AC is an Oriole.  Does he come with a bayside wrestling singlet

I guess Elias didn't know that Slater has committed to wrestle at Iowa.

Can he pitch out of the BP?

I'm pretty sure he can't pitch or hit.

Should have traded for Brett Phillips.  Dude's throwing GAS now.

Gregory Soto

There's the Kevin Pillar character.

Yeah, this is the take. He’s the RH-hitting CF-capable type that they’ve been fixated on for some time.

122 career wRC+ against LHPs and a solidly average career record as a CF defender. 

[Orange]

Solid RH veteran OF with a career OPS+ of 102. Played in SF until this year. Struggling so far in 2024 and is 31 years old.

Who does he replace? Who does Eloy replace?

Oh boy. Help me understand the Slater deal. Soto for Johnson is fine..

[GoldGlove21]

Soto's ERA was solid before getting lit up for 3 in one inning last night. He could help

Speaking of SF, I would have loved to get Yaz back.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Either of these last two guys have options?

Only money changing hands on Slater it seems. Who are we sending down? Is a player hurt that we are unaware of?

[24fps]

Hahaha..

Somebody take the crack pipe away from Mike.
