[rafibomb]

Marte and Valbuena

We should’ve traded Ohtani while his value was high...

Scioscia definitely doesn't believe in a comeback tonight.

WTH is Ramirez still doing in there and why has Bedrosian been warming for like the last half-hour?!

We talking the same Royals who won the World Series in 2015? You’re right we definitely aren’t them. 

Skaggs isn’t the difference between us competing or not in 2019.

Right...how them Royals doing now three seasons later? Maybe they'll be competitive again in ANOTHER 30 years.

You trade Skaggs, you are ensure they are not competitive in 2019.  Luckily, Eppler isn't that short sighted

Ramirez needs to be replaced by one of the two Red Sox guys....

Wow, what a blast!

[mulwin444]

[Glen]

[BackUpTheTruck]

Nice hit Trout.

Hey there are managers as idiotic as scioscia.  Wondering why their pitcher even started that inning.  Moron.

Lol at trading Skaggs ensures being not competitive in 2019...

Some of you overvalue some of our guys like crazy. 

When I say “sell high” we’d be getting back a major league ready prospect or two as part of a package. Skaggs can’t even be relied on to stay healthy. 

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how Skaggs performs the rest of the season and next then revisit this

That fat guy can hit!

"Mike, what do you want? What will make you happy? Money is no object, believe me. You can even have my yacht. Just DON'T LEAVE. PLEASE!!!"

[fan_since79]

427 feet when it was still on its way up?!

Idiots.

no,we can only revisit this if you name the major league prospects we'd be getting in return so we can evaluate your proposal in earnest.

so, who are we getting in return?

We need young, cost controlled starting pitching...that's Skaggs.  What you are proposing makes no sense

We can definitely revisit this without any prospects being named. 

I just think Skaggs’ stock will go down and that he can’t be relied on to stay healthy. For those two reasons I would’ve like to have seen Billy (not me) get a couple guys for him. 

Maybe the offers weren’t there and that’s fine, I’m not saying trade Skaggs for the sake of trading him either. But I hope Billy at least entertained offers. Some of you are making it sound like even the thought of entertaining offers would be dumb.

Do the Rays have their starter warming up?

No, we can't
