If Vaquero is suddenly figuring it out, that would indeed be remarkable. We are short on things to get excited about in the minors right now.

But this is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the return for Garcia & Chafin. Maybe not worth it considering the crime scene that's going to be left behind?
And they can't even pick top 10...
I'd just like to point out how difficult it is to enter a game with an ERA of 12 and raise it almost instantly by a full run. Quite an accomplishment.

Watching Kevin Frandsen interview Brady House is like watching an episode of the Chris Farley show.

If you let them reposition it as the obsession of Debs and the MSM, then MAGA will flip its perspective and give him a pass.
I know people hate hearing his voice and it’s fine if you don’t want to, but listening to how he talks about her lips is somehow even 10 times worse than this caption. bsky.app/profile/atru...

And it'll start by discrediting the old (accurate) #s.
After the Nats released or traded every reliever who isn't under long-term control, it feels like these are the kinds of guys we're going to see showing up on their roster in the days ahead.

You know, of course, that the owners only pay lip service to wanting revenue balance.
Their behavior tells you what they really care about is profit balance.
Or more specifically, guaranteed annual profit growth without risk.
My biggest trade deadline disappointment:
Rizzo has not shown up behind the desk at MLB Network.
No take for Josh Bell?
