Here's a sobering thought. I have been and O's fan and lived through the entire tenure of the once mighty Oakland A's.

Grayson with his MLB tying 11th win. That’s surprising to me for some reason. Good for him.

Good pitcher + good offense equals lots of wins.

12-4 in his 16 starts

12-6 in Burnes' 18 starts

6-2 in Bradish's 8 starts

27-21 in the other 48 games

 

Pretty impressive to still be on a 90-win pace even for the back-end guys.  But I'd still like one more good SP so we can both have the best shot at the division and have better matchups in the postseason.

Can you imagine Kimbrel AND a healthy Bautista in the back end?

Team option for Kimbrel, let’s make it happen next year.

Let's add Ryan Helsley too.

Yeah yeah I know he's probably not being dealt. I can dream.

He’s who I want the most too but yeah, doubt they’re selling.

Texas has Robertson, Yates, and LeClerc. All vet closers. Add one of them

Yates was added to the All-Star team today. I'd like to get him for the rest of this season. (Provided Texas sells, of course.)

Which iteration? The A's of the 70s who knocked the Orioles out of the playoffs twice, or the Bash Brothers version?

I'm not so sure the Rangers are in selling mode. Despite their underwhelming play so far, they're only 6 games back.

He is my choice, but I think we are both dreaming. The Cardinals are a wild card team right now.  I think we get 2 relievers this month, but I don't think either is Heasley

Me too.  In a lot of ways, it is a sad ending to a storied franchise.

 

In fairness, though that ballpark is a dump.  I went to a few games there about 15 years ago and it was a dump then.

I bet Fabian or Beavers gets him straight up.

They have a huge three-game series next weekend in Houston.
