    Allard is somewhat concerning but Soroka, even if he reached his peak potential, was always going to be a Derek Lowe/Brandon Webb/Tim Hudson type of pitcher.

    Washington seems to be spiraling...down 7-0 to the Marlins after 2 1/2 innings.

    Allard has the biggest gap between AA/AAA stats and scouting reports that I can remember in recent history.

    I am really looking forward to seeing real data on his arsenal.

    Word is that the Phillies have moved on from Machado due to asking price but may circle back later

    I really hope all of the potential shoppers in the Machado sweepstakes balk at the price. I am tired of teams being help hostage by exorbitant demands. Might bring some order back in the market.

    looks like the Braves succeeded in driving up the price

    Everyone has moved on... asking price is unrealistic

    Astros just promoted Tucker - word was that they've told everyone he's off-limits no matter who else might be involved.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I kind of hope the Phillies trade for Machado. Drain their farm system for future years.

    There is always that possibility with or without a trade.

    True. I still don't want them adding Machado. If they add Machado and a good starting pitcher, we in trouble. Well might be in trouble as is

    They did it before and won. I want to be on that end at some point. We can keep stockpiling pitchers and not make a trade at some point.

    The Phillies just like the Brewers already moved all of their chips in and fully opened their windows by making big signings and splashy trades. Our time for that is this off season. We're still ahead of schedule here.

    Except the Braves won’t do anything splashy and never really actually add ML talent. They will continue to hope for prospects to pan out because the organization is too cheap to bring in real major league players.

    Not sure if it got noted anywhere, but Jose Bautista hit a walk-off grand slam yesterday. He's now rocking an OPS within .005 of his career average.
