This happens another year or 2 some teams will start complaining about the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Hopefully when this all washes out, we’re left with the Yankees, Orioles, Astros, and Guardians playing in the Division Series. Same in the NL- give me Dodgers, Padres, Brewers, and Phillies. Let’s have the chalk battle it out this October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said if they get mowed down by AL East/West opponents like NY, Balt and Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockies made it more difficult for the D'Backs and put the Cubs out of it. You play to win every game because sucking in April and May my look even worse Sept. "Plenty of baseball left" is the wrong attitude coming from a manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 What a choke job from the Twins. Weren't they up by like 5 games 2 weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Jeffers the poster child for everything that went wrong down the stretch. Royce Lewis went into a huge skid too. Mariners and Twins both choked. Braves just had too many injuries to overcome....but they could still make it if KC relaxes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 (edited) How Cole Ragans Built On His Breakout Season October 14th, 2024 at 9:38pm CST • By Mark Polishuk "Ragans turns 27 in December, and still has another full season remaining before reaching salary arbitration. Locking up Ragans to a contract extension would help the Royals get some cost certainty over a pitcher whose ceiling only seems to be rising, plus the rotation could use some solidification since Wacha will surely exercise his opt-out clause and test free agency again. On the flip side, since Ragans is under team control through his age-30 season and already has two Tommy John surgeries on his resume, the Royals might well hold off on any serious extension talks and just go year-by-year with Ragans for now. Deciding how to best deal with the unexpected windfall of a frontline pitcher is a nice problem for the Royals to have, and in hindsight the Ragans trade was the first sign that K.C. was going to able to rebound from its 106-loss disaster. An inability to develop homegrown pitching prospects stalled the Royals’ rebuild for years, so there is some irony in the fact that the team’s emergence has now been led in part by another team’s seemingly stalled prospect." https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/10/how-cole-ragans-built-on-his-breakout-season.html Edited November 8 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM The Royals just traded Sox killer Brady Singer for Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer. Should help Witt Jr some on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubic Lynch Marsh were all trade bait but they traded Singer instead to get a true leadoff hitter in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
