Cleveland claims 1/4 of Angels pitching staff to make a run at the central. If this works, everyone is going to lose their minds.

Seen a couple short tictok videos saying that Franco had a kid who’s about 2 with that 14 year old. That’s crazy if true. How is he not charged with endangerment at this point?

Yeah with the way waivers work in MLB, Cleveland and Cincinnati essentially had first crack at each one of those players.

Claims go by reverse win percentage, not playoff position. And what I didn't know (and it seems like an odd rule) is that it resets for every player. So basically being on the fringe of contention gave the Reds and Guardians the ability to load up like this.

Still while Cleveland only has one team to catch, they are 5 games back. And while Reds are only 1.5 games out of a wild card, a lot of teams are in the mix.

Those Angel players seem kind of cursed so we'll see what happens.

Giolito has to be thrilled with this development. Going to an extremely pitcher friendly park with a great coaching staff will likely help his contract situation. He was a CY young contender for a few seasons there but has since fallen off. Especially with the Angels. Woof. The stench of that organization is real.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urías was arrested on felony domestic violence charges late Sunday, Los Angeles police told ESPN, the second domestic incident in the past four years for the soon-to-be-free-agent pitcher.

Urías, 27, was arrested just after 11 p.m. PT and booked into jail around 1 a.m., according to jail records. He was released on $50,000 bond at 4:47 a.m. and has a court date Sept. 27.

Twins lead the Guardians 9-1. Mostly thanks to 9 runs off Giolitto in 3 innings. Might be Giolitto who has become the trash.

Anthony Misiewicz got struck by a line drive to the head and immediately started bleeding. Thoughts and prayers to him.

Former Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, who led the club to the 2008 World Series title, suffered a stroke Saturday.

The club said Manuel, 79, was undergoing a medical procedure in Florida when he had the stroke. Physicians were able to remove a blood clot.

"The next 24 hours will be crucial to his recovery, and Charlie's family asks that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers at this time," the team said in a release.

Rays are finally 1 step closer to a new ballpark. Doesn't solve any of the traffic issues for fans traveling to the games but at least it will be shiny and new

Hopefully they hang a bunch of random stuff and build low catwalks over the field so they can keep all their oddball ground rules for the new park.

Voters need to do the right thing and reject that #### so we can get the Expos back.
