Luke Voit heading to the nationals as part of the Soto deal. Sending Bell to the Padres makes a lot more sense now.

I’ll ask around to see if Nats fans know how to build a log cabin.

[Melena]

I was going to ask if there's ever been a faster collapse from WS winner to bottom dweller then the Nats, then I remembered the Marlins had a fire sale after each title win.

Ruf is on the move. To the mets for JD Davis and unknown prospects.

Dude mashes RHP, 149wrc+ vs 33wrc+ against lefties. Currently our DH position has a 66wrc+ against RHP. I like it, platoon at DH is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Well actually, the doctor ordered Soto but good luck lol.

I guess Ruf is the other half of the Vogelbach trade, with his 151wRC+ against lefties. Not a bad plan.

[Melena]

Ruf can also play all over, and has a flair for the dramatic. I'm going to miss him.

anyway if you have a stat that says i shouldn’t be mad at gallo, your stat is garbage

The stat is his career batting average. Everyone knew exactly what he was the moment the Yankees traded for him.

How the hell did we not match this? Or the Mets for that matter.

He's their #7 prospect on BA, MLB didn't do their midseason update yet. Or so reddit says since I don't actually pay for BA

just realized that not only did the brewers have the greatest strikeout pitcher in MLB history until yesterday

they also have the top three strikeout starters in mlb history

Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta are tied at 12.05 K/9, and 3rd place is...Dinelson Lamet at 11.69. (minimum 300 IP, minimum 50 starts to be considered a starter)

and if Devin Williams had the 300 IP to qualify he'd be #4 all time

Thats a great stat, how many WORLD SERIES championships did it lead to?

[archibaldcrane]

and Ohtani is about to crash the party at #3 with a few more starts.

54 minutes to go and somehow Rodon is still a Giant. And he's easily the best rental starting pitcher available.

[Krandor]

Soto trade is now official

The San Diego Padres have acquired outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals in exchange for 1B/DH Luke Voit, shortstop CJ Abrams, outfielders Robert Hassell III and James Wood, left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore, and right-handed pitcher Jarlin Susana, President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller announced today

[Xno Kappa]

Well this came out of nowhere.
