Yes. Better all around than Robles or Gallo or Rosario or the other guy they just dropped. Can play any OF position and he is a fine fielder. Has always had power.

Except that isn't who he is now. His stat line this year is painful. If you are going to play a glove first OF, play Young. We don't need any retreads anymore.

Maybe try him in the announce booth?

White Sox DFA Senzel.

Giants DFA Reetz. He’s back in AAA after clearing waivers.

This was not shocking news.

I always thought Robles needed a break from DC. Good luck to him in Seattle, I'm very happy with Jacob Young.

Something is going on with Harper. He hasn't hit a home run since August 9th. He had 2 home runs in August and 4 in July. He hit .149 in July. He's hit .292 in August but most the hits I've seen are opposite field. He doesn't seem to get around on the fastball. He's too young to not be able to hit the fastball anymore. Maybe he's nursing an injury. If he doesn't hit with power the Phillies World Series chances take a major hit especially since Trea hasn't been setting the world on fire.

Harper has a tough time staying healthy. I guess he's going to play through these aches.

Blue Jays DFA Espino

He has the ability to be a Corbin replacement next season at a cheap price.

Schwarber was pretty good yesterday: 5-for-6, 3 HR, 6 RBIs, 4 R

Rendon with 0 HR, 0 3B, and just 10 doubles in 226 PAs this year. Hasn't hit above .240 since his first season in LA.

Poor Rendon! He needs to play with a curly-W on his cap. Angels need to DFA him, eat the rest of his salary. I would give him a minor-league invite to Nats Spring Training next year. Then he can take his money and retire.

Rendon would be a good demotivational speaker

Dominic Smith is a FA after being DFA'd by the Reds and refusing to go to AAA
