Gerrit Cole with first career complete game in generally dominating the Mariners. Nice to see after the abortion delivered by Liriano the day before.

Sounds like it is a 4 horse race to get Jay Bruce. Cubs, Indians, Giants and Dodgers and word has gone silent on any other red getting moved.

Well, Chapman came in the 8th and then sat thru a 26 min 1/2 inning and came back out and went 1-2-3 thru the meat of the order. Hmm

He's maybe the strangest guy in MLB. Some weird combination of dry humor, incredible focus/passion for hitting and might kill 4 people in his way with his bare hands.like_that;1804952 wrote:http://nesn.com/2016/07/joey-votto-apparently-ripped-apart-a-kid-who-wanted-his-batting-gloves/

Not sure...they can't even figure out for sure the 3rd team. I feel a Cozart to the Mariners as part of it all. Bruce trades always fall through so we'll see.SportsAndLady;1805067 wrote:Obviously with Puig going to the third team?

Puig to Reds is what Ive heard, but Reds are the holdup. They want prospects, not a current MLer. Puig wouldnt really make sense for their rebuild.

Puig owed $17 million over next two seasons and Dodgers want him gone. Reds want Verdugo the 20 year old doing well in AA and Dodgers #4 prospect.Laley23;1805072 wrote:Puig to Reds is what Ive heard, but Reds are the holdup. They want prospects, not a current MLer.

Puig I feel is worth another chance for sure but Dodgers going to have to pay someone a decent portion of his salary I feel.

I'll preface this with saying I'm a huge (read as: biased) Jay Bruce fan. Probably one of my top five favorite athletes. I realize why they want to trade him, but I'm going to be pissed when it happens. I already hate seeing Chapman doing well in Chicago.

Matt Cain due up, Madison Bumgarner in to pinch hit, smacks a double, Jeff Samardzija in to pinch run and scores on a wild throw to 1st.

Sounds like Bruce to the Mets is the most likely. Of course it is. The Mets have nothing in-terms of prospects. Rumors of a Beede/Fox deal from the Giants sounded amazing for Bruce. Also sounds like if the Reds deal with the Mets, they are trying very much so to get a Bruce for Conforto swap, which would be a great deal for Cincy.
Knowing Walt Jocketty, he will end up with a deal that leaves people wondering what he's doing...again.
