I really hope Naylor works out. Seems like a great dude.

This kid is so likeable. He plays all out like Jose, but with a smile. Both guys effort is contagious for sure.

Bradley Zimmer for Shohei Ohtani. Who says no?

i am not sure about that trade, I would hate to see Zimmer finally put it together for another team and all we get out of it is Ohtani.

There is a very real chance the Clevinger trade will net 1/3rd of the lineup in a few days and almost 20% of the 26 man roster. Average age of those guys is only 25 too.

And that's not even touching the 21 year old top 100 SS prospect currently slashing .282/.429/.462 in AAA after never playing above A ball prior to 2021 or the 21 year old starter that was carving up AAA hitters at the alt site.

Somewhere Vinnie Pestano is sitting back knowing he played a part in all of this

I was so unbelievably wrong about this trade. The only part I was excited about was Arias.

I believe @BimboColesHair told us to keep an eye out on Cantillo as a sleeper as well

What a day -- Kingman v Chris Carter talk!?!
We're baseball fans...

Hey, Chris Carter was a damn good wide receiver . . . . Oh, wait . . .

Any thoughts on reuniting with a former farmhand?

Cubs DFA Tony Wolters, Select P.J. Higgins

The Cubs made a change at their backup catcher spot today, selecting P.J. Higgins from Triple-A and designating veteran Tony …

They would definitely have to throw in somebody else. Not Trout - let's be realistic.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

I actually have him 4th

1. Trout - 2.5
2. Vlad Jr. - 2.4
3. Bogaerts - 2.2
4. Ohtani - 2.0

Who was the last MVP from a sub-500 team?

I think Abreu should be in the conversation; 33 RBI's in 38 games for the team with the best record and best offense in the A.L. With Eloy Jimenez out and now Luis Robert the Sox have not missed a beat.

I am not sure Trout shouldnt be on the table. I mean Zimmer is a once in a lifetime prospect, unlike Ohtani, I am hearing things that Zimmer is doing in the minors that hasnt been done since Babe. (you know the pig from that movie)

Who was the last MVP from a sub-500 team?

1991 Orioles, Cal Ripken, Jr. Orioles' record: 67-95 (6th in the AL East)
2003 Rangers, Alex Rodriguez Rangers' record: 71-91 (4th in the AL West)
2015 Nationals, Bryce Harper Nationals' record: 83-79 (2nd in the NL East)
2019 Angels, Mike Trout Angels' record: 72-90 (4th in the AL West)

Throw in Rendon along with a player to be named later.

Predictions for tomorrow

Carlos Vargas to the 60 day IL
Owen Miller and Ernie Clement recalled
Yu Chang and Jean Carlos Mejia demoted

I'm doubting the recall of Ernie Clement at this point. He left the game back on Thursday 5/13 due to a leg issue & has not played since.
I would assume CLE would want to be sure Ernie is capable of playing (even just a game) before he gets called up to the majors.

Would be mighty nice to drive a nail into the Twins' coffin this weekend.
