:-) To make it even more wild Puig just got in the middle of a fight even though he's not even on the team anymore.

He looks good...easy speed! I have high hopes for him.
[Reply]

So Cincy goes all in...Cleveland deals a dude they don't wanna pay and the Padres give up a guy with 27 HR's but really is a DH, a Soler type, and a fringe top 100 prospect for the #30 prospect in baseball?

The Padres really are taking the stockpiling prospects shit to heart.

That didn't last long.

#Astros acquire catcher Martín Maldonado from #Cubs, sources tell The Athletic.

Which of our resident idiots will be jumping up and down about this one?
[Reply]

Maldonado has been passed around more often than the clap.

Cubs will be retiring Martin Maldonado's number as soon as they remember which number he was.

Y'all really aren't gonna get Ian Kennedy traded?

Well that's surprising. There are teams that would definitely like to get their hands on that guy. He's been awfully good in relief and you see trades like the Josh Fields for Yordan Alvarez debacle every couple of seasons. Paddack was a wild card, Luis Castillo, Fernando Tatis Jr...

All of these guys were just 'meh' prospects when moved that turned into real assets. Surely the Royals know that they're pissing into the wind if they keep Kennedy around.

The Royals refuse to eat any money hence why trades don't happen.
