Get in now on your Colt Keith for ROY bets.

Dude is raking.

Crazy comeback.

Greene is also on one of his heaters. Imagine if that poor bastards protection wasnt guys like Mark Canha most of the year

They need Carp back badly.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

And Miranda hits the IL

Doesn't mean much with the ASB though. Misses like a game or two more assuming he heals

Royals just grabbed Hunter Harvey off the Nats. Good peripherals. Arguably their new best reliever right now.

Ya'll need bullpen help bad. But that seems like a steep price for Hunter Harvey

Meh, they already have Maikel Garcia isn't gonna post a 630 or whatever OPS going forward and Cayden isn't a super serious prospect in my book. Flier/Deadline fodder not a system mover. Especially with a top 10 draft selection and the deadline still upcoming, I am not really sweating losing 3B. If it was Blake Mitchell or Carter Jensen I would have lost my shit, but this is fine, imo. No need to go for a WS with this group, just hold pat and get pieces that can help you over the next 2-3 years, Harvey does that. Wallace likely doesn't, and probably not even better than Garcia. Team is in a good spot to benefit for some rebounds from slow offensive starts and a WC spot, not need to go scorched earth. If I am meh on anything, it's giving up the extra pick.

If they want to trade for a 3B so bad, eat some money and get the Giants to dump Matt Chapman on them.

Speaking of trades, trading for Chisholm is actually kinda pointless outside of keeping Frazier from DHing and leading off I guess. The return for Chisholm would have to be pathetic for the Royals to trade for Chisholm and for it to be an unironically good move:

Need more pitching, namely relievers, more than they need hitting per se, imo. If they're trading for an OF'er, I'd rather it be Luis Robert,

The market is going to be tough if that is the price for a middle of the road RP. I am thinking CLE might have to pay a very steep price for a SP

Dude can’t stay on the field too

Chisholm still has loads of potential at 26 but I don't think any of the teams in the central need to give up any sort of assets to bank on that potential

Right now he's just mid, without set position.

The Royals would essentially be paying through the nose for a guy who is not obviously worth more than .5 a win over the guy they are replacing going forward. If you're going to swing big on a OF'er, Luis Robert if anything makes more sense. Makes more sense to just add pitchers at that point.

The AS break came at a good time. Cleveland has been hitting like shit. In a slump just like every team has experienced. Keep it up after the break and they could fall even further.

Lucky for you guys Twins have gotten ass fucked by injuries at the same time so not gaining too much.

Plantar fasciitis for Correa again is a nightmare

 

[navamind]

Tigers walk the Dodgers off again lolz

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Blake Snell(yes contrary to numbers he's still very good) pitching against a total corpse of a lineup

What cant we do? Drop the ball at 1B on a innings ending double play. You just knew that Paddack wouldn't be able to get that 4th out right away.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Margot ties the game

Then immediately loses it, eating shit running to 3rd and with his awful D in center

He was playing ridiculous too. There goes my fantasy team

 

[bksballer89]

That’s a way to lose

 

[Shanemansj13]

Bazzana it is. I wanted either him or Condone. Surprised by the Reds pick

 

[Shanemansj13]

White Sox grab their Crochet replacement and the Royals grab the two-way player. All these guys could be ready in a year.

I don’t think the draft is deep but the top of the draft is insane

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Royals grab Jac. Presumably as a bat per Passan. Down for it. Don't overthink it. Build up some bats, trade them if needed for pitching.

Witt
Pasquantino
Caglianone
Mitchell

Could be a fun heart of the order here in a year or two.
