Wasn’t bush hitting upper 90’s in ST?

Yep

If teams (like the Cubs) needed relief help, I wonder what someone would give up for Jeanmar Gomez (2.90 ERA, 3.34 FIP, 139 ERA+ and 1.5 years of control). He can basically fit any role in the bullpen (SU, closer, longman, etc)

Why would the phillies trade Gomez? they are in contention right now. But they could fade away as well. But I think the cubs go after Andrew Miller.

Who really expects the Phillies to continue to be a contender? Outside Odubel, they don’t have a single every day player whose above average offensively to this point (Franco has been roughly league average. They won’t hit enough. Their run differential is bad. Eickhoff and Hellickson have been up and down, and Morgan isn’t that good.
Unless the Phillies actually have a playoff spot under control at the deadline, I fully expect them to continue to be sellers this year. Gomez, Hellickson, Ruiz, and D.Hernandez are all on their way out.
As for the Cubs going after Miller, that’s assuming the Yankees are sellers, and the Cubs are willing to pay a Giles-esque return (ala 2 top young players).

The yankees I believe will be sellers. I don’t see them coming out of last place. The phillies should keep Gomez. they are ahead of schedule of their rebuild. They could be a factor on who wins the nl east.
Brixton
They aren’t gonna win the NL East, so what do they care?

Do you really like their chances as much as the Nats or Mets? I don’t think losing a utility reliever will hurt the team all that much anyways.
Philliesfan4life
Im not picking them over the nationals or the mets , but I mean if they are playing this well in september they will be a pickle to contender teams fighting for a playoff spot.

Jeanmer Gomez is a no go for cubs, no need for a guy throwing 90mph that can’t get strikeouts. They really only need a loogy, will smith from the brewers is the most likely target for them.
Philliesfan4life
Not sure if they will trade within the division though for him. that is why I said Miller, but the yankees would want a lot in return for him.

Go after Teheran and Inciarte.

Bush hit 99 in ST. 97 in the game yesterday. Struck out Donaldson

Cubs can do multiple things with the depth of their farm system, but I think if the yankees are in the bottom of the al east at the end of july, I see the cubs making a package for Andrew Miller or Chapman. The red sox need another pitcher behind price in the rotation. Buchholz is not cutting it.

Erod coming back…

Bush replacing wilhemsen would be huge. Get kela back and have kela bush diekman and dyson in high leverage spots and keep Tolleson as 9th inning only.
Desmond is really annoying with his bat flips and pitcher stare downs (was this always the case?), but when he’s up he’s really up and would be a good left fielder even. If he can play center everyday he’ll really get paid. I think the rangers will let him go with Mazara Choo gallo maybe even profar corner options and muddle along with someone like deshields until Brinson can man center next year but I sure hope Desmond can lock CF down this year, much needed offensive injection if they can get him Choo and Mazara in the same lineup.
