Revenge on the team that drafted him, developed him and that he rewarded their efforts with -2.8 rWAR worth of production? I don't think anyone can blame the Royals for cutting bait.

I'd sell now, I can't see the price holding at that level.

Pitching to contact is for guys that can't get strikeouts.

They saw how much grief Dan got for trying to get rid of the Cutter and they were scared of the backlash!

Yea, I'd try and dodge that one. Now if it was Much Ado About Nothing, I'm there.

My guess is the career numbers of both players are being weighted more heavily than the results thus far this season.

I'm sure you can come up with your definition of "high round" and figure this out for yourself. Heck you can decide to include the pitchers the Astros drafted when he was working for them if you like. My definition of high round would be...top 3 rounds maybe? In which case: 2019-0 (8th round) 2020-0 (5th round) 2021-0 (5th round) 2022-0 (5th round)

I think they accepted the splits since it was the main reason the price in prospects was as low as it was.

Or a home ballpark suited to his pitching style.

I thought about discussing the word choice but produce could be meant a number of different ways.

It's not like they had two highly regarded former first round pitchers in the system when they arrived and have been picking high in the draft every year since. You should temper your expectations.

Does McCann DH?

He was. He recovered from the injury and is playing in the minors. He's not on a rehab assignment.

The Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes.

He's not rehabbing. They'd have to put him back on the IL first.

Him and TopGunnar are busy strategizing.

Or maybe it's just hot and cold stretches.

What are they performing?

Sure they don't "know" but I bet they have some pretty detailed analysis about when the date will fall.

I would be surprised to find out that the Reds promoted De La Cruz right before the cutoff.

I'm inclined to think that the Super 2 deadline has passed.

Is a contender going to look to make him a starter?

Elias tends to give out as little information as possible.
