DODGERS NEWS/RUMORS/AROUND MLB Thread

As a caveat to rampant over confidence, which never works out it seems...ever...the Phillies have the best record in MLB since the AS break.
Yup...

 

Holy shit (no idea when this was, but it was on Reddit and is awesome):

This past week I think

 

It was very impressive but it was a perfect storm, a catcher running. Howie did an amazing glove flip for the force but Aybar was running this past weekend,

 

Joe Panik to the DL!!!! Nice debut for D Price however it was a team he owns this year so the next start will be the true test.

 

Some great teams in both leagues. Gonna be tough and entertaining.

 

I agree. I don't think I've seen this many teams that are so deep and dangerous ever before. This should be a hell of a postseason in baseball.

Brandon Beachy Clears Waivers, Accepts Outright Assignment
By Steve Adams [August 3, 2015 at 3:17pm CDT]
Dodgers right-hander Brandon Beachy has cleared outright waivers after being designated for assignment last week, reports SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo (via Twitter).

Beachy, who turns 29 in one month, signed a one-year, $2.75MM contract with the Dodgers this winter after being non-tendered by the Braves on the heels of his second Tommy John surgery. He’s spent most of the season on the 60-day disabled list, but he did reach the point last month where the Dodgers felt he could join the big league rotation. After pitching to a 3.28 ERA in six rehab starts, Beachy made a pair of starts with the Dodgers, allowing seven runs in eight total innings.

Beachy will have the option to reject an assignment to the minor leagues in favor of free agency, but as a player with fewer than five years of Major League service time, he would have to forfeit the remaining $947K on his contract to do so. His deal comes with a $3MM team option that jumped to $3.5MM upon making his first start of the season and will jump another $500K upon making five and 10 total starts. A $250K buyout would be added if he were to reach 10 total innings on the season. (Contract details via Cot’s Contracts.)

Because of that, it seems rather unlikely that Beachy would test the free agent waters at this juncture, though the Dodgers’ additions of both Mat Latos and Alex Wood have obstructed his path to another look in the big league rotation for the time being. Beachy, of course, has an excellent track record in the Majors when healthy. From 2010-13 with Atlanta, he posted a 3.23 ERA, 9.2 K.9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 267 2/3 innings. Durability has been an issue since reaching the Major Leagues, however, as he’s topped 100 innings just once in his career and made 10 starts in a season just twice.

 

Weather here on the east coast is disgustingly hot and humid. Very close, stagnant air. And a weather system of storms due Tues./Wed. Possibly.
Then cooler later in the week.
Point is, games maybe iffy at best early in the series,
BTW, Panik replacement just scored the go ahead run in the 12th inning in Atlanta. Of course, Posey got the RBI hit.
Figures...

 

Adrian Beltre hit for the Cycle for Texas.

 

Bravo to the bravos

 

Fucking Kike ruined the near no-no for Kershaw a few weeks ago!
