Hey, Blue Jays...

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Hell... that ship sailed back in May. With this bullpen, "choke" would be a waste of time.

Yikes. The Tigers got fleeced on the JD Martinez trade. Tough times ahead.

Tonight is probably Darvish's last start as a Ranger. That series in Baltimore pretty much put the final nails in this season. Time to sell.

Cubs show interest in dealing for Darvish
http://m.mlb.com/news/article/243483788/cubs-interested-in-yu-darvish-trade-with-texas/?topicId=27118122

The Cubs have inquired to the Rangers on the availability of ace Yu Darvish, according to sources, and a trade match between the teams is more plausible than it would've been entering the All-Star break.

...it's far too early to characterize the Cubs as the leader to acquire Darvish. The Yankees and Dodgers, among others, are expected to pursue the right-hander if the Rangers formally make him available. For the Cubs, Darvish would be a bold, logical move -- the type of trade Epstein has made numerous times in his future Hall of Fame career.

i'm not sure the Dodgers will deal for Darvish even if he's available. the Rangers will want to much talent to replinsh their very weak system and the Dodgers have 4-5 prospects they do not want to trade as they have plans for them plus they have 6 healthy starters right now

Philly may make a mean cheese steak, but maybe they should have built a park with a roof as well.
