    Not a surprise but Julio sent down. No news on who is up which is probably upcoming. Hoping it's a JDL call up. Yasiel is ok and available off the bench.

    In the AL East. Archer is at least a great #2 when hes going right.

    My guess is it's an outfielder. They don't need a 5th starter for a while and they'll call up a pitcher the day they need him. Already have an 8 man bullpen so they need a position player. Can't be Culberson or Walters, so that leaves Barnes or Micah, and I'll go with Micah cause they need an OF

    Didn't cross my mind about the need for a starter which is a duh moment lol. Why is Micah being called an OF'er? Listed as a 2nd baseman.

    So we sign all these cubanz and international players...how come nobody wants those guys in a trade? They only take calls for our domestic players. Are the cubanz just not that good? Serious question.

    Played a good amount of LF and maybe even some CF. just feels like OF would be a current roster need and he's the best bet available on the 40 man

    A lot of them are teenagers and/or just recently signed that the Dodgers probably have a much higher value on them then others cause they've presumably scouted them much more extensively then other teams. Could see them involved in more trade talks in a few years IMO

    Joe Mcgrane is the worst. Random, but just saying.

    I don't really want CarGo either. I don't want a guy who has crazy home/road L/R scary splits. I just want a freaking good hitter. No asterisks. A guy who can hit in the same spot every night against any pitcher and give us good results.

    Stanton AND Fernandez

    The White Sox are taking quite a few calls from rival organizations after reports emerged yesterday that the club is prepared to sell. While the extent of the sell-off isn’t yet apparent, and staff aces Chris Sale and Jose Quintana figure to be the most difficult pieces to pry loose, Jon Heyman of Fan Rag writes that the South Siders are at least willing to hear scenarios involving the top southpaws.

    Per the report, the Red Sox are among the teams to have logged a phone call with the Chicago brass. Heyman suggests that Boston could theoretically also have interest in reliever David Robertson, and also notes that the Dodgers will surely check in on Sale in Quintana. No doubt plenty of other teams will also; as the recent chatter surrounding Chris Archer shows, controllable standouts draw wide interest no matter the time of year.



    Sale would be amazing, but the price is most likely insane.

    So just red that the WSox and Rangers might be talking about Sale, and the WSox might be asking for Profar and Gallo.......Looking at their stats both seem to me that a package of Joc and Puig would be smilar to Profar/Gallo. Am I missing something???
