They do but a number of people just regard him as trade bait rather than part of the growing core. Campbell? I think this is a straw man since many have starting calling it the big 4. But if we're going to trade for someone good, you gotta give up something. Some people are concerned that his swing will get exposed at higher levels, so might suggest selling high. That's not outrageous. No, it's not. I'm just prospect hugging him a little more closely because I think he's most vulnerable among the blue chippers to get dealt plus RH power bats in the system that can also hit and can provide defensive flexibility in the system and even in the big league roster are in short supply. Hopefully the swing issue wont be as big a concern as it is at this moment.

What is this website? It's just OpenAI summaries of other site's articles? I'm not sure what the mods policy is here but feels like we should link to the original work instead. Though in this particular case the original report is from Sports Illustrated so it might just be OpenAI summarizing OpenAI

Any website that discusses "Ozzy" Albies must be legit.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/5656610/2024/07/24/mlb-luxury-tax-tv-money/MLB is going to give the luxury tax penalty money this year to the teams with bad cable deals. It's not exactly clear how they were distributing this money previously, but I think it was an even split among teams under the luxury tax. MLBPA agreed to this change with the understanding that this money is gonna get spent on players. Sounds like this is bad news inside the Fenway offices

Bogaerts with some BABIP correction after a pretty unlucky pre-injury run. All singles, but he's not striking out either. Season line has jumped from .219/265/.316 to .256/.299/.338 in just eight games.

I'm always a fan of Verdugo catching strays. Grabbed this from the national ranking discussion, because it's hilarious. Have we had another recent example of a reprehensible player who was as easy to turn on once he was out of the uniform as Verdugo has been??

I think "reprehensible" is a little strong. Verdugo is just sort of a flake. Of course I wish him all the misery in the world as long as he's with the Yankees, but when he signs a 1/6 deal with the Royals next season I won't have anything particular against him.

But I'm curious what you disliked about Ellsbury?

But I'm curious what you disliked about Ellsbury? Dislike is probably the wrong word. I find it easy to root against guys who leave for the Yankees. I also thought at the time the contract was bad and was glad the Red Sox didn't give it out so it's a little satisfying to be right. And Ellsbury was fun to watch (he was probably my favorite player on the field for a while) but he was never like a charming personality so I didn't have much attachment. Nothing serious really Add: In the non-Yankee category I'll add Crawford and Sandoval

JBJ is having himself a day with the Syracuse Mets. Threw a guy out trying to score from a flyout about 20' from the warning track and then blasted a 420' homer. Best of luck to him. Hope he gets on a streak.

Fractured right hand after being hit by a pitch for Jordan Westburg. He might be out the rest of the regular season.
