If Houston gets Verlander, our path to the WS will have been reduced a good bit assuming we hold. Unless Texas and Houston play each other somehow...

Yeah.. it will be interesting to see the Scherzer details to have an idea what it would take to get Verlander.

I want Verlander..... still...

Agreed. I don't want to hear any more crap about this guy. He gives you everything..

Fair enough but he only makes it through 6 regularly.

Looking through his game logs, he isn't a measurable improvement over most of our current starters. Has gone 6.1 innings twice in 22 starts, many less than 6. a few really good games, a few bad ones, mostly meh.

She'll see this tweet (yeah right) and giggle.... think to herself hmm... Orioles? Looks up the standings.. and badda boom badda bing he's our series MVP.. lol

Yeah, I don't either..

He's scheduled to start against Gibson a week from tomorrow. Would love to move Gibson to Sunday. He wouldn't even have to relocate.. ha!

I love that guy. For better or worse I trust his instincts.

I want Verlander..

Update.. I am able to watch the pregame...

Thanks. I use MLB.tv... so not not likely an option for me..

Is there any potential bad blood lingering from the last time we pounded them and they threw at two of our guys?

There isn't any place to watch (recorded) this presser?

Only Verlander would get me excited this offseason. Move someone to the pen.

The guys on The Fan said they'd do that trade all day long.. lol.. Apparently they have some euphemism for prospects that has a negative connotation.

Cease wasn't good last night against the Tribe..... of Guardians..

The crew on The Fan seem to think we passed on him because we're going after bigger fish. Just their opinion, no sources.

8 hits or less 19 times in the last 30 games. Should they be standing pat offensively or there isn't really any reasonable upgrades available?

In the past when we saw "interests" posted by various sites we always considered this was a potential propaganda move to drive the price down on who we really want. This doesn't seem to be a consideration anymore.

Is there another 1B we'd consider that is <=> Goldschmidt's production at a lesser price tag? I think we have our 2b 3b SS of the future already here, where else can we upgrade our offense?

Yeah... I was thinking we may entertain bringing on Goldschmidt who has another year until Mayo is ready and use our 1b resources to get some pitching.. but that would break up the clubhouse somewhat, how important do you think Elias considers that?

I think the sane reason Mounty was put back into the lineup immediately after his horrible AAA rehab... to build value before the trade deadline. Or at least to know if they can produce before trading away other pieces. As you said, otherwise it make no sense.
