He's an upgrade over their lineup of mostly .210 hitters.bmac_aggie18 said:
Mariners acquire Justin Turner from TOR. He's 39.249 with a .254/.349/.371 Slash Line and a 0.3 WAR on the season. Is this how they "go for it"?

Once we flatline, I'll have no problem rooting for Seattle. It will be fun seeing October baseball at Safeco again.
I don't think we are Fedde or Pham. CBA gives guys like three days to report to new team after trade.
Jung and Bradford activated, Duran and Garabito up
Smith leading off with Semien batting 3rd
It's about damn time!
Smith 3B
Seager SS
Semien 2B

Jung activated and not starting is weird to me

Think it is to ease him back in. Would think he will be available to pinch hit.

Like said above, probably just want to ease him back. Duran is swinging a hot bat. Was named PCL player of the week.
Carter to 60. No surprise.
Stevenson also tweeted that deGrom, Bradford, and Jung were on the same flight this morning to St. Louis. I'd have like to have been in that boarding line.
Duran in DH, so, maybe concern Jung wasn't going to get into town early enough?! PH, maybe?!

Didn't see anyone post... Gray to IL. No surprise.

What am I missing? Should be one more addition to the active roster, right?

That's right!
It might have to do with traveling to Toronto.

here is the answer:
Josh Jung says today was a scheduled day off after playing the past three games. Will be available off the bench.

Hopefully this means we've seen the last of Willie Calhoun...oops I meant to say Nick Solack...darn it...Justin Foscue. They're so easy to confuse

Why would deGrom be going? He hasn't even rehabbed, right?DallasAg 94 said:

Must win series. Not sure how we can lose this series and feel confident going forward. Unless we get some help from Seattle and Houston and they lose a few.
I'm so glad Kninzer is gone. Don't know who's worse with the bat, Hedges or him.
At least we liked Hedges and hedges was elite defensively tho.

Hedgie also had elite motivation skills, maybe that's why our team offense is so down
Who's going to catch Scherzer now? That's the biggest question with the Knizner move.

infielder Davis Wendzel was designated for assignment, and
righty Austin Pruitt (who was on the 60-day IL) has been released.
Also his cheerleading and facial reactions during the World Series were second to none.bmac_aggie18 said:Grapesoda2525 said:

Seems like a little bit of house cleaning.
10 of the 11 signed players drafted this month were College players. No NWL... it will be interesting to see where some of these guys go.
This org seems to have a metric ton of those dudes.
JD loved that player profile.
Keeping an eye on a developing trade with Astros.
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/astros-close-to-acquiring-yusei-kikuchi.html
If those are the only 2 pieces, I think he is a desperate move. An upgrade... but a way OVERPAY!

I would think the only way that happens is if the Astros are dumping Montero on them. 6 years of team control for a Rookie for a Rental?!Quote:
The Astros are close to acquiring left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, per Jim Bowden of The Athletic on X. The deal will see right-hander Jake Bloss, who was scratched from tonight's start for Houston, heading to the Jays.

Nice and efficient there.
IMO the only reason Foscue even sniffed the major league roster is because the Rangers don't want to accept that they blew another draft pick. Nothing he has done in the minors to this point warranted a promotion.
Jimbo Franchione
Agreed
I still cringe when I think of the Dillon Tate draft.rbtexan said:

What a massive stinker
That Astros trade though
