2026 : Around the League

[msstate7]

The braves were 1-12 in the state of California last season. They start a 3-game series tonight there again.

The Angels have a garbage offense and a mediocre pitching staff. And now Trout is probably going to be out at least a game. Maybe 2. We honestly should sweep them since we're throwing Sale, Lopez, and Holmes. At minimum, we gotta take 2 of 3.

Jo Adell robbed 3 HR in 1 game.

I know WAR doesn't work this way, but I feel like he deserves 1 entire Win for that performance. Holy crap.

How much of Trout's salary would you make the Angels eat in a trade. He's owed 37 million for several more years.

75%

Even if he optimistically could play 130 games or more (he's done that only 3 times since 2016, excluding 2020), he's not even a 4 fWAR player at this stage in his career.

Aside from finishing his career with the Angels, the next best option is having the Phillies trade for him and pay him 20+ million to miss 80 games a year.

Series loss confirmed

More of it than they'd be willing to pay

 

[cajunrevenge]

30 million a year.

My understanding is this counts a 3 Defensive Runs Saved which translates to 0.25 WAR.

lol, at maddux

 

[CyYoung31]

Once Maddux saw the slider, he realized they needed to keep that pitch and develop the cutter. To make sure the addition didn’t negatively impact the breaking ball, Elder throws his slider off his middle finger and the cutter off his index finger.

More context.

 

[zbhargrove]

Can we just get Chipper in here to be the hitting coach and Maddux to be the assistant pitching coach for the soft tossers?

 

[cajunrevenge]

I got faith in Austin. I will die on that hill.

Can you use your forecasting abilities to please resurrect Andy Marte? as you know, he was once the future

My first heartbreak

 

[cajunrevenge]

RIP Marte. Had no idea. Almost 10 years ago.

Dodgers asked Ohtani what he needed to elevate his performance. He said more batting cages so they are spending 100 mill to do so. Wow.

 

[Super]

Will be interesting to compare Bassitt to Elder this season.
