San Francisco Giants trade RHP Robbie Ray to San Diego Padres for RHP Miguel Mendez and SS Joniel Hernandez. Twenty-four long hours ago, when we were all much younger and more energized, I wrote about...

let’s do it. let’s humiliate john mozeliak

MLB Trade Rumors@mlbtraderumors.bsky.social · 2d ago

jake rogers must have made a really rough first impression on mike elias

fun deadline

how can you have a deal arranged if one side hasn’t agreed

Don@oriolesreview.bsky.social · 2d ago

Per Buster Olney, just now on X: The Red Sox and O’s have a deal arranged for Adley Rutschman. Prospects, medicals set. Red Sox just need to say yay or nay.

caleb killian has a 66 dra- since may 12 (and a 6.15 era)

Good morning. Last night I wrote about the big trade of the weekend. That's right, Tyler Mahle has been assigned exactly 1.0 Kremer Units, which makes him a good pickup for the Braves. As for the Giants... I was less kind to the Giants.

TA: In Atlanta, Quantity is Job One | Baseball Prospectus

San Francisco Giants trade RHP Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves for RHP Anthony Molina. Although heaven knows who Tyler Mahle even is, anymore. Then man has worn so many caps, thrown with so many arm...

keaschall might have the worst throwing arm of any current major leaguer

i would not have thought this was physically possible

SF Giants Bot@giantbot.bsky.social · 3d ago

🤖 MLB 🔁 by Alex Pavlovic Wade Meckler goes yard off Jacob Misiorowski 😳

they're in west sacramento on a 104-degree day, that's pretty strange too. maybe they just didn't want skubal to have to sit through the heat

Lauren Theisen@laurentheisen.bsky.social · 3d ago

well, yeah, I mean look at the dateline

we were very close to rouglas odor (uncle of rougned) getting into a coaches brawl while the grounds crew tried to put the tarp on the field

olivia miles

tyler locklear has six starts at first base this year and -4 oaa. how is this possible

i've always said that the mets need more québécois players

i doubt he will ever throw 150 innings in a season but river ryan having a 2.87 fip in the pcl is genuinely superhuman. the league average is 5.49 lol

jed hoyer is crying refreshing michael busch's bref page, waiting for the slugging percentage to reach .400; look at what you've done to him

building a skubal trade out of matt beaty, 1/2 of michael busch, and a third round pick is fucking nuts btw

sorry to hear that tarik skubal is getting another elbow surgery. not what anyone wanted to hear

why is maya joint playing a midnight doubles final before 1st round masters 1000 qualifying in a different country in the afternoon

big leaguers are really just not that good

Kansas City Royals@royals.com · last wk.

Fine and Randy.

logan o’hoppe was just 18 months away from being the first negative career fwar player with >2000 pa since chris owings (2013 debut) now he’s on a real baseball team; this is devastating news

alexandra whitley@alexandraw.bsky.social · last wk.

warp: 0.7 career w/ -1.1 in the last two years fwar: 0.9 career w/ -1.6 in the last two years so if the angels give o'hoppe another full year he should get there, or two partial years

Box Score Banter: Topsy-Turvy Joc Pederson | Baseball Prospectus

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Still waiting for Grant McCray to look like a good defensive outfielder

logan o'hoppe might end up with negative career war

carson whisenhunt has one good pitch, barely throws it in the zone, and the angels can’t stop swinging at it. remarkably bad approach

congratulations to the washington nationals on finding a starter with a worse fip than their current rotation collectively has. i know many of us, myself included, didn't think they could pitch worse

skenes is one of the most washed pitchers ever

still annoyed by how bad this looks

alexandra whitley@alexandraw.bsky.social · 2w ago

the angels hall of fame weekend hat is maybe the ugliest thing ever worn on a big league diamond

also who scheduled there to be only one mountain/pacific time zone series this weekend and have it be angels/giants
