Just now, Inside Pitch said:

Heyman reports that the Mariners initially asked for two prospects..   
The Yankees said "No"
So, the M's countered with.... How about "Juan Then"....   

I'll go sit in the corner now...

This is the kind of genius this place is lacking.

Ninety-two runs in the four Padres/Rockies games at Coors Canaveral?

Never change Coors Canaveral, never change. 

And yes, despite going 10-19 in that series, Machado's contract is still horrible, terrible.    You all and I could hit in that park.

Did anyone see Kenley Jansen's intentional balk last night? Pretty smart for a Dodger.

It would have been great if he had thrown a wild pitch

And Machado's may be every bit as bad, maybe worse.    

Will have a better idea in ten years. Will be interesting to see Trout, Harper, and Machado numbers in 2030.

Why ? They had a two run lead 

[m0nkey]

Christian Yelich leads the majors with 26 home runs and leads the NL with 16 steals.  Last player to lead a league in both as far as I can tell is Ty Cobb, who led the league with 9 home runs and 76 steals.

Keuchel will start against division rivals Washington Nationals this Friday.

And yet all you hear about lately is Bellinger. Steady ol Yelich just keeps plugging along like the damn energizer bunny.

Seriously. 

Bellinger is on a tear. Dudes a beast. 

But yellich is unreal. And hes been at it for like 3 years now? Thats the best of the trout clones off the top of my head.

But ones a dodger, ones a brewer...

Seriously wondering how the Marlins are doing in that trade? Did they get anything in return? I feel compassion for that fan base.

As of right now? They got nothing. Jester is worse than DiPoto and that’s saying something.

They may turn out ok still. 

Jordan Yamamoto was called up last week from AA and pitched 7 innings of shutout ball in his debut, he's being rushed like a lot of Marlins prospects but at least he didn't fall flat on his face.  Isan Diaz has been raking in AAA after completely laying an egg last year, but PCL.   Likewise Monte Harrison has had a nice comeback season.    Thing is, while those guys are looking like they might actually end up being something the headliner in that deal (Brinson), has been a total bust and is also down in AAA and also hitting well albeit he's a couple years older.  

So.. despite New Orleans being as close to a neutral park as there is in the PCL, its hard to guage if those guys have actually turned the corner or simply benefiting from playing in the PCL.

[Angel Oracle]

The Red Sux' JBJ is channeling his inner Calhoun.   .377 OPS in April, .860 OPS since May 1 with 18 XBH's

The Red Sux are on a 6 game winning streak.   They could well run away with the 2nd WC at this rate (currently 40-34).

Coming in at 61st and 62nd in hitter fWAR this year are Manny Machado (1.6) and Bryce Harper (1.5).

Franchise superstars, both.
