This is from 'Have a Seat' with the POBO:
-
Keider Montero is up….probably to start tomorrow.

In 2012, they had the seventh ranked payroll, in 2013 and 2014 it was fifth. They were able to spend to correct roster holes and fix mistakes. That's not happening anytime soon...so they will have to build a team with much better player development and contract discipline.
-
The Re-Rebuild...Pistons are about to go through the same thing.
-
Slow Build...Let's see if we hear that phrase again.
-
Meadows is apparently still struggling with off speed pitches..sounds like they are still waiting on him to figure things out.
-
I'm fine with using major league time to develop Mize. Wasting time with guys like McKinstry, Baddoo, Kreidler is frustrating. These guys are not part of the near future...but we have no options. I always thought we would be done with Vic Reyes and Harold Castro...but we are back to it.

They are in a similar market to the Tigers and are 23rd in payroll, right behind the Tigers: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/_/year/2024/sort/cap_total2 They also have the courage to make a Burnes trade to another contender without worrying how it will be viewed by their fanbase. They turned him into Joey Ortiz who is now one of their best hitters.

They've got two more years of control on a cheap contract. Unless he gets hurt again, you bring him back and see if he can ever put it together.
-
Carson Kelly has given himself a decent trade market as a catcher. Decent win for Harris and his pro personnel staff.
-
Given the low bar, Mize didn't implode. That's decent news with the fact that they are doing some kind of bullpen game on Wednesday. The Phillies are a wagon so it doesn't matter either way. These two teams aren't playing in the same league, but don't play the same sport.
-
The triple play was entertaining if nothing else.
-
DD is beaming in that purple shirt…lol.
-
-
The Bally implosion with Comcast is also an issue. But I think that is going to handled on the mlb level.
-
Big test for Harris..If it's a Hao Yu Lee comp, people will not be happy. As we saw with Avila, you need to have the skill to gin up a trade market...Al did not.
-
The Cardinals...ugh.
-
The Royals are 12-18 in the last 30; they have a 5.13 era in June. The Twins have passed them in the standings…as expected.
-
-
Spencer Turnbull is starting Wednesday for the Phillies at Detroit.
-
This is probably where their risk approach comes into play. No point giving up an asset when you aren't going to get a significant improvement right now. And they also don't care about this season..They want to know the 2025 status of Meadows, Tork, Carpy's injury, etc.

"We knew that the WhiteSox guy threw a plus changeup but we could not eliminate it."
