This is really going to open up the Schaefer Reliever of the Year race.

Indeed he is, and he was batting third against the Mets in that series at YSIII. I'd've felt a lot better about that if the Mets hadn't lost the second game. Fun Fact: The Yankees farm system may or may not be a radioactive wasteland — I can't say — but their farm director is named "Oppenheimer."

"Nothing coming in the farm system" is the sort of dime-store prognostication that nobody has ever felt the urge to be accountable for two years later. The 2023 Yankees are at .519, while their 1966 counterparts finished at .440, with the worst record in the American League. Madden is just pandering, doing his best to degrade the Spink Award while he's still active and able to do so.

It was uncanny.

Well, there are also AAA guys that could go — Michael Peréz, Tomás Nido, Luke Voit, for instance. But I imagine the plane flight won't be an issue. Kansas City is delightfully located as equidistant as can be from all other MLB cities.

Jaylin was (and still is, to be sure) a 29-year-old flycatcher with 95 MLB plate appearances spread over four seasons with the Giants and Red Sox, but couldn't escape (or really even maintain) AAA mediocrity this year. It's a shame to get sent packing in July, because as we are seeing, MLB jobs can open in August.

(We can't just let him keep dropping hints, because that sort of makes us the cows!) Ty White was the sort of chunky, bearded, bat-first utility infielder of the pre-stardom Justin Turner (Josh Satin/Ty Wigginton/Eric Campbell too) model. He mostly stayed on the corners, but could play the middle of the infield — just know that if he is actually playing there, something went meaningfully awry with Plan A and Plan B. He was a small part of some big seasons with the mid-teens Houston Astros, but forgot to pack his bat after a mid-2019 trade to the Dodgers, and never got back to the bigs again, despite cycling through five franchises in four years. Fun fact: That trade from Houston to Los Angeles was in exchange for Andre Scrubb. No wonder he didn't hit for the Dodgers — how demoralizing is it to literally get traded for a Scrubb!

Jussie Jarvis instantly becomes the top starting pitcher profile on the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, just as Luisangel Acuña has immediately become the team's top offensive player. We'd love to make a prediction about who joins the MLB roster, but we're probably simply looking at Starling Marte being activated from the migraine list. We hope for the best for Starling.

Played good, smart ball, and stepped up even after a few weeks of benchriding. Insisted he was willing to sit if it helped the team, which was the sort of thing Crash Davis taught Nook Laloush to say whether it was true or not, but was particularly big after it became clear to anyone paying attention that his benching wasn't really helping the team at all. I'd give him a hug if I ever figure out which one is him and which one is Chris Bassitt.

Does he play organ as well as his Great Aunt Jane?

The Mets have shown through Harvey, Syndergaard, Wheeler, and deGrom that young pitchers can break too if you try hard enough, and they can also pitch brilliantly but spend extended periods getting pulled after short workdays in futile attempts to keep them from re-breaking. I think a philosophical shift or two are needed. Yes, youth is a great asset, but it'll take a more nuanced approach than that.

I thought he was real interesting in that most of his stuff was gone, but he still was able to get ahead on precision and adjustments and overall pitchability, and he was always willing to talk about the adjustments he was making, the adjustments that he was failing to make, and the new stuff he was trying. In that sense, he was sort of a more accountable version of Tom Glavine. Pedro Martinez at least still had an elite change by the time he got to the Mets, but with a lot of star veteran pitchers, all they show up with is their head, and that can make them more interesting, if less exciting.

I was able to grab Cap Anson for that square, because I know he played for a million years, but I came up short on Nap LaJoie.

Can't let this dramatic transaction pass without note.

The Pads hang on for a 5-3 win over Texas, but the Mets gain a game on Chicago, Arizona, Philadelphia, and Milwakee — which is every other team standing between them and the Wild Card. On the day, they cut their net deficit from 26.5 to 22.5 games, or 15.1%. Dude! They finish July at 14–9, a .609 win percentage.

Randy Johnson could have fit in five or six boxes today. My 3000K Dodger was Don Sutton. Slow and steady wins the race.

BrOOKS.

Verlander leaves the mound to a warm ovation.

It really tells you how grossly salaries are suppressed for young players. They're giving up Max Scherzer and $35 million for Luisangel Acuña — a price one would figure they'd never would have signed Acuña for directly.

Thrilling! Lindor is on a cyclewatch!

Keith Raad: "Dickerson almost got traded on the day his wife went into labor and his child was born ... and that's a little low." Howie Rose: "You better BELIEVE that's a little low!!"

It's not often you see two sac flies in one inning, especially with the bases empty in between.

Go-ahead ribby triple by McNubbins!
