Donaldson not signing another 1 yr and I have no interest in that

My guess is he’ll take this year and jump on with an AL team.

Yeah especially since we are getting Rendon in FA

Webb has been DL with a right elbow impingement and Ynoa called up

Not great bob

I know he is hurt but is O'Day done for the season?

I liked what I saw from Ynoa. Maybe a blessing in disguise

Here’s why I’m not totally opposed to trading Waters. BTW I really like him and think he will be a good player. But here’s my reasoning.

1) We will have Acuna & Pache. We know Riley isn’t a disaster in LF. We are trading a little from a position of strength.

2) He’s a switch hitter so it’s gonna take some time for him to develop. Like I don’t think he’s in the majors before 2021.

3) His value is super high right now but he has a .459 BABIP and 26% k rate. That is not sustainable haha. His value could drop over the next year or two.

Who would play 3B long-term in this scenario?

Camargo or Riley. Or we go out and get a guy

He was close to returning in May but had another setback. I haven't heard or seen anything since then.

20-6 in our last 26 games

You kept Riley in LF but I did forget about CamarGoat!

I wondered why we went with heart attack giving Minter over Webb for the save yesterday!

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I’m for keeping Riley in left and resigning Donaldson for next year

I think that happens. IMO, Donaldson seems to be really enjoying himself and I think he grew up a Braves fan so he's probably living a dream right now.

I also don't see them starting the season with two starting rookie outfielders especially since neither has made it to Gwinnett as of yet.

Curious to see more of Ynoa. He looked great his first time up.

It too early to start making projections, but he has closer stuff with that fastball/slider combo

The Giants are up 12-0 on the Rockies.

It’s the top of the 3rd

Greinke is #1 trade candidate in MLB per article I just read

Rockies suck. Also had 4 all stars

I don’t think any one singular move increases our WS chances. They’re pretty decent to begin with.

Now we get Colome, Will Smith, and Stroman then we can talk.

What are your thoughts on Wheeler with one of those BP arms?

Edit: Didn’t see above post. Damn, I think we could have gotten him for Allard plus a lower level prospect!

 

[The Sheriff]

Ouch

Stroman to the Yankees incoming!
