Cleveland will be in the race until the end as well.
The Flags continue to bolster their minor league system with young talent. I hate them too, but they are accumulating a lot of talent.

Details of the matter are not apparent, with the club stating that it wishes to “respect[] the privacy of Colby and his family.”

What's crazy is I never even noticed the old jerseys were often zippers instead of buttons. I thought they had always been buttons. Guess I'm not very observant.

So all those years, all we needed to do was get Punto a zippered jersey?

Proving again with this action, along with the Allen Craig release from AAA, the $$$ paid to Rusney Castillo, still at AAA

They make a ton of money. TONS.

Some just choose to spend more of it.

I don't want to sound critical of you SMF..........

But this is why the All Star Break is way way too long.

They should re-sod the damn "landing strip" between the mound and HP while they're at it...

CINCINNATI -- The Nationals made the first steps to try and shore up their struggling bullpen Sunday, as they acquired relievers Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle from the Athletics in exchange for Blake Treinen and prospects Jesus Luzardo and Sheldon Neuse.
Madson, a 12-year veteran, is 2-4 with a 2.06 ERA in 40 appearances this season. In three years since having Tommy John surgery, he has a 2.69 ERA in 171 games.



Doolittle has a 3.38 ERA in 23 appearances this season, and hasn't allowed a hit over three innings in his last three outings.

The Nationals bullpen currently ranks last in the Major Leagues in ERA (5.34), opponent batting average (.280) and OPS (.825).

Neuse and Luzardo were Washington's No. 6 and No. 10 prospects, respectively, according to MLBPipeline.com. Neuse, a third baseman, hit .291 with nine homers and 51 RBIs with Class A Advanced Hagerstown this season. Lefty Luzardo was 1-0 with a 1.32 ERA in three starts this season with the GCL Nationals of the Gulf Coast League.

Treinen was 8-11 with a 3.39 ERA in 185 games with the Nationals from 2014-'17.

we're kicking sonny gray tires with little taps. Other teams are making improvements.

I'm still sold on making moves to improve. The division is wide open. So is the wild card
