On this day in 1973, Nolan Ryan threw his second no-hitter of the season. The Tigers were helpless against Ryan’s ferocious pitch mix, managing just four base runners on walks while striking out 17 times.

Just a couple weeks ago he was all but bragging at how aggressive we were going to be on the market this year. I get it. It takes two to tango, but acting like Arrighetti would be the acquisition we need/expected to make after his previous comments is laughable IMO.
He has to be careful with what he says on public record. If he seems desperate, teams will demand more in return. Take all of that with a grain of salt.
It's also his first year as a GM. He hasn't perfected the art of bsing yet
This is why I wish they would go back to two divisions per league.Mathguy64 said:
The AL Central is so bad. If you can't win a Division by at least going .500 you should be banned from the playoffs.
Seems weird to have him in a picture holding up a ball that's says #3?

Understood, but if that's the case, perhaps it would have been best just to shut his trap from the beginning and let things work behind the scenes. One of the worst sins a first-year GM can make is overpromise and underdeliver IMO. Then again, maybe this is bluff of sorts to other teams who think we are desperate? I don't know, doubt any of us do. I do know that he has painted himself in such a corner publicly that he must make a splash or two...and I doubt Arrighetti will count as one to the fanbase.
Yordan Alvarez worked out today in Houston and is feeling better, Dusty Baker said. It’s still unclear when he’ll start his rehab assignment.

He sound exactly like the Marlins GM. She was on the radio the other day saying how this deadline might be slow due to the amount of sellers.
Some of the sellers are short term sellers. The Cardinals don't plan on sucking in 2024. They'll ditch the guys with 1 year left but probably keep guys like Goldy & Arenado.
Maybe it's just me, but Yordan has to be the sickliest large Cuban in the world.
Yordan is injury prone unfortunately
will max out at 120 games played this year

There's also a reason he mentioned Arrighetti specifically. It's all a game. He's fishing for interest.

He did get a hit last week so I think he's turning a corner.
Hell yeah for a JV return if Mets covered some chunk of his contract.

If he's only a hitter, he's still gonna demand a big return, just not as big. That would be the most angels thing ever
Astros have also inquired on Lance Lynn (as well as a few other guys on the White Sox). He's pitching today. I'm assuming the interest comes from him being cheap and able to eat innings. Don't think he's a high priority by any means.
I appreciate you sharing what you hear with us.
That being said, I really hope they don't do this. They might view him as a reclaimation project, but he is as stubborn as they come, There have to be better guy out there.

Not only are the Mets dead in the East, they are all but dead in the WC. They are 8 games out and buried behind 4 other teams.
Cohen already decided not to can Showalter. Mistake #1.
Does he decide to keep this expensive POS team together or get back what he can? The problem is he doesn't care about the money.

Lynn is also tied for most homers given up this season to date - 23. No thanks. Maybe the Rangers will get him.

Update on Lynn - he's already given up two homers in the first three innings tonight against the Braves. Now up to 25 homers given up.

To be fair I'm betting that the Braves are getting to bat with Judge's and Albert's balls this season.
Hard no on Lynn.
Ryan Pressly has retired 30 of the last 31 batters he's faced and hasn't allowed a hit to the last 42 batters he's faced.

But we need a closer at the trade deadline!!
You can never have too many closers come the postseason!
