I don't think either of them have said that they are hearing anything on Jac. Just that they are believers in him.

What a good fucking post.

Ooh. I like Oakie.

I want Wetherholt very much personally.

Law new mock. Will share the top 5 with blurbs and list out the top 10. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5572706/2024/06/19/mlb-mock-draft-2024-charlie-condon-bryce-rainer/

Feelsgoodman.

Cannon is going to be horse.

I think if it comes down to College Pitcher or Cags/Kurtz, I'm going Hagen Smith or Burns 100% of the time.

New BA mock. Has Cleveland underslotting with #1. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2024-mlb-mock-draft-4-0-projecting-the-top-39-picks/ 1.) Guardians - Wetherholt 2.) Reds - Condon 3.) Rockies - Burns 4.) A's - Bazzana 6.) Royals - Smith 7.) Cardina's - Rainer 8.) Angels - Montgomery 9.) Pirates - Griffin 10.) Nationals - Kurtz

This is not going well.

Who fixed Vaughn?!

Weather.

The hell? You suck.

Whole lot of discourse out there last night/this morning how college baseball might need to do something about bats/balls again. Could get dangerous. Also hard to assess player's true capabilities with the super fun ball they are using this season.

Potentially relevant in Mariners trade packages.

Nastrini has walked the first 3 batters he's faced. Also a wild pitch on a spiked fastball. No bueno.

Ouch.

How do we get a Brian Bannister for hitting?

I like Painter. But I need another piece. Painter, Crawford, and Caba would do it for me. Though I'd really want Miller instead of Painter. Both are top 20ish prospects.

The White Sox. Need more than that.

There's a twitter thread Jimmy is a part of discussing this. He posits that the White Sox need to maximize returns, and teams are very reluctant moving position prospects in today's landscape. So if teams are more willing to trade top end pitching versus top end position players, that's what they will take back.
