Padres overpaid like crazy for Adam.

Lesko is not the guy he once was. His control is just completely gone and his stuff is significantly worse. He has walked 52 in 69 2/3IP and I've read people saying his fastball is more 92MPH than the mid 90s it was before.

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

Did they? He's a lights out late inning RP with multiple years of control, and he's super cheap, which is particularly important for them due to their luxury tax situation (I believe).

They gave up three players, one is which is their #1 prospect. Adam is great but dang. That's bad news for the reliever market.

What does Elias do next?  Add a starter, a reliever, a RHH OF, dip into our system for reinforcements, or something else entirely?

Hopefully all of the above. 

My personal next priority is a top tier reliever. We gotta win the games we have leads in.

Mounty with a nice game today. Couple of big defensive plays, 2 hits, 4 RBIs. I don't know where his power went but if he's not going to hit home runs, this will do. 

I'm extremely skeptical that he will be traded.

Saved Gunnar a 3rd error on a ball in the dirt to first also. He's staying.

I feel like Tanner Scott would fit so well in our bullpen. Can close to take pressure off of Kimbrel, plus he pairs well with Dominguez as a LH/RH flamethrower. On top of that he slides Cano back to a more comfortable role.

Yeah I just see no way they would hand over 1B duties to a combination of O'Hearn and Mayo in a playoff race.

Burnes? NAH … Burnes is a durable bull dog type. I think he’s worth the risk if you are ever going to on a pitcher. For us Snell is a 2 month rental as he’s not exercising his option. He signed this deal early this season so I’m not sure how you get it’s backloaded. He had a signing bonus so really it was just a 2 year at $32

Its backloaded because of the player option, maybe Hes the next big injury and were on the hook

I am putting my money on Urias as the only other veteran traded. Since the rumor was Mounty/Ced, it will end up being Hays/Urias, because Elias is never in line with the rumor.

The Elias m.o. would be none of the above! I think they have to keep Urias due to the Mateo injury.

Crochet maybe his worst game of the year after putting his juju at risk, and White Sox take one step closer to the Why Not Orioles 21-game streak watch.

Saw Heyman post “in probably his last game with the White Sox…”. Is it that foregone a conclusion? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he didn’t get traded.

      Option decisions …

      By e16bball · Posted

      The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs.

      Do we agree that developing Kjerstad RF, Holliday 2B and Mayo 1B/DH.......

      Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.

      If that’s the case , then they can trade Bradfield for other options

      Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.

      They did guarantee his arbitration years but they didn’t add any years to their control.

      Tis' the season for over the top, which should end around Opening Day... Sign Bregman, move Westburg back to 2B.  Lose O'Hearn and make Kjerstad the LH platoon at 1B along with Mountcastle.  Holliday quickly transitions to CF (because if Merrill can do it, naturally so can Holliday) and Mullins is in RF along with a RHB 1-year FA stopgap while Mayo learns RF in Norfolk.  Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser no change. If someone brings up the subject of defense, kindly look the other way.
