MLB can't do anything right. Watching the draft. Instead of showing the picks and trying to draw out some suspense, they are on a commercial break when the first pick comes in and yapping to Casey Mize's parents for the #2. i find this astongishly amazing. the mlb draft if going on right now? the first 1/3 of the mlb season on a June Monday Night after Memorial Day and Prior to the 4th of July? i'm baffled. i really am. it's like Nutz's College World Series Post - I think this is something the casual sports fan can get invested to if an effort is made. that being said the Phils had the #1 pick a couple of years back named 'Mickey Montiak' or something like that who plays in the outfield and this string bean is still hitting around the Mendoza Line in Single A ball  |

But he's only 20. He's still growing. A's draft Oklahoma Sooners starting QB Kyler Murray. He says he's going to play football no matter what. But I've read he doesn't stack out to be an NFL caliber QB. Will he risk everything to play one year at a sport that he can't make money at? |

There’s been a lot of talk in the NY tabloids and on NY sports radio about the Yanks putting together a trade package for Jacob deGrom. Clint Frazier, Tyler Austin, Tyler Wade, Miguel Andujar, Dellin Betances and Justus Sheffield are all names that have come up. Of course the Mets would ask for Gleyber Torres but the Yankees are not going to part with him.
The funny thing is, a lot of Met fans think the team should move deGrom too. He’s wasting his prime on a shit team.
There are others who say they’re three seasons removed from making the World Series, but Matt Harvey went to shit, Syndergaard can’t stay healthy, Wheeler is terrible, and the Mets’ marquee offseason signing was Todd Frasier, a guy who hits .240 on a good year.

White Sox bullpen is a hysterical joke. The starter goes 7 innings giving up no runs and only 1 hit. The reliever gives up 4 runs on 4 hits in the bottom of the 8th and they lose it 4-2.
Unbelievable.

I can’t see the Mets trading DeGrom. Club still has three years of control. They are looking like a 4th place team for a while with the Braves and Phils looking and Washington still talented with or without Harper. Even if the do tear it down, I can’t see him going to the Bronx. They have to fight the Yankees for NY. But the Yankees can offer the most return. |

It’s true they don’t like to deal directly with each other, but on the other hand the Mets wouldn’t be dealing an ace to another team in their division or even within the National League. If they dealt deGrom to the Yanks they’d maybe face him once a year. And as you pointed out, the Yankees are rich in prospects. The Yanks have made some dumb deals over the years and I don’t like the Stanton trade and being in the hook for that massive contract, but credit where it’s due — Cashman turned shit to good by tearing down for less than half a season. There’s no reason the Mets can’t do the same, although not with Alderson. |

There’s no reason the Mets can’t do the same, although not with Alderson. Yankees have made some great deals. They gave up nothing for Chapman, got a fortune from the Cubs for a rental then got him back. And Stanton didn’t cost them a prospect. I think the Mets will want a high level starting pitching prospect for DeGrom, which the Yankees don’t have. I just can’t see the Mets having a fire sale. They have too much young talent, Nimmo, Conforto, Rosario, Matz. They could flip DeGrom for a sweet deal, but a starter would have to be included. Yanks will I’ll have to get another top flight starter. Their rotation can’t match Houston’s. Gray sucks, Montgomery isn’t reliable, neither is Tanaka and CC is old. |

Scherzer becomes the first pitcher to 10 wins, he’s having another absolutely brilliant season, while JD Martinez becomes the first to 20 HR’s as the Sox continue to roll.

TheGoodMan19Montgomery is done for the season, he needs Tommy John surgery. That leaves them with Severino, Carsten Charles, Tanaka, Gray and that kid Domingo German they’ve been using to eat up innings every fifth start. They will definitely need pitching help sooner rather than later. They’ve got Justus Sheffield, but they’re wary of bringing him up too early. German’s ERA is 5.44, Gray’s is 5.50 and Tanaka’s is 4.79. It’s somewhat of a miracle they’re winning as many games as they have with such shitty starting pitching, but it’s a lot of wear on the bullpen when most of your starters can’t even sniff the sixth inning.

Scherzer also notched a so-called “immaculate inning” with three strikeouts on 9 pitches in his last start, which is the second time he’s done that. It’s a short list of otherguys who have accomplished that — Koufax, Nolan Ryan and a handful of others. Dude is locked in. |

The worst thing that could have happened to the Detroit Tigers was Miguel Cabrera winning the Triple Crown. The organization wanted to let Miggy walk and pay the big money to FA Scherzer. But they were afraid of the fan reaction to letting Cabrera walk. So Miggy got the ridiculous extension and Mighty Max rakes his stuff to DC. He is having a Koufaxian season. If the bullpen hadn't choked in LA, he could be 11-1. A treat to watch him pitch. |

So there are rumors swirling that the Mets don't want to release Jose Reyes and his vaunted slash line of .141/.208/.197 (ugh!) and summer sloshball quality defense because of his "deep roots" within the organization, and they want to give him a "proper sendoff." FUCK. YOU! That is such a line of horseshit, only the Mets are blind enough to think that anyone believes that bullshit. And you know what, it's so fucking inane and the rumors are so easy to dismiss due to their stupidity.......that I actually believe the Mets are, in fact, taking this position publicly and they do believe that their fans will swallow it. If there's a way to be blinded by all forms of reality and to completely alienate your fanbase at every turn, the Mets will find the way.
Anyway, let's assume that this is why they aren't releasing Reyes just yet. It's obviously a line they are feeding to the fans. None of us should believe it. With the news of David Wright resuming baseball activities hitting the wires a few days ago, the idea of Wright and Reyes manning the left side of the infield together again has at least a glimmer of hope. And you know what, when that happens, I bet they can sell an extra 5,000 tickets. That's the Mets in a nutshell; selling out the fucking season by completely wasting a roster spot just so that they can sell an extra 5,000 tickets to a meaningless game in July. Well done, Wilpons, well done.
Ugh, I hate baseball.

They let Pujols walk and their fans let them have it at first. |

That was a ballsy move. Pujols was the new Stan Musial. He WAS St. Louis baseball. You can alienate a whole generation of fans by letting the face of the franchise go. The Mariners have never put up the attendance numbers they did in the Junior/A Rod days. But Cardinals management knew that a contract like that, paying $30 million per to a player over 40, hamstrings a team. It will be intertesting to see what way the Nationals go in the offseason. Will they pay a gargantuan contract to Bryce or risk pissing the fans off (and losing out on playoff berths) and let him walk? |

The Nationals are $185m right now but that includes Bryce's $21m plus in adjusted salary plus Daniel Murphy's $17m and he's a FA at the end of this year too. They could realistically afford Bryce but they'd be hard pressed to do much else after that I'd imagine. |
