That explains it. I think that’s a bit of a newer trend.
Letting it heal naturally normally takes a while before you can swing with it (and then there’s a pain tolerance question that determines when you can play) and saps power for a long time. [Reply]
How much longer until Bubba gets his shot? Also Khalil Lee has gotten alot better at stealing bases, 34 SBs already. His high before this year his high was 20. He's my favorite prospect in our system. If he can develop A little more power, then he's a 5 tool guy. [Reply]
Why the fuck is Kyle Zimmer not on the big league roster? We keep running out complete trash and brings up trash, but can't give Zimmer another shot. His numbers look bad because of a 12.54 ERA in April, but has turned it around since then. His ERA in May was 3.07, June was 3.46, and July is 0 in 3.2 innings and has only allowed 1 hit this month. Bring him up. [Reply]
Watching Sports Talk Live out of Chicago & these reporters really want Merrifield but say the Cubs don’t have enough prospects to get him.
Their twitter is hilarious. They keep throwing out shit like Schwarber and Almora and Russell for him.
The only deal I’ve seen on twitter that was close was one from a SanDiego fan who proposed Luis Urias, Ryan Weathers, and Buddy Reed for him. And that was maybe a bit light. [Reply]

While I don't expect a deal to materialize...we ARE in a sellers market so far. Too many teams close enough to the wild card. Makes things interesting for us, at least. [Reply]
As bad as I don't want to see Whit leave, I wouldn't mind if he went somewhere and got his WS ring. Especially after his was given to Mondesi in 2015. [Reply]

No it wasn't. Whit wasn't even in the plans for 2015. [Reply]
This is the absolute perfect time to move Whit. You just have to do it. If Matias, Melendez & Pratto were all raking I wouldn't be as keen to move him. But those guys are fucking failures and our window is delayed. [Reply]
