I suspect that the point at which a major league ballplayer complains of a little soreness is the point when most of us would be in the ER for unbearable pain.

I'm going to say it varies from person to person.

For instance I don't think Fred Lynn had an abnormally high pain tolerance.

He's never been off the 60 day IL.

He was on a minor league rehab assignment but still on the IL.

Obviously that ends now.   So if he gets healthy enough to try to play again, he could start a new minor league rehab assignment that would last up to 20 days.

I'm sure they need a doctor's approval for this so they can't play games.

Mark Trumbo....13.5 million this year  with the absolute best free medical and surgical and rehab care provided in the world....1.5 million guaranteed each of next three years...65.1 million total ...Mark will be just fine.  

If one of us on this board (or the vast majority of Americans) gets sick and can't work....hmmm...good luck.  Maybe we can go on FMLA, no short or long term disability, health insurance doesn't cover the costs, bankruptcy, loss of job without a pension, etc.    

some message in there someplace about our collective values.

Not only do we get to pay for Trumbo, we also get to pay for his PRP injections, which have a sketchy record of actually working. I am not exactly sure what Trumbo's injury is, but based on (my admittedly amateur) internet search it seems that at best there is some evidence that PRP injections may provide short term relief of knee osteoarthritis, but not any long-term help. The overall picture  is of lots of demand for, use of, and money being made from PRP based on very little evidence it is actually effective.

It works better in Germany.

Bet Trumbo gets a knee replacement by the time he is 40 years old.

Trumbo in the interview I just read seems very unsure if he will make it back to play.It is a little sad.

 

From the Sun:

You want to remain optimistic as long as you can until things just tell you that it’s not in the cards.” A candid Mark Trumbo on what’s next:

Yeah, it's in Roch's latest blog as well. He even said he might soon have to discuss what's best with his family. Sounds like he's just going through the process until there's no process left. Mentioned that the arthritis might be a bigger issue than the surgery.

    • Too many eggs in one basket for me.  Usually you either go quantity or quality.  This feels like both quality and quantity.  You are trading away 3 possibly 4 guys that can go directly into their starting lineup.  You never see a 4 for 1 with that much major league ready guys.  It usually 1 or 2 major league guys then a few lottery tickets with some upside.   Cease got you one major league ready prospect, a 21 year old decent pitcher in AA, A young toolsy outfielder in A ball and a 29 year old relief pitcher in the majors.  
    • I'm going to disagree because I don't think hit for average is considered an "elite athlete" tool.  Elly De La Cruz is an elite athlete, so was Bubba Starling.  Mateo is an Elite athlete. You can be an elite athlete and still not be a good ML player.  
    • I think when people say "elite athlete" about a baseball player, they mean that someone has the proverbial five tools--hit for average, hit for power, run, throw, field.   Someone like (say) Ronald Acuna Jr. or Gunnar Henderson.    Obviously there are great baseball players who never had all five tools (Frank Thomas) and players who were elite athletes who could have been better had they mastered other skills such as plate discipline (Adam Jones).   The "five tools" framework means that most catching prospects, including Basallo, will never be considered to be elite athletes, because they lack top-grade speed.   And it's rare that you would hear a pitcher described as an "elite athlete".  
    • They are not going to trade Holliday for one starter.  They need a couple of bullpen arms before a starter.
    • It's closer than the vote totals seem to indicate IMO.  I honestly wouldn't be against it because I do think Crochet is top shelf talent.  And it does cash out some strong/buried assets too. I landed on appreciating what Cowser adds all around vs. questioning the bump he'd provide for 2024.  
    • If Skubal is truly on the table, I’m definitely of the mindset to give up one of the big three as a trade centerpiece. For me, that’s Holliday given the potential of Mayo slotting at 3B and Westy moving back to 2B. Skubal is exactly what we need to go win a WS this year. 
    • Where's @DirtyBird to downvote everyone that's saying 2/3 is fine? I hate Oakland.  Hate, hate, hate Oakland.  Every year it seems that they give us fits for no good reason, especially in their place.  And @Frobbythat's not an invite for you to go do research and be like "well, actually" if I'm wrong.   I can't name 5 players on their team and I'm sure they'll give us fits this weekend.  But I see Brent Rooker is still on the team.  If he doesn't have 5 homers and 20 RBI against us this weekend, I'll be surprised.
