Josh Donaldson retiring.
All the pictures on X were of him in a brewers jersey and I'm not going to lie, I completely forgot he was on the crew last season.

Cole down for 1-2 months (and that may be optimistic). Dylan Cease to the Yankees makes a lot of sense.

Blake Snell and/or Jordan Montgomery your number is called.

Snell would be a bargain. He'd only cost about $80M for one year.

The Yankees are already way over the luxury tax limit. Any money spent on Snell or Montgomery will cost them an extra 10%. Cease is at 8 million with 2 years of control and a better pitcher (at least imo). I'd make that phone call first.

Yankees have the money.

There are a few prospects the Yankees have declared off limits and they are asking for some of those prospects for Cease.  Not going to happen.

It actually is an extra 110%. So if they sign Snell for $40M, it costs them $84 M.

Sure, they have money. But they already have a payroll north of 300 million and a rotation of Carls Rodon (extremely iffy, coming off of an injury), Nestor Cortes (see Rodon), Marcus Stroman and Clarke Schmidt. Do they want to sign Snell (who's not exactly an innings eater) and add 45 million or sign younger, more reliable Cease for 8 million this year and cheap next year too. Word is that both Texas (logical) and SD (not as much) are also pursuing Cease. I think the Yankees should seriously consider  trading a couple of their heretofore untouchables for Cease.

Cease to the Padres for some prospects
Ramsey head thoroughly up his ass.

Pakuni

Cease to the Padres.
No word yet on the return other than "multiple notable prospects," according to The Athletic.

For fun, I put MLB Desist into the Google just to see if there was ever a player with that name.

The 1st link was for..., Dylan Cease.

Devin Williams out 3 months with back fractures.

Where you see that?!?!

Duran is down hence my oblique comment. But Buxton played today and I haven't seen anything about him hurt

From Rotoworld:

Twins scratched Byron Buxton from Monday's game with low back tightness on the right side. There is no word yet on the severity of the injury, and the team is likely just being cautious with their oft-injured star, but it's a bit of a concern given his length injury history.
