Oh well. Let's see how they do in this next series. I personally think this next series will tell us everything we need to know about whether this team can handle the playoff type pressure.

They could feel it and they stumbled the last two nights. Now we'll see if they bounce back.

    • Draft the best player available and go from there. If you end up with a surplus of position players, trade then for pitching, and vice versa.
    • If you're talking about a bold trade of a ML player, how about Santander as part of a buyers and sellers route? He's just had a huge June (although somehow he did not make the MLB team of the month) and his OPS is now way above the league average.  Maybe he could go to a team like Seattle that can use bats and has arms.  I'd like a trade for a 2024 pennant piece, but I'd also be OK if the return was similar to the Lopez trade with another reliever they can use immediately. The trade makes room in the OF where the team needs it (RF) and helps for 2025 without hurting too much for 2024. As the buy side, they could then trade Stowers or Norby for a top starter or lesser prospects for a mid-range guy. 
    • If the Rangers drop out if it, is anybody interested in a rental like Kirby Yates?
    • McDermott certainly is just about unhittable when he's on his game.  This one's right up there with his 6.2 inning no hitter in early May.  He's coming up on a full year in AAA (promoted for a July 15 start last year).   At this point I'd say he's in play to help the major league team if needed.   He's still not a finished product, but he could compete in the majors IMO.
    • Players I would trade, ie I would value the potential return more than the player:  Cowser, Norby, Stowers, Beavers, Fabian, Liranzo, Cook, Willems Players I would trade for bags of balls (but unlikely to bring anything back): Urias, Hays, Akin Players I would not trade, ie I value them more than any package we would likely receive: Gunnar, Adley, Burnes, Grayson, Bradish, Felix, Holliday, Mayo, Basallo, Povich, McDermott, Etzel Everyone else I would consider trading but would have to be for the right return which means they are unlikely trade candidates. In my ideal world, we would get a reliever for Beavers and Cook, and a starter for Norby and Stowers.
    • I don’t think Baseball Savant is the best measure of first base defense. It only considers plays where first baseman is the first player to touch ball and doesn’t consider receiving throws at all.  For this reason, I think DRS is better for first base.
    • Elias isn’t doing anything close to that for 2 years of control
