July 2nd, 2018: Zach Britton asked for an extension, and since it was reasonable and just for one year, I decided to accept. Worst case, we suck and he's more then a rental in the trade market.

At 43-42, we rank 16th in the Power Rankings.

Browsing the International Market, it isn't the strongest, but no one is looking for too much money, so it's a nice mix.

We'd head to Philly for two, to face the also 43-42 Phillies. We'd see Aaron Nola (5-5, 4.52 ERA) and Jerad Eickhoff (2-2, 4.61 ERA).

July 3rd, 2018: I claimed SP Wade Miley off waivers and optioned SP Tanner Scott to AAA. I don't know why Miley was waived, as he's 4-2 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 10 starts.

Three trades were also made today, starting with RHP Nate Jones and RHP Zack Burdi heading to the Dodgers for CF Andrew Toles. Absolute steal for the Dodgers, as Burdi has 4.5 potential and both Jones and Toles are 3*.

Miami traded RHP Odrisamer Despaigne to the Twins for RHP Moises Gomez. Niether guys is any good, so it's fine for both teams.

Lastly, the Sox also sent 1B Jose Abreu to the Yankees for RHP Domingo Acevedo and RHP Austin Gardner. It's another bad deal for the Whtie Sox...

Miley (4-2, 3.16 ERA, 1.32 WHIP) got the start in the opener against Aaron Nola (5-5, 4.52 ERA, 1.25 WHIP). We dropped the opener 6-3.

Miley struggled, going just 2 innings with 7 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), and 3 walks. Darren O'Day tossed 2.1 innings with 4 strikeouts. Mychal Givens allowed a run off 2 hits with a walk and 2 strikeouts in the 7. Jeremy Jeffress got an out and allowed a run.

July 4th, 2018: We finished the series with Andrew Cashner (3-7, 5.13 ERA, 1.61 WHIP) facing Jerad Eickhoff (2-2, 4.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP). The Phillies got 7 in the 7th and finished the sweep with an 8-3 win.

Cashner allowed 6 in 6 innings with 5 hits, 3 walks, and a strikeout. Enny Romero allowed a two runs and 4 hits in 1 inning.

Manny Machado was 3-for-5 with a solo homer. Tim Beckham was 3-for-4 with a solo homer, triple, and two runs scored. Gorkys Hernandez was 3-for-5.

After the sweep, we'd head to Minnesota for four and we'd face Jose Berrios (8-7, 4.28 ERA), Odrisamer Despaigne (2-7, 4.20 ERA), Phil Hughes (6-6, 4.34 ERA), and Ervin Santana (4-6, 4.64 ERA). Judging off these numbers, you wouldn't know that they are 47-38.

July 5th, 2018: All my unsigned players determiend where they'd go to college, and I did the edits to the future Class of 2021.

4th Round: SP Mason Englert (College of Charleston 2019)

34th Round: CF Dan Kidd (California 2019)
37th Round: 3B Vincente Martin (Ohio State 2021)

I claimed LHP Nick Hagadone off waivers and optioned Donnie Hart to AAA.

More trade action, as the Marlins sent 1B Justin Bour to theMets for 3B Mark Vientos and LHP P.J. Conlon. I like this deal for both teams.

We opened the series in Minnesota with Kevin Gausman (7-4, 4.13 ERA, 1.36 WHIP) facing Jose Berrios (8-7, 4.28 ERA, 1.19 WHIP). They scored three in the eight to tie the game and send it to extras. We got 1 in the top of the 10th, and won the opener 4-3.

Gausman was great, 6 innings with 4 hits, a walk, and 6 strikeouts. Jeremy Jeffress allowed 3 unearned runs off 2 hits, a walk, and a strikeout. Hagadone made his Orioles debut and got the win. He went 1.2 innings with 2 hits and a strikeout. Britton got a save, striking out two in the 10th.

Gorkys Hernandez was 1-for-4 with a triple, run scored, sac-fly, and RBI. Trey Mancini was 1-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Jonathan Schoop made an error, and was 1-for-4 with a run scored and sacrafice fly. Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with an RBI and a hit by pitch.

July 6th, 2018: Zach Britton signed his 1-year, $12.5 million extension.

The White Sox will be without SP Carson Fulmer for the year with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He was 3-5 with a 5.06 ERA.

The Rays traded RHP Sergio Romo and LHP Jose Alvarado to the Braves for C Kurt Suzkui and C Hunter Fedducia. I have no idea what the Rays are thinking here...

Game two saw the newly acquired Odrisamer Despaigne (2-7, 4.20 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) make his Twins debut against Mike Wright (6-2, 2.73 ERA, 1.05 WHIP). The Twins got 3 in the 8th to take the second game 5-2.

Wright went 6, allowing 7 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and getting 6 strikeouts. Mychal Givens was charged with 3 runs, 2 hits, and 3 walks in 0.2 innings.

Tim Beckham was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Gorkys Hernandez was 1-for-4 with a double and run scored.

J.A. Happ tossed a 2-hit shutout as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees 4-0.

July 7th, 2018: I signed possibly the first ever International Amateur Free Agent in SS Luis Torribio. The 3* Dominican agreed to a $1,540,000 bonus. He's a solid defender who can stick at short, and has nice pop while not striking out too much.

Today's game with Minnesota got rained out, so we'd have back to back double headers...

Alex Cobb will go on "rehab" but he's going to start Game 2 tomorrow.

Kyle Hendricks tossed a 1-hiter as the Cubs beat the Reds 7-0.

July 8th, 2018: More trades, as the Rays sent RHP Nathan Eovalid and LHP Genesis Cabrera to the Angels for RF Brandon Marsh and 1B Nick Vilter. Based on my scout, the Angels got the better side of the deal, but based on real life knowledge, getting Marsh is a steal.

Game 1 saw Davis Hess (0-1, 3.60 ERA, 1.60 WHIP) face Phil Hughes (6-6, 4.34 ERA). It took 10 innings, but we edged them 2-1.

Hess, who will be optioned to make room for Cobb, went 6.2 innings with 5 hits, a run, a walk, and he struck out 6. Britton got the win, striking out the side in the 9th. Givens got a strikeout, walk, and hit for the hold, and Enny Romero earned the save by getting the final 2 outs.

Mark Trumbo was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Tim Beckham was 1-for-4 with a homer as well. Craig Gentry was 1-for-4 with a double. Max Stassi was also 1-for-4 with a double.

Game two saw Alex Cobb (3-4, 3.99 ERA, 1.35 WHIP) make his return to the active roster against Ervin Santana (4-6, 4.64 ERA, 1.38 WHIP). Cobb was brilliant, and we shut them out 6-0.

He tossed 7.1 shutout innings with 2 hits, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. O'Day got the last 1.2 innings and walked 1 hitter.

Craig Gentry was 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and a double. Trey Mancini was a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, walk, and 2 RBI's. Manny Machado was 2-for-4 with a run and RBI. Adam Jones was 1-for-4 with a run, RBI, and walk.
