In my recollection, the Sox always hit Archer really well.Love that Archer is out of the AL.
They have. But he would have helped AL contenders.In my recollection, the Sox always hit Archer really well.
When there are thunderstorms circling Camden Yards.when isn't it?
TB has a had a real nice trading deadline.Yikes... big package for Archer
More clear-cut buyers and sellers than in most seasons, it seems.It seems like a ton of players moved at the deadline this year. Is it more than usual or is it just me? There are already plenty of bad teams that now just got a lot worse.
No love for Velazquez?Our bullpen is fine with a healthy Thornberg, Brassier, Barnes, Kelly, Kimbrel, Hembree and Workman.
Don't know if it's serious, but Shaw left the game last night after hitting a foul ball off his leg.That's a huge haul for Archer. And the Brewers just said they're moving Shaw to 2B but then they went out and got Schoop?
Why are the Os trading salary for reduced prospects? They lack talent, not $. Plus, their payroll for the next multiple years is going to be tiny - they can afford to pay O'Day if that means they get more talent back!?!Ken RosenthalVerified account @Ken_Rosenthal 3m3 minutes ago

Never underestimate the greed of a class-action attorney, even at 89 yo.Why are the Os trading salary for reduced prospects? They lack talent, not $. Plus, their payroll for the next multiple years is going to be tiny - they can afford to pay O'Day if that means they get more talent back!?!

An average 89 year old male has a life expectancy of 4.35 years and a 15% chance of dying within the next year. Given average health there is:I cannot evaluate the prospects.
This tear down is a year too late. Once they determined they would make no effort to keep Machado, they should have sold.
This franchise was doomed 20+ years ago when Angelos has his “broken clock” victory over Pat Gillick for the WC, and since then Peter thinks he knows best. They overemphasize their chances year to year.
I joked a couple weeks back that the only hope is a sale of the team. Interestingly, though there is no evidence that this will happen, stripping the team bare is a good preclude to selling the team.
Doubt it can be sold while the MLB litigation is ongoing. If that gets settled, that will be a good sign.I cannot evaluate the prospects.
