Good to get a win in a 17 inning game.

Pineda might be turning things around. The last 2 months have been pretty solid.

Royals starting pitching has been pretty good lately. It feels sorta weird to be happy to win a series from them but even some bad teams have some good stretches.

Can you believe we have this Polonco guy locked in for as many as 6 years? Hell of a contract at this point.

CJ Cron what a pickup that guy has been. 4.8 million for a guy playing a solid 1b and having a career year so far after having a career year last year. I know we have guys coming up but will his having another year of arbitration keep his salary down to a place it makes sense to keep him another year? I mostly get arbitration but it seems like the salaries tend to be lower than the open market.

Also Cleveland keeps hanging around.

We are 7-3 over last ten. Should we begin to panic?

When I saw Rosario went down last night I asked my brother if La Tortuga would be playing in CF by the end of the night. Word is Lamonte Wade and his nifty walk to strikeout rate is coming up. Arreaz just keeps hitting.

I was waiting for which pitcher was going to play left field lol. Boy Arreaz has been a pleasant surprise it's nice to know we have our 2nd baseman for 2020 locked up. I'm Working on a Top 20 twins prospect list and prospects we could trade for pitchers based on need and salary for other teams. Also I'm trying to compare the same type of deals from previous years. Hoping to have it up by this weekend, just moved last weekend so that's taking a lot of my time. Sad to say my man Rooker is a real candidate to be traded for a reliever.

I'm looking forward to your list.

My brother said last night that Gibson is an emergency OFer.

Rooker has been racking. I am curious for your list. I was hoping Romero would be the guy. Would he be better off as a starter? He seems to have taken a step back.

Kepler is pulling a Rosario this season turning into the guy you don't want to deal after a lot of chatter about possibly him getting moved.

Nelson Cruz hasn't slowed down except when actually hurt.

Pineda with another good start.

Another starter would be welcome but right now this team seems to need relievers if it wants to make a playoff run.

It's still too early but Romero could be showing why sometimes dealing prospects for established players can be a good strategy.
