Unbelievable win tonight.
This is why I took the whole week off to see the Dodgers play in Atlanta. Last LA game I went to was the miracle back-to-back-to-back game against the Phillies when Cody got his first two dingers.
Pretty pumped for this.

Probably waiting for the losers of the Darvish/Gray sweepstakes to get desperate enough to offer a bit more than what's out there right now. I hope.
Worse case scenario is they get a comp pick for him when he leaves...

Anything that would come back for Lynn would have to be more valuable than the comp pick they'll get when he signs in the off-season. Not sure if he would get much more than that.
They're also 4.5 games back of first, mostly because of bad luck (pythag/baseruns has them very close to Cubs)
I've wanted them to trade him forever but the rental market for SP may not really be all that good this year. They should probably trade Trevor Rosenthal though. He'd bring a ton back.

May the Schwartz be with you
I cant wait for the dodgers eventual choke in the postseason.
Change this to Astros gear and you've got a winner.

Yep I'm liking this. Bullpen down the stretch last year was just so shaky but now I feel like there are 5 or 6 guys down there with the stuff to get postseason outs.

Yeah, this will be something the Mets (and a lot of other teams concerning their tradeable pieces) will also have to factor in for the likes of Bruce (which it looks will be the case as there isn't much trade interest) and for Reed (who I think will ultimately be moved given the supply/demand for relievers), not sure if the latter even qualifies for compensation but he probably does/will.
It sounds like Cabrera may be staying as well with an affordable option for next season and (for now) the willingness to play 2B which could seemingly change at any point.
I heard a while ago that Granderson informed the Mets he plans to retire after the season unless they have interest in bringing him back in any role (4th outfielder, etc) so I have no idea what happens with him today or moving into waiver deals in August.
I will give you DeGrom's hair. That is the source of his power.
...and Cabrera and Granderson, please
Been the best pen since the break. This adds to it.

Damn, Indians said to be in on Britton. Now that's a super bullpen if Britton is right health wise.

Soooo about that 3B...
Unless Dodgy Dave is rolling the dice on a Devers-Nunez platoon which is unlike him

Can any of them replace Salas now though?
Devers is a future first ballot hall of famer

Nogosek is in his first full pro season; he has a chance to fast-track as a reliever after being a college closer.
Bautista has mid- to high-90s fastball and slider. Nogosek is low- to mid-90s with a wipeout slider. Both in High-A.
Callahan, Bautista, and Nogosek are all relievers - Callahan is close to big leagues (AAA) w/mid-90s fastball, swing/miss slider and split.
The Mets traded a better arm just to get Ramos.
And Ramos is a controllable asset that has a career ERA under 3, 9+ K/9 and late inning experience.

Cubs made a great move to get Wilson. Seems like the Chapman deal all over.
Cash needs to see Boston and now presumably Cleveland isn't messing around. Houston has a shaky rotation right now so their push for Sonny might have gotten harder.
Grab Sonny, let a sixth man pitch himself out of the rotation. Yankees are close to being a legitimate threat in the league.

Astros checking in on Darvish, not sure the Rangers trade him there though.
I think that Gray is a lost cause at this point.
Astros probably end up getting a guy like Lynn and another LH reliever and DFA Sipp (at least they should because he's been pretty awful).

they're probably making the playoffs, and anybody in the playoffs is a legitimate threat.

Don't be surprised to see Dave call his old buddy Al and ask about Castellano's.

I agree with the last part but I am keeping an eye out in this division.
Dodgers have the better Kyle. Farmer for Darvish straight up.

I hope no one was expecting a Aroldis Chapman or Andrew Miller-like haul for Addison Reed.

why are the cardinals letting lance berkman embarrass their organization?
No, but I wasn't expecting three rp's. Especially after trading for a rp last week.

I have to assume it was the best Alderson and company could get considering when Reed was dealt.
Mets bullpen in general is a huge area of need concerning roster building.
Unless Reed was going to garner a compensation pick I don't see an issue here (and maybe not even then without knowing how deep the the 2018 draft is supposedly and/or not much about the 3 acquired arms in the deal).
