So that amuses you? Was going to let that go since looks like Eph was offended.

You guys are probably right. I need to chill a bit. Thanks

We all do. Real winners tend to get a little up tight. No problem at all.

4:55pm: Sherman tweets that there are stronger signals that a trade of Hamels to the Cubs could come together — perhaps even today.

5:36pm: While the Cubs appear to be the “front-runner” for Hamels, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter), there are still other clubs in play for the lefty. Rosenthal and Steve Phillips of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (Twitter link) both suggest that the Braves are in the mix for Hamels, and T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com tweets that the Phillies may still be involved as well.

Be glad when it happens along with whatever else we do by the trade deadline. Come on August 1st and let the dust settle.

I heard the Cubs deal for Hammels right now is for secondary prospects and the Cubs would pay the rest of this year's salary and the 6 million next year.

what exactly are secondary prospects? never really understood the term

Rangers trade rumors: Hamels, Beltre

I think it means we can flip them in a trade to the Cowboys who could use some help in the secondary.

Seriously, I believe they are referring to lesser prospects and not ones who are very highly regarded.

Pirates Showing Interest In Keone Kela

 

[saddles]

6:01pm: Rosenthal now tweets that while the Rangers have done background work on that quartet of players, they’re actually not a part of the current discussions surrounding Kela.

July 26, 5:29pm: The Rangers are considering right-handed starter Tyler Eppler, outfielder Jordan Luplow, shortstop Kevin Newman and right-handed reliever Dovydas Neverauskas in their talks with the Pirates, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). Those are just some of the names being discussed, it seems, and it’s not clear exactly which combination(s) of those players is on the table.

I was wondering the same thing. I guess probably not in their top 30 list.

Tjose giys rumored for Kela are trash.

It's all good man. We're all just frustrated this season.

Four minutes in and already a horse and pony show.

Throwing to bases is going to be a problem tonight, I see.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Is it sad that I’d celebrate hamels being traded no matter what the return is?

Maybe Romeo will not see this post. You must love self inflicted abuse.

Joey with a perfect throw to prevent a run and a IFsac rbi to tie the game. Credit due.
