He's one of the most extreme ground ball pitchers in the league. I'm not sure how much the home park plays into that.

And he can get a K. Exactly why I'd like to see him in Arlington. I think with Mike Maddux or another top flight pitching coach he could excel.

This should be fun. I guess the Pads want someone to take on Jedd Gyorko's contract with Ross or Cashner? Haha good luck with that. Owed $32 mill the next 4 years. A combined -0.3 WAR the last two years after a good rookie year.

Hoping for something crazy out of nowhere.

Padres/Cubs is getting like the Yankees and the KC Athletics in the 50s.

I'm rooting for you, Toronto.

My team has finished in last place in the division 3 of the last 4 seasons, so...

And a World Series in the other season. I would be completely ok with that.

I'm just pointing out that my support only helps 25% of the time... at least with respect to MLB and the last four seasons.

Well my support has seen a 22-year playoff drought, so I'll take 25%.

Forget your age. You remember the early 90s teams pretty well I assume? At the time I hated those teams but not the players on the teams. If that makes sense.

I was 8 when they won it in '92. So the '92 and '93 teams are my first memories of baseball.

The baseball gods were like "Look how great baseball can be! You should be a fan!" and I was like "Yeah, this is awesome!" then they were like "lol jk"

Ha nice. As a Rangers fan since 1990 (I was 9) I feel your pain.

is this the most active the Jays have been around the deadline since then?

danny haren to the cubs would've sounded great in 2008.

I honestly can't remember a time where the Jays were adding at the deadline. The traded Kent for Cone in '92, but I was too young to remember that.

Those early 90s teams were super active at the deadline IIRC.

2 more pitching prospects for Cespedes. 6 of the Top 15 prospects in the Tigers system have been acquired in the past day and a half. Which is awesome, but also very damning about where the system was at.
