Cleveland arrives off a hot week where they gained AL1 position over the Eastern leaders. Team Stats - their RP are 1st of 30 by fWAR, and their SP are 30th of 30 by fWAR, so pitching that is as 2014 Royals vibe as it gets. Tanner Bibee is the only one out of the Bieber-Bibee-Gavin Williams top of rotation plan to be present in midseason, and he leads off the series. Steven Kwan has taken the baton from Luis Arraez. Adley's college teammate's .400 quest will snowball as a story if he stays in range after the All-Star break. David Fry is maybe the league's most random fantastic year out of nowhere, but he made a midgame exit yesterday. For a change they are not leading the league in lowest K%, but they are still Top 5. Their offensive style has for a lot of years anchored on contact skill, but they don't hit for much power. Jose Ramirez is doing that Marcus Semien thing just stacking those big seasons into the early 30's racing up the Hall of Fame credentials ladder. I don't believe CLE overall is near as strong as BAL-NYY but they have banked a lot of wins. Their 75 team games YTD is the MLB low, so a lot of offdays and/or rainouts, but a lot of grind ahead for those top relievers who have already been taxed a lot this season. -
The Plan may include promoting players from AAA. -

Yea but I don’t think you do that yet. Right now, I would pencil him into the rotation for 2025, so I want him to continue to build up innings and learn. That said, the last 6-8 weeks of the season? Yea he may be in the pen at that point. -

Hey it's tough to win a World Series, or even to put together a roster that would be considered a WS favorite Injuries are unfortunate and have left the O's with a significant pitching deficit to WS favorites The problem is that there may not be enough talent available to fix the problem, especially because many teams will be bidding for the same talent Will be very interesting to see what move Elias makes, and the time to get either ecstatic or critical will be after the moves. -

Who knows. I would say if they even considered it, I would guess they would ask, at minimum, the leaders in the locker room (if not the whole team) if they are ok with it. -
Get a hold of yourself Roy. It’s one bad series. -
