In a surprisingly candid interview with Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (Twitter link, with audio), Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo largely quashed rumors and speculation that have tied his team to star Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. According to Rizzo, the Nationals touched base with the Marlins on Realmuto’s availability but haven’t really circled back this season.

“They’ve got a great player in Realmuto,” said Rizzo. “They’re not going to sell him cheap. We know what the return has to be on Realmuto, and we’re not willing to meet that price. So unless something changes there, on their end, we’re going to go with [Matt] Wieters when he gets healthy and a combination of [Pedro] Severino and [Spencer] Kieboom to back him up.”

I find it interesting that MLB has banned signing players from the Mexican league

I thought they were just banning it in its current format?

Like they were going to move toward the Japanese rules or something

Major League Baseball has reportedly cut all ties with the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol (LMB), banning teams from signing players from the confederation. The ban comes as a result of “corruption” and “fraud” within Mexico’s top league.


quote:

The ban is a nuclear option after years of complaints failed to effect change in a league where teams sign scores of teenage prospects and hold their rights in perpetuity. Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reports LMB franchise signing rights have long been an issue with the MLB and its players association.


quote:

his decision severs the relationship between the world’s top baseball league and a AAA-level feeder. The LMB isn’t a can’t-miss pipeline of young talent, but its produced a handful of young starters in recent years, including Urias, Manny Banuelos, Jorge de la Rosa, Joakim Soria, and Christian Villanueva. It’s also served as a minor league career-rehabilitation stop for several veteran players looking to prove their value and return to the big leagues.


quote:

That’s over for the foreseeable future. While the MLB waits for the LMB to clean up its act, young prospects locked into team-friendly contracts will have to wait for a change in policy to break out of AAA ball. MLB veterans — which currently include players like Nyjer Morgan, Jemile Weeks, Manny Acosta, Ricky Romero, Yuniesky Betancourt, and Delmon Young — will have more freedom, but finding a new home in a crowded minor league landscape will be difficult.

Curious what happens in the Dominican Republic and other areas. Someone posted a twitter link that mentioned 15 of the top 20 prospects would fail/have failed a PED test.

I'm enjoying listening to John smoltz. He has some good insight into trades in particular de grom and syndegard.

Anyone think the Mets deal either Degrom or Syndergaard? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded Syndergaard. He has electric stuff but has shown to be injury prone the last 2 years. I don’t see them parting ways with Degrom.

What did Smoltz say?

Cubs give up 6 runs to blow a 6-1 lead. Would be a sweep and 7 in a row for the reds
