Maybe but that prospect sure looks like a long shot boom or bust 1B/DH Type.

Sorry if it's been posted before, but for those (like me) who had missed it, Mason Miller's pinky fracture was on his non-throwing (left) hand.

Or maybe Elias wasn’t interested in Puk.

That’s possible too.  Again, I hope he doesn’t miss out on, maybe not the perfect pitcher of his choice, while the player he really wants doesn’t get moved until 5 minutes before the deadline and we miss out to another team.

Already know …. It wouldn’t keep me from getting him at the right price

I agree but you know what I’m getting at.

If they were in a playoff race, they wouldn’t have put him on the IL. Most men would say wrap that shit up and let’s go. I don’t think it effects his value at all to teams wanting to trade, but as much as we would like to see him on the Os it is going to cost a lot and I’m not sure most of us could stomach the price.

Have you ever caught a ball in your glove with a broken finger? 
 

im guessing not …. But I have it was only competitive softball and I was pitching. It was excruciating on anything hit solidly back at me. Thankfully it subsided in a week without playing. Mine was a fracture of the ring finger at the knuckle. The 5th meta carpal is the bone behind the pinky in your hand. So I’m imagining it might not be as band depending on the grade of the break.

Right... the injury is not going to be an issue.  The cost, as always is the determining factor.  A ToR is more important to me, but a potentially great closer for 5 more seasons equals .

I love the Arozarena for the Mariners and it's nice for us that the Rays are selling off core pieces. 

At least until the prospects they got back develop into stars in a few years anyway.

[interloper]

So far:

RP Harvey to Royals
SP Civale to Brewers
RP Puk to D-backs
OF Arozarena to Mariners
SP Paxton to Sox

At this point, I’m just holding on to hope that this is the last time through the rotation where we have to go Kremer/Suarez/bombs away 5th starter. The combination of that 3 has been deadly! And not in any kind of good way.

[Rbiggs2525]

Wait it’s not as easy as Billy Beane made it seem in Moneyball? Seemed like he got Rincon in 5 minutes on a whim.

Maybe the first big indication of Snell getting interest that I've seen.

Tampa does a great job building culture but I believe there are only so many morale sessions a high performing ballplayer can take.
