Cubs better win soon because another Yankee dynasty may be coming in the next 5-10 years. Maybe sooner than that. The 2019 Yankees are going to be so good, Lorenzo could be their manager and they would still win 100 games C-Gary Sanchez 1B-Greg Bird 2B-Jorge Mateo SS-Gleyber Torres 3B-Miguel Andujar OF-Aaron Judge OF-Clint Frazier OF-Blake Rutherford DH-Robert Refsnyder

Well, the prospects would have to produce. The Astros have called up some this season and their first taste of the majors has been not so good.

Yet we don't know to where since he vetoed the Cleveland deal.
Edit: I'm reading the Indians would've had Lucroy as a backup? Seriously? Who would think Gomes is better than Lucroy?

Don't much care for the Melancon trade but I get why they did it, smart baseball money wise.

The Cubs are so hard to watch sometimes. Last night's game was amazing though. The bullpen was phenomenal. Call me impressed with the Yankees "rebuild" right now. They're turning a corner right now with some huge young chips. They always have the flexibility to add talent through FA so getting young via expiring contracts is how it's done. I think everyone on Earth knows they are stockpiling money for the Bryce Harper deal too. So all of their moves seem to fit with one another. Most interested to see where Matt Moore goes. Seems like that's the guy the Cubs want. As long as the Giants don't get him I can probably live with it.

The Pirates have acquired LHP Antonio Bastardo from the Mets for LHP Jonathon Niese. Lets examine this, the Pirates traded the guy they traded ing Neil Walker for back to the Mets for a pitcher they traded last year. Yea, ok.

Yasiel Puig is pissed. Does anybody think a team will claim him off waivers and take on the remainder of his salary which is about 2 yrs/$14 million?

I definitely think the Rangers won today. They gave up a lot but they're in win now looking to win the World Series that eluded them earlier this decade. They got a great catcher, shored up the bullpen and one of the greatest postseason hitters of all time.
The Brewers made out well, not to mention the Yankees. I just can't get behind the Giants getting Smith and Moore and what they gave up.

Can the Pirates stop trading all the pitchers on the roster? Please? No? K.

The Yankees are going to be scary good. I look at teams who have gotten better these last few days and I can only hope the Cubs make it happen.

I thought Brian Cashman did an incredible job. Clint Frazier is a stud and can be patrolling the corner outfield spots with Aaron Judge as soon as next year. In fact, if all goes well, the Yankees could have Sanchez, Bird, Frazier, & Judge contributing next season. That's pretty awesome.
Dillon Tate is already a reclamation project. I'm going to be very curious to see if he regains his pre-draft form because, if he does, he instantly becomes their best pitching prospect.

You have prospects who struggle and then become fine major leaguers. Maybe Tate needs a new organization.
