It is when he leaves her for another gal 6 months later.

Rob Long expressed after the acquisitions by Toronto the O's will be facing some high level pitching talent for all 4 games. Not sure I agree....

Ok lets say top 3 prospects, much higher for a rental. Verlander took 103 pitches to get through 5.1 innings. You are correct there isn't anyone available that I would give any of our top 3. I watched Hader close yesterday.. he was disappointing to watch as well. But one game likely isn't a good bar to use.

Every available pitcher has some warts. If I am giving up a top 3-5 prospect, I want a wart free pitcher. Someone who gets past 6 innings regularly and at times through 7. Even Verlander only went 5.1 yesterday.. don't know if that could be related to trade possibilities.. but disappointing if not.

Latest On Justin Verlander By Steve Adams | July 30, 2023 at 5:50pm CDT Following the Mets’ trade of Max Scherzer to the Rangers led to further increased speculation about a trade of fellow high-priced, multi-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander. Several teams have been tied to the nine-time All-Star, including the Rangers, Astros and Dodgers. However, Andy Martino of SNY reports that the Mets value Verlander much differently than Scherzer. They’ve placed a higher asking price in terms of prospects and aren’t willing to pay down salary to the same extent they were in order to move Scherzer.

What is Sig's role in the organization? He can only persuade?

Wow.. that is so disappointing..

Well the fact that we are losing Gibson next year helps.

We can afford the deal Texas got for Max? What prospect of ours would be in the neighborhood of what Texas gave up?

You'd think that Dodger game would have been cemented into their mind.

He's been pretty good since the middle of June.

Pitching is obviously a major need, but I will point out once again, our offense is not going to get us to the promised land. I posted recently that we have had 19 games with eight hits or less in the last 30, and last night, five hits, some of them in the same inning, Hitless the rest of the game. But I don't really know who's available that can make a substantial difference, so perhaps pitching should be the focus and try to win every game 3-2

McKenna can pitch right?

Fly ball Picher isn't where the league is at.

Is it just me? I think Wells will not be successful being a flyball pitcher.

Was....

If we don't make any moves for a starter... would you consider trying him there again... or we're happy for him to fill his current role?

Sir_Loin is only hangout fakelore now?

I'm still rooting against Elway... oops wrong arena....

Quintana?

Interesting to see how they play his player option for 2024. If the Rangers could get him as a rental for $15M that would awesome for them... but Max doesn't want that path based on previous remarks.

Agreed. Can_of_corn's commentary no matter how true, still requires some parameters for it to work for us. But those in charge have to see a trip to the WS is in sight. Have to push the right buttons for it to be realized.

He already said he had plans to talk wit them about their future plans.. I suppose this is their answer.

Don't misunderstand me, I don't want Verlander at any cost. I want him at the right cost. I prefer taking on $$$ and keeping higher level prospects if that's an option. I would send Tyler Wells and Mountcastle back as part of a deal.. Would Alonzo agree to DH all the time? lol
