He'll only approve the deal if his option vests.

Really nice win tonight. Great job by Morgan and the bullpen.

I know we all already know this, but it's amazing to me that this team could have won 9 of the last 10 games and still be on pace to lose 100, still have five more losses than anyone else in the majors and still have a negative run differential twice that of anyone other team.

I guess we were doing pretty badly, huh?

In this case I would say they are only as BAD as the last thing they did...which makes them kinda good! For now.

harang is starting tomorrow. Could they be trying to rush a deal if he looks okay?

Don't think one start is going to convince anyone.

Either do I but it seems strange to skip rehab start(s).

they probably have a team interested and it's contingent on him staying healthy thru 5 or 6

Harang has a long track record. If he shows he's OK and medical reports are OK, I can imagine somebody giving up a C or D prospect to get him.

That long track record shows that this year's WHIP is the second best of his career.

It has been weirdly quite about possible trade targets not named Cole Hamels.

Nobody wants our crap. And they all think Ruben is a jackhole. That's my summary.
