The most hated player by the Dodgers is returning back to where all the controversy began.
Carlos Correa is coming back to the Astros.

Friars have to be thinking of stretching Miller back out next year for the rotation, otherwise wouldn't have given up De Vries.Originally Posted by Dan Druff
Twins fans bitching about Duran trade, but I dont mind it. Bullpen studs always overrated. Abel has everything but command. Not ideal, but plenty of guys who took awhile to harness their stuff. Good catcher prospects are hard to come by also, kid might be something.
Lol and live, Correa back to Astros. Can't wait to see the details there....$$$$ covered by Twins vs prospect return
On Weds Padres had the number one bullpen ranking last 30 days. Trade didn’t hurt none.
Morally obliged to sprinkle +850 on Padres winning NL West.
I thought trading Rushman would be a monster move. He’s a waste playing behind one of the top 2 catchers in the game - who also got signed to a long term deal. Woulda yielded a haul.
Maybe Rushman gets converted to SS.
Oh boy, Twins really cleared house. High debt ratio + team for sale. Lol MLB.
they paid Correa 33m to go away in return for a 26 year old in A ball
Padres shipped away tons of its prospects.
They're going all in to finally get that ring this year, and they still probably won't win the division.
They got Ramon Laureano and Ryan O'Hearn, the latter being a prized target by many teams.
This should be an interesting stretch run for the Dodgers, who basically said fuck it, we're riding with what we have. Dodgers and Brewers were criticized by some for not doing enough given their obvious contender statuses.
Remaining strength of schedule. Dodgers continue to fumble the bag?
In a continued summer tradition Red Sawks collect some Dodgers garbage.
Dustin May to Boston
Slot him behind Buehler
Red Sox derate velocity as a corporate philosophy. Superior coaching might save Gingergaard. Doubt it

Yeah the Dodgers' easy schedule at the end is negated by the Padres having the same. It's a 2-team race now that the Giants fell out of contention, and the Dbacks fell even further out. At one point it looked like the NL West might have 4 strong teams.
Interesting that the Reds were buyers. They're going to have to pass either the Padres, Cubs, or Phillies, and all of this is a tough order. They're 3 behind the final wildcard spot held by the Padres right now. AL wildcard race is far more interesting, with a ton of teams within striking distance of 57 wins, which is currently the mark held by the Mariners and Rangers for the last spot.
i've been continuously betting the mets, phillies and dodgers to win the ws since opening day in an exact result with many AL teams other than the nyy because the odds were lower with them. those are the only 3 teams i like to take it all.
before the season started this dodger team was suppose win 110 games and the odds were much lower the mets/phillies. i do have la/tor at 100-1 and mets/phils at around 150/200-1 and have bet it down more as it's gotten lower. with the jay's surge, i stopped the last few weeks because the market corrected itself.
with around 60 games left there's plenty of things that could happen in the AL
i still think the AL is open for any team that happens to make the postseason. i'm still married to those 3 NL teams winning it. not really worried about an AL team winning the ws or the cubs. one team i don't have a figure on or any action is the brewers who have been hot for over a month now.
the mets did an outstanding job at the trade deadline.
as for which team will win the AL? like i said i don't see any clear favorite. texas weathered the storm and is playing better, sea finally got a couple bats and hopefully they will score more. the sox seem like a playoff team right now as well.
det/houston have been low for some time now. i don't know how houston continues to win.
all my exact result bets are over 30-1.. the 30-1 are LA mostly.
I read your post 3x and found zero mention of the Brewers. They can manufacture runs and possess superior pitching and defence. Those are playoff credentials. Druff can verify.
You’ve put together a legendary career with long shots and no doubt must have your reasons.
The Brewers have Freddy Peralta (good), Jose Quintana (mediocre), Brandon Woodruff (good, but health in question), Jacob Misiorowski (excellent, but maybe not experienced enough for postseason), and Quinn Priester (mediocre).
If Woodruff stays healthy and Misiorowski doesn't wilt under the playoff lights, this will be a tough team to beat, even if the offense scuffles.
If Woodruff gets hurt again (or shows cracks due to his previous injury), and Misiorowski is either fatigued or has a hard time with the postseason pressure, this could be another disasterous playoff jaunt for the Brew Crew.
Their fans are irritated that they didn't do anything to improve their offense. They can manufacture runs, as Sanlmar stated, but they also lack much punch. They're 23rd in MLB in home runs, and lag FAR beyond powerful offenses like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Cubs.
I understand pitching tends to win championships, but when you've got Andrew Vaughn manning your 5-spot, you know your team has room for offensive improvement.
I'm actually surprised the Dodgers have struggled so much against them this year, because usually they dominate teams with good pitching and low-power offense. It's teams like the Cubs which worry me more, but the Dodgers have been given fits by the Brewers.
High powered offense?
MILW is #1 Team Ranking Net Expected Runs per Plate Appearance last 30 days. Dodgers are 21st.
MILW is #3 Rotation Rankings Net Expected Runs per Plate Appearance last 30 days. Dodgers are 11th
MILW #4 Bullpen Rankings Expected yada yada. Dodgers 16th
Other than Dodgers I’m watching Brewers most often. They make me feel good about baseball when I do. They are unique like that. All $94m of them.
With Mulva I’m talking value in long shots and with MILW you have that in spades
You know the Dodgers have been shit for the past month, but overall there's no question the Dodgers offense has a lot of power, and the Brewers do not.
Their own fans are angry at the front office for not correcting this.
We will see if it ends up mattering. The Brewers don't exactly have a history of postseason success.
Dodgers have been bad.
I don’t bet the team that took the field in April. I bet what I see. Teams adjust. Cat and mouse.
I have a preference for teams with defense and can manufacture runs in the playoffs. It’s too late to get into the whole discussion about why playoffs are a different game once again.
It’s 6 moneyline favorites vs trade deadline sellers tomorrow. The only way I don’t end up in debtors prison is that I think I’ll have CLV up the ass. Each game has a powerful lineup argument.
We both know that it’s wrong but it’s much too strong to let it go now
Cubs
Phila
Brewers
Mets
Guards undisputed favorite bet of the day
Padres
Dodgers are hoping Alex Call will be the 2025 Tommy Edman. I don't see it, but that's what they're hoping.
Last year the Dodgers straight up robbed the Cards and White Sox by getting Edman and Michael Kopech for Miguel Vargas and two trash minor leaguers. Edman and Kopech both made a difference in their eventual World Series win, especially Edman.
On deadline day, the Braves and Reds both scored 8 runs in the 8th against each other.
Braves were up 11-3 after the top of the 8th, only to have it tied by the bottom half.
They still won in extras.
I don't think I can name even half the guys who will be in uniform for the Twins today.
You mean Rushing. Unless "Rushman" is a joke I don't understand, but I would think that "Rushmore" (a reference to an obscure 2000 movie) would be more clever.
You're right that Rushing is blocked long term by Smith. This is especially true since Smith has kicked his offense up another notch, and is on a (relatively cheap) long-term contract. I believe he is being trained to play OF, so the Dodgers can get his bat in the lineup eventually. Otherwise, he's permanently blocked by a top catcher and top DH, so he has no path.
I don't think the Dodgers want to trade him because they truly see a path to make him an outfielder.
+850 on the Padres is a great bet. Dodgers have been wildly inconsistent, and Padres piled on a lot of talent at the deadline.
If you have access to a ROY bet, take a look at Cade Horton.
Odds should be fairly long, as everyone is focusing upon Misiorowski and Baldwin, but Horton is the sneaky choice.
After struggling in the minors in 2024, Horton ate up the hitters there in 2025, and was promoted. He was then uneven for awhile, but now is really coming into his own. With 5 more shutout innings today, he has now strung together 3 consecutive shutout appearances, and brought his ERA down to 3.42. If he continues dealing in August and September, he could be the surprise winner, especially if Baldwin and Misiorowski don't finish strong.
Horton was a high-ranking prospect, so this isn't just a case of a fish on a heater. I'm not saying he's anywhere near a favorite, but a longshot bet has value right now, as nobody is paying attention to him. He's not flashy like Misiorowski.
