MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Hosmer? I’m just hearing his name now, and it doesn’t make sense.

Yep. Now if they can get Rendon back, they could have arguably the 4 worst contracts in baseball

 

[RubinRock]

...and they get Tatis back in a couple weeks

Give him about 1 week before hes back on the IL

 

[Big Al Rogorson]

I like how that movie pretty well ignores Miguel Tejada, Eric Chavez and Zito-Hudson-Mulder

He walks through (Beane/Pitt) the clubhouse in one scene & tells Hudson to trust his slider & tells the other players sitting with him to leave him alone.

Easy now. I have him stashed in 2 fantasy leagues.

 

[gobigred]

That’s insulting






to the cripples

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Low % play

There’s obviously situations where a single is preferable to a walk, but most of the time, they serve the same purpose. Nobody was gonna pitch to Soto with a runner on second with two outs with the Nats this year

Ozuna.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Ozuna.

Not near as long or for near as much money

 

[RubinRock]

 

[DragonFromTo]

Nobody gets thrown out at third on a walk either

Little League World Series is coming up, one of the aggressive teams will probably do it

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Now I kinda hope he stays and becomes a locker room distraction

 

[White Knight]

Holy fucking robbery by SD.

They are serious about making the playoffs.

I have my 1B coach send kids to 2nd at least once every single game. If I have a runner on 3B then it's a given that we will take 2nd on a walk.

 

[DragonFromTo]

It's wild how often the "sources" don't know this kind of stuff when they provide the original info

 

[RP-29]

Nb4 we learn the Dodgers are actually landing Soto an hour from now

...standing by...

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

If Eric Hosmer doesn’t waive his no trade clause and the deal goes through, it’s gonna be hilarious. He’d be public enemy number one in San Diego for the rest of his life

 

[steelerssb]

Now I know this guy didn't just compare some random 19-year-old to Willie McCovey

 

[steelerssb]

Ozzie Guillen was right.

I'm assuming that is an extreme upside comp (an "if everything goes perfectly it could look like _____" type of thing).

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

That

Ozzie Guillen was right.

Jon Heyman is a bitch?

Agreed
