19 hours ago19 hr Going to be an interesting weekend with the trade deadline. The pending 40-man roster glut, in particular the outfield, virtually guarantees we will have to make a few trades.
19 hours ago19 hr Marlins go 10-15 in July after 20-6 in June. The 12 game losing streak sucked. Put it behind you as you go into August. 1.5 games behind the Wild Card.

Pretty incredible."Hernandez, 31, seems to have stepped into the Carlos Carrasco/Jesse Chavez role in Atlanta. The Braves near-habitually stash a veteran righty who can’t be optioned in Gwinnett and cycle that pitcher on and off the active roster via frequent DFAs whenever an extra arm is needed. Said pitcher then immediately re-signs on a new minor league deal (typically with slightly better salary terms, new opt-out dates, and other perks) upon clearing waivers and electing free agency.Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment seven times in the span of one calendar year and went through a similar gambit with Chavez before him. The pitchers, of course, are generally on board with the setup. It gets them occasional big league service time and salary. The arms the Braves typically use in this role aren’t the type that would likely stick on a major league roster elsewhere, so agreeing to ride the DFA shuttle between Gwinnett and Atlanta is a nice means of picking up some extra salary and service in short stints."
