To me he's a huge improvement over Kremer, Saurez and Povich in the 3-5. Those three and the team have been fading. Could use another SP.

Yes. Fabian's been heating up lately but we're in a win now situation. Kikuchi is a rental, though.

Yeah I'd love to him him. Miller's got 5 years of control after this year. His statcast info is underwhelming but the results are good.

6 Years of Holliday should be easily worth 2.3 years of Skubal. If I'm Elias I wouldn't make that offer, because thats alot of value.

I was getting them Saturday. None since.

Bob Nightengale reported over the weekend that the Yankees and Red Sox were looking at starter Jameson Taillon, who’ll make $18MM annually between 2025-26.

I guess you can't fault the Pirates for trying to sell high on a reliever. Still....no.

I think a number of teams will be in on Taillon. So this trade probably wont be enough for the Cub's.

I just watched it. I was expecting worse reading the comments.

I tend to focus on FIP stats with minor league pitchers because the defense can be pretty terrible in the lower levels. His HR9 of 0.8 looks pretty good to me as well. All things considered he seems to be having a strong year.

Urias has a 1.016 OPS in 31 PA's in July, so he's actually been one of the better hitters this month.

Got another SP to watch. Blake Money, 6-7 240, drafted in the 12th Rd in 2023. He's got his BB9 down to a career low of 2.1, Also his K9 is the highest its ever been. Doing this in a season high of 71.2 Innings. Still only 22.

Thier both having disappointing years, so it looks like Elias has decided to roll the dice with some of the blocked prospects. Assuming he can get something in return for them.

they aren' Yes would do it, especially since Mountcastle is now OPS'ing .742 and Santander is in his last few months as an Oriole, but Seattle isnt trading Kirby for that package. Even if you added both Norby and Stowers. Trading those 4 at the same time would hurt the O's lineup this year anyway. Unless you got some unusually good pitching in return.

I think Mullins may like to have a word about this.
