Pirates just released Ozuna. You know AA is licking his chops over the thought of running it back with Marcell and Soler.

Walt prioritizing guys like Dubon who have position flexibility -- hopefully, that has ended the previous thing of us having a DH who could only DH.

Came here to post this.
Which washed up DH do we kick the tires on? At least McCutchen can go get a baseball and throw it back.

The This Doesn't Look Like 2021 Award: Atlanta Braves
Let's see here ... Tyler Mahle, Brent Suter, Lane Thomas, Bailey Falter, Duncan Davitt, Tyler Uberstine. Yep, that was the Braves' 2026 deadline haul -- a far cry from general manager Alex Anthopoulos' infamous series of deals in 2021 that brought in Jorge Soler, Joc Pederson, Eddie Rosario and Adam Duvall, leading to a World Series title. (Rosario was the NLCS MVP and Soler the World Series MVP.)
So, what happened? The Braves certainly could have used a starter with a better rest-of-season projection than Mahle, or an outfielder with better numbers than Thomas.
With a thin farm system, it seems like Anthopoulos didn't want to pull off a bigger deal that might have involved one of his top prospects.
"A few years ago, we could have gotten one of the elite starters in the game, but Drake Baldwin would have been going out the door," Anthopoulos told reporters. "That's not to say those are easy decisions. You'd like to get deals done. But there's certain asks you say yes to, and those are the deals that you do. And there's certain ones you say no to."
With a comfortable lead in the NL East, there wasn't necessarily a reason to do anything risky, but Atlanta's rotation lacks a strong No. 2 starter behind Chris Sale.

I feel like Dom could play first or LF if needed due to an injury.
Ozuna and Soler are in a different category of Permanent DH.

I would feel more confident in Soler playing LF than Dom Smith playing LF.
Point being, neither are OFer.

Dodgers trailing Cubs 6-1.

AA said Skubal and one other (speculation is deGrom) were deemed better than in house options. I will take him at his word and keep track of pitchers from deadline on. After one day:
Skubal 6 IP 2 ER
Peralta 3.2 IP 7 ER
Holmes 6 IP 0 ER
Wednesday pitchers:
Mize
Elder
Skubal 6 IP 2 ER

It feels like whenever he does make solid contact.....it's directly to the opposing third baseman for a 5-4-3 DP.
