July 29, 20187 yr In today’s edition of Baseball Announcers are Bad, Joe Simpson called the dodgers unprofessional for wearing T Shirts to batting practice.
July 29, 20187 yr I've said before that Chip Caray is the very definition of "vapid." Well, Joe Simpson went to Norman HS and OU, so he was born and bred an idiot. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/simpsjo01.shtml Edited July 29, 20187 yr by Beau Vine
July 29, 20187 yr In today’s edition of Baseball Announcers are Bad, Joe Simpson called the dodgers unprofessional for wearing T Shirts to batting practice. Hey Joe, maybe the Braves should try the t-shirt thing in BP tomorrow.Dodgers go for the 4 game sweep tomorrow.Braves have scored 4 runs through the first 3 this weekend.
July 29, 20187 yr Fernando Arcia from the angels has to be the feel-good story of the year so far. Made his MLB debut yesterday after spending 12 years in the minors. Now he’s the first player in MLB history with 10 total RBI’s after his first two career games.

July 29, 20187 yr Man, I'll say it... If I'm the Astros, I call Washington and tell them they can pick any three minor leaguers not named Tucker or Whitley in exchange for Harper.

July 30, 20187 yr Lot of buzz building around the next superstar out of Cuba, 22 year old outfielder Victor Victor Mesa (real name). Expected to become eligible to sign in the next couple months.

The Yankees have no interest in him, they may engage to drive up the price for other teams but that's it. I just can't imagine why the Nats would give him up for non-elite prospects. The Nats have talent they just haven't performed, and the bottom line is they have 2 months to make up 6 games for a playoff spot. Far crazier things have happened.

First off the Yankees are interested in everyone. Second, the Nats are not a title contender, and don't look to be one going forward. Third, nobody said anything about trading him for "non-elite propsects." Fourth, the idea that the Nats are going to laugh at/hang up on a team who's offer 3 of their top prospects for Harper is absurd.

Beau's original post said that the Astros two best prospects were to be off the table, so excellent reading ability on your part. The Astros don't really have any good prospects outside those 2, so the Nats would be giving Harper away almost for free. They have that Alvarez dude but I'm not even sure if he's a unanimous top 50 prospect. Edited July 30, 20187 yr by Helobious

July 30, 20187 yr They might even part with jake marisnek. Isnt gurriel’s little brother in their system?
July 30, 20187 yr Machado went to the Dodgers for their #4 (#84 overall), 27th, 28th and 2 other unrated prospects. Harper wouldn’t go for any more than that, probably less since he’s having such a shitty season.
July 30, 20187 yr Some good series this week: PHI @ BOS - 2 games COL @ STL - 4 games MIL @ LAD - 4 games HOU @ SEA - 3 games CHC @ PIT - 2 games NYY @ BOS - 4 games SF @ ARI - 4 games STL @ PIT - 3 games COL @ MIL - 3 games HOU @ LAD - 3 games
July 30, 20187 yr helo - to answer your question definitively, if the astros gave washington their 3rd, 4th, and 5th best system prospects, most astros fans would be furious, and that would be far and away the best offer washington would hear. since you compared that to "letting him go for nothing", i would assume that's exactly what they're going to get for him - nothing. when he leaves after the season.
