    The ole "Oh, if I take this baseball, you're gonna make it worthless? Then I'm gonna take it" strategy is a bold one.

    He and buddies were gonna go to Cedar Point, but the weather looked bad so they went to the Tigers game.

    They weren't aware that CP doesn't open until tomorrow, because they're clearly very smart boys.

    He's been awful. I didn't think he'd be good, but hoped he'd at least be close to quality start range and eat some innings most nights.

    He also signed Ronny Rodriguez, who currently has a higher wRC+ than Mike Trout. I'm looking forward to Rodriguez's inevitable PED suspension at this point.

    Is there a worse every day player in the majors besides Jacoby? He fucking sucks.

    And nice job by Cabrera getting ejected in the first. What a true leader. We are going to miss the one or two singles he would have provided tonight.

    I don't think they'll do anything with Cabrera until he get 3,000 hits and (hopefully) 500 HRs, but he's so clearly not cut out to be the veteran on a rebuilding team, and it's only going to get worse as he gets worse. Those comments were so fucking stupid.

    So what you’re saying is we are stuck with his ass through the 2021 season? I doubt we cut him from those last two seasons. He’s making $32MM in. 2022 and 2023.

    not the greatest source but during a chat on MLB Trade Rumors, their guy said that Boyd is probably the most attractive arm on the market and the conversation should start with a top 50 type prospect. Even at that he also said that they shouldn't trade him this year.

    Said teams aren't sold on Greene yet due to it only being 18 innings but if he keeps it up, there should be a strong market for him as well.

    Also sounds like the Dodgers kicked the tires on Castellanos but the asking price is still too high

    Good stuff. I would only trade Boyd if we got a haul like the White Sox did for Quintana.

    We just need Greene to pitch well for two more months.

    As far as Castellanos goes, we won’t get anything of value for him. Not sure why they are holding out.

    Do the Astros say no to this? Greene and Boyd for Kyle Tucker? Or Boyd and Greene to Milwaukee for Hiura?

    Only one can hope he can be good in the majors. We literally have zero catching prospects besides him.

    Regardless of how well Boyd pitches, it's become incredibly rare that teams give up top 10-20ish position prospects. The Quintana deal doesn't come around very often. I think best case scenario for Boyd is two guys ranked in the 50-125 range, plus maybe a lottery ticket. Even that seems kind of unlikely unless he doesn't fall off at all from the early season performance. Teams just don't give up those top guys anymore.

    Hopefully he continues to hit because our positional prospects have been shit this year. Cameron has an OPS of .710. Paredes has an OPS of .690.

    And it looks like Candelario is not an MLB level player. He’s hitting .200 over past 6 months dating back to last year, with 160 k’s, and a .614 OPS

    For this org, absolutely. An impact bat that should move quicker than anyone else in the draft is pretty much our dream scenario. It's not a surprise that teams would start looking to guys elsewhere on the diamond the closer we get to the draft, but our biggest need is for some kind of middle of the order bat, and we have none of those types right now.

    If we sign Vaughn, be prepared for the rest of the draft to be shit. We likely go over slot, and are forced to reach rest of draft.

    Pretty much a standard Avila draft. His drafts have always been shit after round 1.

    No way he gets past Miami though.

    I don't think Vaughn would cost over slot. He doesn't have much leverage.

    On good teams like the Rays, they hav a reliever start the first inning, and then the starting pitcher pitches from there. I guess strategy is the starter avoids the first 3 batters, or the teams better hitters
