I wonder if he already sold his house and moved his stuff out.

There is a streak likely to stagnate.

They play in what is probably the weakest and most balanced division in baseball. Wild Card games are playoff games. He might get a chance.

Now that he’s in Minnesota permanently, he probably needs to make more room for his wood chipper and ice-fishing rig.

This makes it seem like he’s disposing a lot of bodies.

I really enjoy that guy, especially his throwaway shots at Illinois. Have you seen his “Invention of Ikea” skit? Priceless. Also HH, especially, would enjoy the skit about mixing Old Fashioneds.

Josh Rojas worked out for the D-Backs but the other 3 players in the Greinke trade (including Seth Beer and Corbin Martin) have not…

I guess that’s why they were considered as tradable by the Astros.

Funny that Rojas was the one player Luhnow was balking at giving…that dude knew his shit.
