Springer…Correa…they’re all the same to me now.

Yep, the same degree of dead to me too.
Somehow Gerritt Cole is a little more dead to me than those two.
Who?

Our window is open, but narrows a bit each year. Pena lessened the loss of Correa, but the situation in cf seems self-inflicted from a personnel standpoint
Sort of.
Straw was dealt out of necessity.
A non-issue I think. Unless someone else gets injured, my guess is they’ll simply run out the clock on his rehab assignment. He also has options left. Either way I don’t think we see him until September 1st at the earliest.
It will be interesting to see what happens when rosters expand. Of the two additional roster spots, you can only add one pitcher. So do they bring up Taylor then or do they add Hunter Brown to the 40-man and bring him up?
Probably add back whomever gets sent down to make room for McCullers

Apologies if shared elsewhere.
Thanks for posting that. We’ll have to keep our eye on this story. Exciting player. If he doesn’t kill himself first with his hustle he may be in Houston pretty quick.
Sounds like he, and the team, dodged a bullet.
Just a bruise but may be a bad bruise.
And that hand is why he hasn’t played much in LF and won’t going forward apparently…

Since Brantley went to the injured list on June 27, Aledmys Díaz and Chas McCormick have each made 17 starts in left field. Alvarez has six and Mauricio Dubón has three. Baker resisted playing Alvarez out there more due to the hand injury he sustained in late June. Click spoke on Friday of keeping Alvarez “in a position to be ready to go for the stretch run,” dousing speculation he could see a dramatic rise in defensive time.
If only they had traded for a guy who can play LF
Hence my apologies if already mentioned. I checked the fl draft one but missed the ride.

I’m no master of the details of the new cba so I’ll defer to your expertise but I thought under the new rules Brown had to be added to the 40 man before the end of the season so he won’t be exposed to the rule 5 draft.
Not until November.

Hunter would need to be on the 40 man before 9/1 to qualify for the playoff roster.
Depends on the severity of course but the groin strain back in 2020 cost Diaz five weeks on the IL…
