Not necessarily. Kinda odd to me that the automatic assumption is that these guys are leaving huge money on the table when they take $20+ million AAV when it's offered. Starting Pitchers - more than any other player - can see their future potential earnings disappear in a heartbeat. Musgrove...

Really off the wall thought, but it's not inconceivable that Alex' deadline plan has been to stand pat the entire time IF they feel like what has been playing out on the farm isn't a mirage. Assume for a minute that the goal is to find a way to keep the entire group together until the end of...

Tarnok making a stronger case for becoming a part of the long-term plan with every start.

Part of the reason I included him as an "enticement" to make it look like Alex would be giving up more than he wanted - Elder and Davidson still have stretches where they tease you enough to think there might be something in there if you could just unlock it, Vodnik's a wildcard that could...

Would love to see if Alex could hoodoo the Orioles into taking a quantity over quality deal...Davidson, Elder, Vodnik, Vines, Malloy, and Mezquita for Santander and Lopez. Santander and Lopez are controlled through 2024 which would solve both the LF and "who replaces Jansen" situations. Would...

He's about to become a reliever - like he should have been much earlier (as well as Touki before him).

Interesting thought along those lines in the event he is going to get a bump next season as I mentioned earlier. I wonder if agreeing to take on Heyward's remaining salary could be Alex' ace in the hole in a potential Happ/Givens deal? It would probably require some shuffling next season, but...

MadBum. And Melancon.

The question I have is "does he have any interest in paying it?". If he's including Snitker in the discussions, you just know he's saying "we don't need him - Eddie's starting to hit and Ozuna had three hits the night before last". That's just who he is. We don't know, but it's probably fair...

Think the alert I got about it said it happened in his first BP session.

Wouldn't be interested in Baez even if they ate enough money to make him cost what Dansby costs now.

Given Anderson's struggles, I'm not so sure he's not getting bumped because they think they might even need him for a start or three during the second half.

FWIW this is where Shanks gets his "inside information" - LOL. Tweeted that the Cards "are prepared to offer one of the biggest trade packages in MLB history" for Soto yesterday AFTER tweeting that "they seem to be slowly backing out of the Soto sweepstakes" on the 23rd. Which is it??? He also...

Sweets are going to eventually bury a lot of us!!!

Happ probably "should" be the main target, but the asking prices on him and Mahle are probably higher than Alex will want to pay. It's a gamble, sure, but with Fried, Morton, and Wright locked in for the first three games of any series it's probably a safer gamble that you can get Strider...

You're missing the point. The Tigers are the type of team that would probably take somebody like Jenista who has options just to get Grossman's money off their books. He's not going to be added to the Braves' 40-Man this winter, so he's probably not going to be in the organization anyway. He...

Yeah - just figured it was worth taking the chance on Jackson since he was a local kid. Not sure there's a whole lot of reason for Williams to come all the way across the country - don't imagine there's much chance he grew up a Braves fan.

He has - just as Soler, Joc, and Duvall were last summer before Alex traded for them. If he can get Grossman and Fulmer for the same types of prospects he hit the lottery with last year, he doesn't lose anything if he tries to catch lightning in a bottle again.

If that number for de Grandpre is right, that leaves $14,880 - $132,440 each for Harper and Ogans zeros the pool out. Williams tweeted he was heading to school on the 19th.

Wonder if Grossman should be added to Alex' potential trade list - switch hitter that can handle both corners and pure rental having a tough year, and the Tigers would probably love to get anything for him to save a little money at this point. Sounds familiar, no? Adding him and Fulmer...
