I would agree that Scherzer is a better pitcher, but he's going to have to be a bit more successful in the playoffs before he could lay claim to shitting out Lester. [Reply]

no argument from me. Every poster in this thread was adamant we should sign Scherzer that off season. He made it clear that he wanted to come home. Still pisses me off. :-) [Reply]

Crazy.
Carp doesn’t have a no trade clause. I love Carp but it’s in the best interests of the Cardinals to see what we could get for him and Carlos. The Cards never sell high. It’s time to do that and get ready for 2019.
Mikolas and J Martinez are found money. Trade for the best haul you can get. Surely there is an American League team that can use a starter and a bat? [Reply]

He would actually fit in nicely on the Yankees. Don’t know if they’re interested or not, but a phone call wouldn’t hurt.
They have a great farm system to trade with to . . . . . [Reply]
Cubs reportedly in on Familia, along with the A's and he didn't even warm up for the Mets in their 7-5 win over the Yankees. Interesting.
Given that Hand with 3+ years of control and Cimber with 5+ years of control went for 1 guy in the top 20 with questions about remaining as a catcher, I can't imagine guys like Familia or Britton are going to cost as much as rentals of years past. [Reply]
He hasn’t been right since he came off the DL. Some kind of BS “injury” to give him a break or not, he needed a break. We are not doing shit this year. No matter if Shildt is the real deal or not. We don’t have the talent and too far behind and too many teams in front.
Sell at the trade deadline and start preparing for 2019. [Reply]

Baez has always been a moron, which is why the Cubs should consider moving him in the offseason, because although they can afford the arb increases, this is his career year. It's hard to maintain consistent offensive success with a 7:1 K-BB ratio. Plus, his expected hitting stats (xBA, xSLG, xwOBA) forecast negative regression. [Reply]
