Re: a trade, if the Royals could get Mason Miller from the A’s for Blake Mitchell and a tack-on or two, I think you do it. Miller would have five more years of control, and Mitchell is a HS C who is admittedly hitting well in Low-A, but also striking out a ton.
Mitchell is on track to end the year as a top 50 prospect. I doubt the A’s get that type of offer elsewhere. Maybe have them throw in Rooker to go with it and send a little more back their way.

A great day to be at the park. With the heat and breeze, I was stunned that nobody got under one and sent it into the fountains.
Zerpa was visibly irritated by VP on that pick off attempt. It was towards the second base side of the bag, but from my vantage point, down low, halfway between 1st and home, VP should have caught the ball and applied a tag. But, these things happen. Still, they came to the plate in the 9th, down two, having lost 6/7 and never wavered. Velasquez just torched that ball. Kind of found it hard to believe it got over Merrill’s head. Looked like he was playing fairly deep. Helluva win. |

But this bullpen really needs help. Having Massey out really sucks too. MJ has been lousy. Do they swing a deal before Cleveland on Tuesday? Call someone up? I hope so. Nice weekend crowds too, 30k, 25k, 22k. Another month over .500, and I’m betting those numbers improve. Fans are into it! |

Re: Mitchell's value or the concept in general?
I know Mitchell is off to a great start, but he does still hold a huge amount of risk. I'd prefer to make a move like that without trading Mitchell, but Miller is an elite talent at the MLB level already. Carter Jensen is also performing well and could be a good trade piece. Having 2 LH-hitting catchers who can hit at Lo and High A, respectively, isn't such a bad problem to have.

If there was a reasonable offer on the table to bring in Randy Arozarena, would you pull the trigger?
He's a big name but having a terrible season at the plate. He's also highly marketable. I heard Jeff Passan mention it and thought it was a good question. |

Avasail Garcia was released by the Marlins. He’s been bad…but much better than Melendez
