Wow I thought this kid would be a star in 2016 draft it was Riley Pint or Jay Groome but he should be back sometime like Mark Appel.

Probably worth mentioning just because he’s a switch hitter with positional flexibility but Wilmer Difo got DFA’d by Pittsburgh

Did anyone hear Gerrit coles interview? When asked if he used an illegal substance he was silent for five seconds and gave a weird no answer. Wow it was cringe worthy

Khris Davis caught a DFA from the Rangers too
.345/.377/.552 career at Fenway. .994 OPS at Yankee stadium
Rays are totally gonna get him and revive him

Out on both Difo and Davis. I don't see what Difo adds that Gonzalez doesn't (at least Gonzalez is good on defense), and Davis hasn't hit .247 since 2018 (and kidding aside, he's been bad since).

Reliever Matt Wisler DFA’d by the Giants
He was great last year. He’s been striking out a lot of guys the last couple of years but he’s back to being homer-prone

I'd be more interested if he weren't out of options. Throws 90% sliders. He's essentially a one-pitch pitcher - his fastball gets crushed. The slider is pretty good though.

Just watched the At Bat of the year by Anthony Rizzo: 14 pitches, 10 foul balls 9 with 2 strikes then goes deep to tie the game.

So, he's just like Brandon Workman, but he throws sliders instead of curveballs. Got it.

Mets claimed RHP Nick Tropeano off waivers
Him and Andriese were teammates in Cotuit when I worked for them. Theyre basically the same pitcher

The Padres signed Joe Beimel
Yes- that Joe Beimel. He’s 44 and hasn’t pitched since 2017. Apparently throwing in the mid 90s these days

Benny is hitting the DL with a right rib injury
That’s mildly concerning given that was what ended his season last year. Same side and everything

Since Mike Trout's injury the Angels are 15-10 (97 wins pace), clearly he's been dragging them down and they should trade him to us with cash for Marwin Gonzalez and a PTBNL. I think Cora can deal with this looker room cancer.

Tough to see from a baseball standpoint, but could help the Red Sox stay close to Tampa. Somehow Rich Hill is still pitching regularly (and I guess you can say the same thing about Garrett Richards). Of course, Tampa does have the depth to withstand this somewhat as they had six viable starters. I would guess they have some starting options in the higher minors as well?

I kind of assume this is his frustration speaking. Guy just had a major injury that I think we all probably expect to end in TJ and lost time. But truthfully I find it a little difficult to believe that going without sunscreen for two starts suddenly snapped his UCL. I’m no doctor, so maybe? But it just sounds like he is lashing out (which I get, cause getting hurt sucks).
