I hope not. I'd rather just see Mayo promoted and given significant at bats.

How many healthy pitchers does LAD have now?  Kershaw counts as half until he makes it 6 IP.

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. 

I fractured my middle finger in my shooting hand playing high school basketball. Of course that was many years ago and like childbirth, the memories of the pain dissipate, but I taped it up and kept playing the rest of the season. I would argue that I endured more contact of the hand playing basketball then you would a non throwing hand in baseball as a pitcher. To be fair, some men are tougher than others.

Mullins out of the lineup for a second straight day.

Blue Jays trade reliever Yimi Garcia to Mariners (sportsnet.ca)

[Malike]

I'm expecting something big from the Yankees at some point soon.

Ugh, right now it looks like the Orioles don't want to go for it and is really looking to protect the teams future, but I say, the time is now to make the big deal and stop focusing on these minor tinkering transactions.

Yeah... Rooker is mainly a DH, and I had simply forgot that when thinking about a new LF upgrade over Hays.  A RH LF/RF bat would be nice.

You’re assuming a lot. The price tag goes up by quite a bit when you start talking about premier trade targets. For example, the trade packages I’ve seen here and elsewhere for Skubal have been absolutely wild to me. I’d love to see a guy like that here but not if it means giving up 10+ years of potential superstar level players.

[Roll Tide]

I’m not understanding why we weren’t in on Yimi Garcia….Clase is a 45 FV player that’s now #7 in the blue jays system and c Jacob Sharp is 22 in A ball not in the top 30. 
 

He’s a rental but not a very big price tag … Probably could’ve sent Tavera and a non top30.

[LockUpTheGunner]

After making two trades, are the Orioles done making moves? I sure hope not! I would love for the Orioles to aquire one more starter and one more reliever. I really want the good stater from Detroit.

If they don't start hitting, the pitching won't matter. 

[LGOrioles]

At least it’s glaringly obvious they still need another back end reliever, if it wasn’t already.
