any one keeping up with this?

they are over .500 now, 2nd in the division, playing great baseball.... 18-7 in their last 25


they have relievers that people are interested in and they have guys that they can call up that can replace those getting traded.


well see what happens they are 2 games out of the wild card right now. and they are supposed to be rebuilding

Well yeah they’re winning ball games, of course the r/d will begin to climb. It’s an interesting story to follow, but no way they keep this up/make the playoffs imho

The DBacks are half game back with a +61 run differential ouchhh

If I was them, I would still be selling the Bullpen as quick as I could.

While this 17-3 run is amazing, its still another 8-2 run away from being a serious contender in my books. If you can move Bum to like Atlanta get something like Allard + 2 prospects in return Id do it for sure.

bums got them on his no trade list currently


i honestly dont think they are going to be able to trade him they want a decent amount and hes got almost all the teams that would want to trade for him on his list as no's


the bullpen can get sold and we still have good arms that can come up to replace them that we keep bringing up and sending down because we dont have room for them

Unless you think Bum is looking to get paid, Im sure if the Braves were willing to offer like a 2 years Extension for like $30m he would gladly lift that no trade clause to join the ATL.

Not sure if hes hoping to land a 100+ million deal in the offseason though

i have no idea what his thoughts are, i wouldn't be surprised if he has the attitude of only wanting to play for 1 team in his career and taking a lesser deal with the giants. but at the same time i could see him thinking he wants to maximise his opportunity to make $$$ and sit out like some of the pitchers did this year until he gets what he wants


bum is a weird dude, no fuckin idea whats going through his brains

Yea, I like the guy though so I dont feel like hes a grab the cash man.
Wasn't sure if you heard things on sports radio out that way about him to have an opinion.


Im ready for some deadline deals to begin though
