2025 MLB Season

[Uncle Rico]

...and I was at the Championship game in Lambeau.

Cold

In Milwaukee?  Won't catch me entering Milwaukee.  Nobody gets out of there alive.

In comparison to "what about Chicago", Milwaukee is much safer but still a hellhole with a lot of non-whites

Congrats on the dental degree BTW.

He finally got out of that crime ridden hellhole that is Chicago and finally feels safe

In Milwaukee??? Did you learn nothing from our dear, departed dentists and their crime reports?

White Sox fans, did Vaughn show any flashes of this? I know he was a first round pick and obviously the Brewers saw something to trade for him, but this turnaround seems pretty wild.

Part of the "fun and enjoyment," of being a White Sox fan is watching your third overall pick succeed, regardless of what city he now calls home.

Besides, they won the Friday night game against the Cubs without him. Not much else matters.

I don't know why the networks even bother to televise anything other than the team with the best record.

Nobody gets out of life alive.  Make a positive impact during your assigned nanosecond.

He was good when he first came up, but fell off entirely when he lost all the lineup protection around him (i.e. back when Abreu, Robert, Anderson, Eloy, etc. were good).

The knock on Vaughn more recently is that he wasn't the hardest worker or best clubhouse guy. This comes directly from a former teammate, among others. Maybe the trade/demotion served as a wakeup call. Or maybe he's just on a hot streak. Time will tell.

MVPete making it up for single-handedly costing the Cubs the last game.

Glad he's your choice for Cubs team MVP.

It's between him and Tuck and it's not particularly close. They're both elite - would be stupid to say they're not. But his play last night might also be the worse of the rest of his career

Everyone has a bad game sometimes. Ohtani went 0-5 with 4 Ks yesterday, and he's the runaway choice to repeat as NL MVP.

Obviously, Ohtani is on the backside of his career.

The Dodgers should recruit over him through the portal.

No no no. That's Pete Crow Armstrong. You know, MVPete.

Detroit content to stockpile journeyman arms and hope they catch lighting in a bottle.  With the return of Carpenter and with Ibanez showing signs that he can ambush lefties again, it feels like the Tigers brain trust thinks they have enough hitting. 
  Suarez to Seattle ends Detroit's pursuit of a bat, IMO.

[Uncle Rico]

Suarez to the M's, Mets and Phillies playing bullpen wars.  Reds trying.

The Mariners are going for it.

Raleigh has been in a slump, but if he gets going again, and the new guys do their jobs, that's a legit pennant contender.

Think this is the play...there just are not enough bats available. Relievers are so volatile that bites at the apple are the way to go

[JWags85]

Cubs need help and so far only add a low floor high ceiling starter in Soroka.  He's been better than his record/ERA shows, but man thats a shaky start to an important deadline.

[cheebs09]

Glad that Suárez stayed out of the NL Central.

[Pakuni]

AJ Preller is a maniac.
Good on him for continually going for it, but giving up two of your top three prospects, including the #3 prospect overall, for a closer who's never played for a contender is mighty bold.

Absurd package. He's obviously elite and under control for a long time. But holy crap

Cubs are adding Kittredge as well.  Today I'm hoping for a quality starter and a bench upgrade.

Taillon, Assad, and Amaya will also be back here shortly so one way or another there will be lots of upcoming roster movement.  Wouldn't mind seeing Cassie or Alcantara after the deadline as well if they are still here.

Glad that Suárez stayed out of the NL Central.

Me too!
