    Potential Trade Deadline Targets

    If I were the Mets GM I would not trade DeGrom. If available ? The Groome injury doesn't help but with ERod I believe your in the conversation. You also have to figure DeGrom has never hit Free Agency. Good years this and next, he would be a fool not to test the market. Might keep the asking...

    Potential Trade Deadline Targets

    Yes, DeGrom would make a difference but I don't think it would cost Devers. #1 Your dealing with the Mets, #2 I think a starting point of ERod and or Groome and a few low level hitters, possibly you eat half of the Castillo deal and send him off, Chatham, gets you into the conversation?

    Potential Trade Deadline Targets

    Devers is a potential superstar talent. DeGrom is 30. Hauck is another project, not quite Ball but close. Chavis is a PEDS user. Did everyone forget the luxury tax? DeGrom would make a difference but not at the cost of Devers. DD wasted a lot of bullets for Price. Now they might pay for it when...

    Potential Trade Deadline Targets

    I agree with your assessment above. My question is this. The last 7 Playoff games in 16 and 17 resulted in the Starting Staff pitching a total of 22 innings and allowing 28 earned runs. Minus CBuc and Fister out of that equation the Staff went 16.2 IP and allowed 23 ER with an average of 3...

    Pedroia on DL

    Start working the phone lines before its to late. Lowrie Dozier Cabrera all can play the position, all the wrong side of 30, all should come cheap while providing bench depth if Pedroia returns

    Catching Hell

    Youth movement which Pitt always falls back on WC contention or not. They traded Cole for peanuts. They have a younger cheaper option in Diaz.

    Catching Hell

    Cervelli in Pitt an option? 32 year old who can get on base. 11 mill owed in 19, not peanuts while up against the tax but could be a bridge to the Prospect Baldwin in Salem who has shown the ability to hit for power

    Hanley DFA'd (5/25 Update)

    There is still work to be done to afford a potential deal with a Top Tier FA next winter. Outside of the Top 5 or 6 players in next yrs free agency there are still several other players who would be considered an upgrade to the current roster. I believe this is the start. We saw the Yankees...

    Hanley DFA'd (5/25 Update)

    Amen! You could look at it one step further, the 19 free agent class is loaded with some fine talent outside of the Top dogs. I understand Betts XB are coming due, none the less the historic Free-Agent class is historic!

    BOS bullpen 2018

    Baseball Reference has a stat under "Clutch Stats" Late and close I will rephrase now that Smith is out. Kelly, the jury is still out since his entire career has been inconsistent. Thornburg coming off of the same injury Harvey had and we see what has happened to Harvey. Barnes is not the guy...

    BOS bullpen 2018

    I disagree on Barnes. Baseball Ref Clutch Stats, late innings and close, the walks are staggering in 2016, 17 again in 18. The control is a major issue and although the stats above say he is getting better, the eye test for me says he is not. I understand there is a level of patience and not...

    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    You would have to think the current hitting coach knows what the problem is? At what point do you fault the Player for not taking advice or perhaps his swing is all he knows and at what point does the organization say lets find somebody else? Benni perhaps more frustrating. His swing looked at...

    BOS bullpen 2018

    Kimbrel alone is .8 An Elite Closer is covering up the deficiencies of the others. Kelly is what he is. Smith has pitched well the last week. Pitchers like Barnes and Hembree who both have a career WHIP of 1.5 give or take have been and always will be inconsistent based on a very long track...

    Giants interested in JBJ

    Unless Bumgarner is on the block, the best move DD can make when SF calls is "hang up the phone"... JBJ might benefit from working with the new hitting coach whose philosophy is said to be "driving the ball out of the park". Same with XB who all of a sudden became a slap hitter. Include Betts...
