Padres and Keuchel are closing in on a multi year deal. 

I like the dads attitude about trying to win. Tatis Jr. is fun to watch, too.

There's an org that wants to win.

[T.G.]

So... Will Scherzer drill Harper today?

[ScottT]

Bryce Harper has said "things like that" 68 times in the last five minutes.

This would be a great move for the Padres ... hope it happens.

it's much easier to make a move like this when your payroll is $97 million

As a career .247/.297/.490 hitter, Grichuk may not immediately stand out as an extension candidate, but the Jays have reason to be optimistic regarding his long-term value. Grichuk has a strong defensive track record per each of Defensive Runs Saved, Ultimate Zone Rating and Outs Above Average, and he belted a career-best 25 home runs in just 462 plate appearances last season. Statcast ranks his sprint speed in the 88th percentile of active players, so Toronto surely feels that while Grichuk may never be an on-base threat, he’ll provide them with quality defense and plenty of power over the long term.

 

Such a lame trade. Oh well.

[Jay]

Wow good for him.

Andujar out for the year, time to trade them Cozart.

and you know how that'll go. he'll hit .342 with 27 bombs and 94 rbis.

[ScottT]

5 years for Grichuk? 

Good for him is right. 

[m0nkey]

Bryce is 3-5 with a single, double, and upper deck bomb in his return to DC.

[JarsOfClay]

Very happy for Grichuk. I always liked him and he would be a huge upgrade over Calhoun right now.

The fans were really on him in D.C. then he hit the bomb in the 8th and flipped the bat. I'm not usually a fan of bat-flips but the D.C. fans deserved it.

[T.G.]

That's why Bryce Harper is must-see-TV or better yet - why I make an effort to see him at a ball park each season.  He has a flare for the dramatic and shines in big moments quite often.  I can understand the hate, but I find him entertaining and at the end of the day - baseball should be entertaining.  I still would prefer to watch Mike Trout any day of the week... but I can appreciate the show Harper is capable of putting on, on any given day.

[Dick Enberg]

so how long before Bryce gets some chin music?

 

[m0nkey]

Yeah I fully expect Bryce to get hit today.
