it was only 10 days wi...

He has a 115 wRC+ so yeah he’s been just plain good. That’s the same wRC+ as Lindor and within 1 point of Harper and Story.
