BrianS81177 2,808 Posted July 20, 2017 Good god. That Yankee bullpen is intimidating. Adding Robertson and Kahnle to Betances and Chapman? That's a hell of a foursome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder they got that new sponsor. [Insert your level of creep factor for sponsor here] Examples: Pornhub. Also, the Giants are going to bring back Sandoval if he passes medicals.

That's a hell of a foursome. The nice thing is about this trade is it's not purely a rental. Robertson is signed through next season and Kahnle is signed through 2020. No surprise about the Giants bringing Sandoval back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 9,774 Posted July 20, 2017 Kato Kaelin has been losing his freaking mind over the Brewer's bullpen the last couple days. It's been a sight to see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianS81177 2,808 Posted July 20, 2017 I'm really liking the Mariners getting Phelps. Our bullpen has been ok recently but has been very up and down all year. Wouldn't mind seeing them trade for a good back end starter too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't mind seeing them trade for a good back end starter too. Four prospects for David Phelps is an awful lot. All the Yankees got for Phelps and Martin Prado were Nathan Eovaldi and Garrett Jones, neither of whom are even Yankees anymore. Eovaldi is now Tampa Bay's problem as he recovers from TJ surgery and Jones is playing in Korea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 28,712 Posted July 21, 2017 The Mariners have acquired left-hander Marco Gonzales from the Cardinals in exchange for minor league outfielder Tyler O’Neill, as per a Mariners press release. Since clearly the Ms are crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianS81177 2,808 Posted July 22, 2017 Yeah I got nothing for this one. I don't mind trading O'Neil (he was blocked in the OF anyway by Haniger, Gamel and Heredia) but I feel like there had to be something more out there besides a dude who's missed almost 2 years due to injuries.

RIPPA 28,712 Posted July 22, 2017 Chris Sale reached 200 Ks fastest than any pitcher in AL history last night He's not gonna challenge the K record though since the Red Sox are already trying to manage his innings better in the 2nd half of the season (considering he leads the league in IP and is averaging like 110 pitches a game - that is probably wise) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 28,712 Posted July 24, 2017 Both Kershaw and Strasburg left their starts today with injuries Kershaw's was tightness in his back Strasburg's injury isn't disclosed yet as apparently the Nats are waiting for him to get checked by their own doctor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grilledcheese 604 Posted July 24, 2017 Kershaw to the 10 day, will see a back specialist in the next day or so. It seems like it is less serious than the deal that cost him six weeks last year, Dave Roberts says: “There wasn’t any shooting pain down the leg or the sensations that he felt last year, so that’s encouraging.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 28,712 Posted July 25, 2017 Quote The Twins have acquired lefty Jaime Garcia and catcher Anthony Recker from the Braves, per a club announcement. In return, Atlanta acquires young righty Huascar Ynoa. As part of the swap, the Braves will send $100K to cover a piece of Recker’s remaining salary, Jon Heyman of Fan Rag tweets. Minnesota is absorbing all of Garcia’s remaining salary, per MLB.com’s Mark Bowman (via Twitter); that represents just over $4.5MM of the original $12MM salary. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/07/twins-acquire-jaime-garcia-anthony-recker.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
