With a break day mid-week, that offers baseball writers so much of time to put in writing so much of articles — some are repetitive, and I’ve tried to provide the finest on the market. So many PCA articles. So many Dansby Swanson articles. And as you see under, articles on roster strikes, damage updates, commerce speak, whether or not to go along with youth for just a little bit, and even a pair on a scorching prospect.
One commerce concept that I’ll prevent from studying is buying and selling Seiya Suzuki for Aaron Nola (however if you would like additional laughs, here’s the link). I’m mentioning it as a result of the concept got here from a Chicago sports activities journalist (George Ofman), not one from Philadelphia. I’ve voiced my opinion numerous occasions about Jameson Taillon this yr. I might quite have a rotation of 5 Taillons than to have Nola, who hasn’t proven any glimpse of bettering from his horrible efficiency over the past two seasons. A giant commerce is meant to enhance your group (even for prospects). This commerce for a pitcher with 4 years and $100 million left on his contract would wreck the group.
Silly season has definitely arrived, people!
