Gotta a really good player too. Cross them of the sellers list.

They are probably still sellers.  They are not making playoffs this season to get to 85 wins they have to go 34-19 and that is still not gonna make it.

The Rangers getting swept by the Jays is going to make their decision hard.  They can’t play the White Sox every game to get in the race.  It may be a 2 game series against Cardinals that makes their decision, lose them both you sell, split depends what Astros Mariners do and take both stay in it.

Should make it pretty clear that Steele is not available though.

I think they are retooling for a competitive run next year, they aren't going anywhere this season.

All of Taillon/Bellinger/Neris/Leiter/Nico are still probably available but only if it makes them better in 2025. Not that it matters for you guys, but I think the odds Nico is dealt at the deadline or this offseason has risen a good bit today.

I wonder if we are awaiting Texas's decision to open up Yates and Robertson before pulling the trigger on Scott.

They are still only 4.5 back in the division, I wouldn't be shocked if they added, they have a lot of good arms coming back really soon.

Yes should have been more clear, I dont see them moving on from the starters that have been talked about around here

Absolutely, they clearly think next year is year 1 of their next competitive window.

They thought they might sneak in this year, but the plan failed, so now they're loading up for 2025 and beyond.

I don't think Nico will go anywhere and I suspect Taillon stays put in the rotation as well. The others will probably go though.

Speaking of which, what do you want for Leiter? 😉

If they are going for it in 2025 why would they trade anyone who isn't a free agent after this year? Makes most sense to stand pat and reinforce through free agency.

A team that values him at his peripherals and not his ERA.

He's a step down, and Mayo does seem to be very poor.

Agree on Mayo.  On O'Hearn he is likely to get better with reps.  Santander was surprisingly decent there last year too.  I would let Mounty go for the right deal.

    • I think a lot of the problem is that the hitters trained on the ABS system are falling behind in the count because pitches that are outside the strike zone are being called strikes. Having a count go 1-1 instead of 2-0 is huge for a hitter.
    • I've certainly seen a LOT of called strike threes taken on balls in the middle of the plate, which is perplexing.   Sure, you can be looking fastball and be frozen by a breaking ball, but with two strikes you just can't do it.   Once again this is just eye test, general impression, but it sure seems to happen to us too much lately.
    • In the beginning of the year the team had the best hitting team in baseball but were never walking and near the bottom.  There was lots of complaining about how they don’t walk enough to be a better lineup.  The second half of the year they are near the top of the league in walks and there hitting has fallen off.  You would think with more walks and taking pitches they would be hitting better.  Are they walking to much and not being aggressive like they were earlier in the year?   
    • I agree with all that you wrote, I was just surprised so few teams go past 45K.
    • The capacity situation is affected by 3 trends, I believes:    -- newer stadiums being built tend to have fewer have fewer seats (and OPACY is now one of the 10 oldest ballparks in the major leagues)    -- stadiummodifications usually result in capacity going down:   for bigger playing field (like Baltimore), or for more club/luxury seating or entertainment areas replacing denser regular seating areas)    -- some teams just deciding never to sell some seats so I guess they no longer count in capacity (like that entire top deck in the outfield in Oakland).   I mean, I'm sure they could FIT way more than 25K humans comfortably in the Trop, they obviously have some seating areas they just bother to print tickets for and sell because they know they'll never sell them, so I guess that doesn't count in capacity.   Now at Oriole Park they only sell the LF upper deck seats these days when a big crowd is expected... but those seats still count towards capacity even in games where they choose not to make them available.
    • As if more AB's for Jimenez would help
    • It wasn't an impressive list before Elias traded some away.
