MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Is love nothing more than Almora to become a .280 hitter with gold glove defense in CF. I just don't know if it will happen.

[Auz]

Almora constantly features on the milb highlights for his OF plays but his bat isn't where it needs to be. At this stage he's a 4th outfielder.


Edwards isn't setting the world on fire either. At the moment I think the number 1 pitcher would be Pierce Johnson, closely followed by Underwood.

[Coldneck]

Yep. I don't think a package of Edwards and Almora would be near enough for Gomez. Perhaps if a Cease type was also included the deal might interest the Brewers.

Sounds like Toronto may get Price.  That's probably best case scenario in terms of teams that could land him now that could struggle to keep him after the season.

[rok]

I would be ok with that. Plus it takes away the attached draft pick compensation if we decide to pursue him in the offseason.

So crap ass teams like Texas and the Mets both of whom are not making the playoffs are making moves...will we get in the mix?

[rok]

Que? The Mets haven't done much to improve their team for 2015 unless you count the trade that never was, and the Rangers just traded 1/2 their farm system plus Harrison for Cole Hamels and are still 4 games below .500.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

If we do, it will be a move for the future, like that "crap ass" team Texas made for Hamels.

Seeing deals like this actually make me happy that the FO isn't desperate. Price is a 2 month rental and Norris is pretty close to a sure thing. Crazy.

[Kid]

Can I get a ruling here?  Are the Blue Jays crap ass?

[gobigred]

another team at 500 making big moves...I just want castro gone

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

SELL LOW! I CRAVE ACTION!!1!

.500 records mean different things to different teams depending on where they stand within the timeline of their respective competitive window.

[Kid]

Yeesh.  It's Willis 2: Electric Boogaloo.
