Didn’t realize I had muted you. Let’s Talk.
What are you even going on about? Adell played at all 3 levels that summer (would you like the BB Ref or MiLB link?) and you’re trying to judge him on 131 abs while being 6 years younger the than the avg competition he face.
Try again but stop cherry picking stats and trying to make points on small sample sizes.
That's my name, don't wear it out.
Look around the league and see who gets to play when one of their starting 9 goes down. In virtually any case it is a replacement Quad A or rookie from Triple-A. Not an experienced veteran with loads of experience like Edman or Kikè. And we're not even talking about what the Dodgers can do because of their ability to sign so much pitching depth. It's definitely a completely unfair advantage because of their absurd revenue streams, but of course no Dodgers fan is going to complain about it or think it somehow tips the scales in any way. It stems all from the keen business sense and unique genius of Walter, Gugenheim, and Friedman. of course. They are like Trump cultists in that respect.
All three of the Padres catchers are replacement level or worse. Torrens is on pace for around 2.5 WAR. Don't just post his slash line because it doesn't show his defensive contributions. Even just with stolen bases, he'd be a huge improvement:
Maldonado - 36 SB, only 4 CS
Diaz - 22 SB, 9 CS
Torrens - 16 SB, 10 CS
Are you suggesting the dodgers don’t get enough coverage…
He would definitely be an upgrade for the Padres. Please check the stats before spouting off:
Torrens: 0.8 bWAR/0.9 fWAR and an 84 OPS+ in 53 games/162 PAs.
Diaz: -0.2 bWAR/0.1 fWAR and a 67 OPS+ in 68 games/191 PAs.
Maldonado: -0.2 bWAR/-0.6 fWAR and a 45 OPS+ in 49 games/123 PAs.
No I do not want the Dodgers to try to make less money. I just want them to share more of the money they do make. Especially if the money is reliant on the 29 other teams showing up to play, and the fans of 29 other teams tuning in to watch. Nothing exists in a vacuum. Any more revenue sharing money excised to go to poorer clubs must have stipulations for how that money should be spent. Dodgers revenue sharing money cannot just be pocketed by cheapskate owners of course.
With all due respect Matsui isnt horrible
We wouldn’t want to take cronenworths contract since it looks really bad right now
Does preller still have a farm system? What could he offer for someone that’s major league ready like ford? I doubt tirso ornealas is enough
Why would you want to even put Cruz anywhere near CF? He's been really bad out there. He seems lost at times.
Ignorant Son-of-a-b; 😫
Other than Lauer after the Hader deal, I cant think of any of them bad mouthing the Brewers, and 3 of those guys were traded, with the other being released. The Houser slander is really wild to me, he was going into Arb 2, the Brewers just didn't think he was worth the modest salary he was due on a 1 year deal
Losers? Any opinion different than your view and they are losers? A Harris voter? As anywho, your parents made the wrong choice.
If the Padres are really strapped for cash, how were they in on Devers?
Braves trade Murphy for Salas and De Vries. Let’s go!
Can’t even get one injury right in an entire decade. Joke of a team.
Trashtros fans disrespecting Machete to be expected honestly
Aw, cut it out already. I wanted to earn that virtual dollar!
We don't know much about the internal financing of MLB or most of the franchises, but we do know that MLB is one hugely profitable business with 30 owners. We also know MLB maintains strict financial rules for the teams designed to keep them out of trouble. Bottom line, the 30 owners of MLB look after each other because their business depends on it.
The owners can decide any number of financial issues between them, but a cap is not one of them. Every CBA this issue is revisited by the owners, and every time the PA rejects it. A cap wouldn't help the smaller market teams financially anyway. Again, you seem to be confusing competitiveness on the field with profitability. They are not the same thing.
Hey whitey wheres your hat?
Actually since May 15 they are 6 games under .500. To put things in some perspective, after game 86 in 2021 they were 14 games over .500. We all know how that turned out. This feels like 2021. In 2022, they had a 3 month stretch where they went 5 games under but made the playoffs. But that was after being 17 games over before the dive. This doesn’t feel like 2022.
It’s obvious every White Sox article on this page is always written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the White Sox.
Time for a mini rebuild. I don’t think you’ll see Cease, King, Campusano or Suarez in SD after the break. They should try to dump Peralta too. Preller too.
The Padres are a .500 club now. I’ve been a fan since the beginning. They have a nucleus but need too much help to challenge this year.
Same FBI that planned recruited and tried to get extremists to kidnap the governor of Michigan using entrapment.
That the same FBI that investigated a garage door pulley as a hate crime and planned recruited and attempt to kidnap the governor of Michigan? Yeah they’re totally credible.
Read the actual FBI report….
Fan, don’t respond to me if you won’t allow me to reply.
He didn’t play minor league ball and never played in a double deck park. He had 131 AAA ABs, with a sub 700 OPS+
I don’t need to go on….no wonder you block my reply, Your comments are idiotic.
This is a fluke. A nice fluke, but the Pirates just set a record for a certain runs scored and runs against combination over the last 6 games.
That's not what they are as a team. It's nice that they won an informal lottery in the month before the break., but that's all it is.
Maybe the best player I ever completely forgot existed in the middle of their career. Sorry Ha-Seong!
Muncy tore his UCL at end of '21 season. Calling him frail seems like an inaccurate characterization at best.
Are you serious? Obviously I’m not joking about the victim. Get a life.
Trading Reynolds means spending the salary otherwise committed to him on 2026, 2027, and possibly 2028, and taking your lumps in 2029 and 2030---not planning your rebuild around the seasons where you can't afford to keep Skenes.
That's invariably written about 30 year olds four years removed from their peaks.
"He's going to get it going any day now... any day now..."
And he might even pick it back up for a year or two, but at a 2 win level, not his 2021 level But the chance he's worth 10 WAR over the rest of the deal is small, and you'd better how a hole at DH, because he's not going to be worth putting in the field.
@ CC Ryder
Two words: Free market.
Love the call up. Not sure if he sticks at SS though.
LMFAO!
Yeah, because 2-3 win 30 year olds in the 3rd year of 8 year contracts, who are currently worse than replacement level while in a corner spot and feature bad fielding that's already in perilous decline, are typically great bets to recover their form.
Oh, wait, no, those are the guys who routinely have very little left in the tank and are often cut in their early 30s, xStats notwithstanding.
CC Ryder:,Should someone have made something up?
His Cubs career ended last season when he broke his hand by banging it on the dugout roof after getting shelled. He does not seem to be the sharpest knife in the proverbial drawer.
Fat boy!🤣
I don't think it's unreasonable to say that they could go 13-7 in the remaining games heading into the deadline. It's not hard to imagine that, given the August schedule, they could win 17-18 of those 29 games. I say that even with the almost certain subtractions of Heaney and Ferguson, and the high likelihood that none of Frazier, Pham and IKF are on the roster come August. I truly would be surprised if anyone under team control will be dealt, at least none of the names that are commonly coming up.
My preference would be that they sweeten the pot on one of the above guys with someone like Harrington or Burrows to nab an MLB-ready OF. That doesn't pair well with most teams looking to buy for this year's deadline; the Cubs have the deepest group of that category, but they're going to swing for Keller over anything else. Cleveland has some intriguing guys, and could even use Pham to get themselves back into the WC race with another potential pitching piece (Burrows/Harrington/etc.) for someone like DeLauter. It's doubtful, but one could hope.
Run Forrest, run to AAA!🤣
When your principal owner is the head of the Guggenheim group which is worth close to $350 billion. You can do whatever you want. Baseball has to take control because it is an unfair advantage. We all knew about four years ago that Shohei was going to be a dodger when his Angels contract expired, but not even a hint of tampering? Come on we all knew it.
Rather sign Kepler Santander Conforto? Reynolds looks good. And has body work ethic injury history you look for.
Reynolds is just a guy. If you traded Reynolds last year and signed Tauchman for 2m you would have done better. Easily replaced.
Blue - A friend of mine once told me that he saw a sign in an Amsterdam coffee shop for a strain of weed saying: “Americans, do not get this (unless you are from California). We always had the good stuff here since day 1.
As does Starling Marte, Giancarlo Stanton, Nick Martini, Nick Maton...
Freddie - I guess because he started the season so well (then tapered off heavily coming back from the IL), I just expect a bit too much
LoL. I've been saying unload DJ for years. They should buy him out like most NBA teams are doing now
Pete Walker time baby
There is no dip anyways. Hitting just as well as he usually does.
Oh that cracked me up. You win the chat today
If the dodgers work fast enough fixing his swing, they can trade him for a pitcher at the deadline. 😉
Trade Reynolds for best available. A AA doesn't matter. They could have signed a outfielder for 5 million or less almost as good as Reynolds. He's just a guy.
Nothing to bounce back. He's as good as he ever was hitting wise. Pirates would be selling high. He has to regress at some age.
That is not how business works. Whether the Pirates or any team can afford Reynolds contract is not about what the owner can afford, but what the team revenues can afford.
Underrated comment. .759 OPS and he has a good arm. Roster crunch when Amaya returns.
You take those feelings into account but they can't make decisions for you.
---If the Pirates can unload 5/75m for a 30 yo in significant decline, they should do it. Are the Royals run badly enough to cooperate?
Thanks. Prediction: Despite the great start that kid has had with the Athletics, Smith will end up getting ROY.
Rather have Tauchman
Fun fact: he could have played Hoops at Purdue. Painter loved him.
Any team in baseball trying to win should be interested in Reynolds. Pirates could trade him easily.
Contract is good. Why teams are interested.
Mariners are out. I doubt they’d even trade Ford alone for DeVries. His prospect ranking is trending in the wrong direction. He’s currently #99 by baseball America.
Good. I like Whitley, but he hasn't been in the system here long enough to get on the Rays way so to speak. I hope being in AAA for a bit will help get him back on track.
Not having a down year at all.
Nutting is reason for both. If he fired Williams Cherington Shelton and signed a better outfielder things would be different.
It’s not their fault. The White Sox scouts don’t know where countries like the Dominican Relublic and Venezuela are. They need GPS and Jerry won’t spend the money on it.
People here called Kyle Tucker "Ted", since his swing wasn't too far off from Ted Williams. That's a pretty good comp to have, so you kinda maybe don't mess with that so much. Great player, might still be in Houston if we didn't extend Altuve and hand out rancid contracts to Abreu and Montero. Hard to argue against the trade though, even Hayden was doing his part til he got injured.
@crise A gambling house is who clued FBI to Malik Beasley of the Pistons. They recognized unusually high betting on Beasley rebound props. Then even after odds adjusted and lowered the unusually high action continued.
Sportsbooks stay in business based off #s and predicting odds. Catching such anomalies like Beasley is right in line with what they do for every game.
Nobody is using anonymous names either. Sportsbooks want ID, SSN, etc before they ll pay out to anyone. They were legalized by States to create tax revenue. State and Federal government are not letting anyone get away with not paying taxes. Software is going to flag te abnormal action, from there all they have to do is look for most suspect bets on said anomaly.
I totally forgot about Cabrera. I just think Cleveland with him. Good one. And Vargas looked like the actor Vincent Schiavelli.
And Cutch!
What would the Royals take for Vinnie Pasquantino? A package of Harry Ford, Tyler Locklear, and taking on the mega contract of Lugo or Wacha? Anyone?
Then Giles for Bay. Cutch for Reynolds.
If he somehow makes it past the Rockies, he won’t make it past the White Sox.
If Houston and Tampa can’t fix him….
Good thing teams won't even be looking at that.
Yeah it would be ashame if they don't get those amazing prospects 2 month rentals bring back and we would miss seeing more player development failure.
Chad Steven’s looks good
For some teams that have not had MLB take over, there has been a drop in TV related revenue. For the Padres that is not the case. MLB took advantage of the Padres full market area in selling their broadcasts not only in San Diego and Imperial counties, but also in areas as diverse as southern Riverside county (Temecula-Murrieta) to Yuma, AZ to Hawaii and sold streaming via Padres.tv streaming accounts in all of those areas plus in Tijuana and Mexicali.
Over the last 3 seasons we have had the most people watch live baseball games in history. BROADCAST television has seen its market share fall which is why the RSN model has suffered while streaming sources have grown at exponential rates. MLB.tv is now the 4th largest subscription streaming service.
Reynolds is just a guy. That's exactly who you trade away. I already traded him years ago along with Bednar.
And he isn't regressing hard at all. I'm sure he will regress as he ages like everyone but not yet.
Pretty simple. Because I don’t think it is apparent as you say. I simply don’t see it.
I think there are teams struggling to be profitable with revenue sharing.
We will see what happens. I’m backing the existence of a strong group of (more than 8) owners wanting change in the form of a cap.
What multi year free agent should they have signed? Those are also the least effective way to spend $
Know-it-alls are so much fun.
Nats should put in a claim. They only have one lefty in the pen, and Jose Ferrer is terrible.

Senioreditor
NO. Dodgers are minimizing it.
Kewldude: Weed being illegal has never stopped anyone from getting it. In fact, that’s why it’s been made legal in many places.
I know the player's history. Don't believe me fine. Took him 2 years to recover from a sprained elbow and the dude is just frail and old 34.
Kew, I agree with everything you said except for Edman being bad. He does a lot of little things that are not in the stat line.
If anything, he can't be worse than Conforto!
@mattb Yup, though unlike for most Americans, of course.
Every other developed nation in the world has universal health care, with far better outcomes on average and even underdeveloped countries such as Colombia getting much better health outcomes with shorter wait times for treatment and surgery.
If you make $600k-plus a year, American medicine is preferable. For everyone else, for-profit health care kills 70,000 Americans every year, and killed 330,000 Americans during Covid.
Happy Fourth, All!
You’re making that determination on 67 at-bats...
Okay then.
He wasn’t rushed. He was destroying the minors in 2019 and since there was no 2020 MiLB season it was either MLB or nothing.
Luis Robert was an international signee that they spent big on too…. Jose Abreu & others that didn’t pan out. Another question could be when do they go hard for a non-Cuban international signee?
Can he play LF, C, P all by himself? I hope so.
Was hoping that the Mets would trade for McMahon and Bird OR for the Mets to trade for Suarez and Gallen from the D-Backs
Angels gave up on Kingery too quickly.
Desperate times…
Desperate measures…
7 innings in one game if the Mets are down 15-0 after the first inning.
Not sure what state you’re from, but I’m guessing that weed is legal there. Saying that Miguel Rojas, Kikè Hernández, Tommy Edman (maybe), and Kim are only available to a team like the Dodgers because of lavish spending makes zero sense. Rojas and Kilké are dirt cheap and are playing terribly. Edman is a bit of a luxury, but he’s been bad this year too. And Kim is a very cheap wild card. The Dodgers just do everything right and you’re simply sad that your team doesn’t.
