Wonder if this means the Yankees are saying "Schwarber or nothing" for Miller

cashman is not an idiot, i'm sure that is just a media fueled rumor. the cubs would never even entertain that kind of conversation, and cash wouldn't be stupid enough to try that on theo & co.

Not sure why you think Cashman would be stupid to ask for a DH who just severely tore his ACL and LCL for 2.5 years of the best reliever on the market on a fairly reasonable contract.

 

[Dominican Power]

Man fuck Schwarber. Give me Baez. He at least can play the field.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

White Sox just dodged a bullet

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I would ask the moon for Miller if I were Cash as well. Schwarber would be a monster in Yankee Stadium.

 

[dubc35]

Nice GIDP with the bases loaded and down 1 Cano! The fact that I expected it is the worst part, lol.

calling schwarber a DH is pretty dumb, and you don't trade young potential .900+ OPS hitters for relief pitchers. that is the complete opposite of the way theo operates.

schwarber was never ever ever going to be used in talks for a reliever, and the only reason it keeps being talked about is because dumb espn types won't shut up about it.

Thank you. It was never going to happen.

i love how yankees fans have actually tricked themselves into believing they're getting one of schwarber or baez for one of their relievers.

this is theo epstein, not jim hendry.

He can ask for it but he's not going to get it.

 

[jbug617]

Paul Blackburn is also going to the Mariners from the Cubs. He is a AA pitcher.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Lucroy would be a huge pickup for the Tribe. Having a great season at the plate, and his defense is underrated. Should have had a couple GG.

Thanks for the info!

Hope we get him, but sounds like we'd have to give up something Massive...

We just got our farm system in nice shape and contending now so hopefully they can keep it out of Top 15 prospects

 

[Silver Arrows]

M's to wear patch for retiring of Ken Griffey's number on August 5th-6th against Angels.

 

[gamz]

Paul Blackburn is also going to the Mariners from the Cubs. He is a AA pitcher.

He's a good one. Good poteinal.

 

[Macattk15]

Edwin Diaz is the only joy I get out of the Mariners now.

Sitting at 18.29 K/9 in 20.2 IP now.

 

[Brinbe]

EDWIN!

What would you call Schwarber? A 1B? Because fielding hasn't gone very well for him (and after the injury I doubt it'll be any better)

Obviously he was never going to be traded for a reliever. Theo thinks too highly of him. But I guarantee the Yankees asked. Don't doubt that's one of the reasons why the Cubs went after Montgomery instead.

schwarber's defensive struggles are vastly overstated. he is not good (at all), but he is not the disaster people make him out to be. there's a chance it gets to a point where his defense becomes too much of a liability, but to call him a DH right now is way off. he was worth 2 wins in less than half a season last year.

 

[Silver Arrows]

What's the Jays record in NL ballparks?

Because it always feels like they feast without DH.

 

[GK86]

So Kershaw might need surgery. No guarantee he will pitch again this year.

 

[dubc35]

Lind!

Edit, nice GIDP before that Seager!

Wonder who steps up in the NL Cy Young race if that is the case.

My vote goes to Jose Fernandez.

Him and Syndergod are up there. Arrieta, Cueto, etc. in the convo
Oh shit forgot about Madbum.

hey guys just how lame is the DH on a scale of 1-10?

Dude is pure fire. But then we go and put Benoit in after him and it's like why even fucking bother.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

DodgersGAF, who is even in the rotation anymore? Cards are playing you guys this weekend and I'm looking at the projected matchups and it's almost entirely "TBA" :lol

Cecil has really been a heaping pile of garbage this year.

 

[Mortemis]

Just love seeing Diaz pitch. Wish he could develop a third pitch and be a starter, but a fire throwing closer is awesome too.

Paul Blackburn is also going to the Mariners from the Cubs. He is a AA pitcher.

He's a good one. Good poteinal.

Reading up on him, he's pretty solid but really needs a strikeout pitch.

 

[CosmicQueso]

That is a damned tragedy. He was having one of the best runs of pitching in the modern era.

Got to see him pitch live twice this year, and I won't forget those outings anytime soon. Sucks.

 

[Future Foundation]

What, exactly, did/do people think the Yankees should get for Miller?

 

[blackaroni]

Astros finally beat Oakland.

 

[Mortemis]

Cruz forgetting not he can't run for shit.

Goddammit Manny.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Close this one out Mariners!

Cruz forgetting not he can't run for shit.

Goddammit Manny.

Yeah that was a real bad call. lol

 

[Malo]

Around what the Padres got for Kimbrel but better.

 

[rando14]

lmao, stole another won

OMG Leonys' hair *faints

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Good job Mariners

 

[Mortemis]

Martin again!

6 walk off homers this year. Wow.

Martin's hair 😂😂😂

 

[Lee Chaolan]

3 Gatorade baths? lol

 

[Sanjuro]

70s uniform day.

 

[GK86]

Fielder might be done for the season with a herniated disc.

 

[CygnusXS]

so much for Lucroy to the braves.

Thank fuck.

 

[NameGenerated]

Good god, Harper just annihilated a ball.

 

[Choomp]

So Kershaw might need surgery. No guarantee he will pitch again this year.

Wow that would be terrible. He was goat-tier so far this year

 

[Mortemis]

Looks like the M's first round pick Kyle Lewis is out for the season with a knee injury. 😔😭

Hope it's nothing that'll effect his career.

 

[DireStr8s]

Harper beat Dunn's best with that HR.
