The Jays SRS is still puzzling to me, highest in the league. Their run differential is still biblical at 97 runs but I thought SRS was smarter than that. Maybe it’s more because the AL East doesn’t really have weak teams? The Red Sox aren’t great but they’re not the worst in baseball and all the other divisions have two teams with substantially below 500 records. SRS would also like to tell us the AL WEST, not the east, is the best division in baseball featuring the powerhouse A’s in third place (superior to the division leading Yankees, Nationals, or… Read more »
Everyone talking about potential trade targets, I wonder what you guys think of the marlins dumping some players. Of all the teams talked about, it seems like this is the only year in recent memory the marlins aren’t at the the top of the list of sellers.

Just as a reminder to everyone, the intent was to have the chat conversations on the pages for the different topics.
This topic (trade deadline deals) is the subject of the first post I made under Chat called “July Jostling” (I’ll post some more topics in future days). To get to that post:
1. Hover over the arrow beside “Chat” on the menu bar. That will bring up a list of topic posts (most recent are first).
2. Click on a post you’d like to chat about and that post will come up.
Doug – Just a suggestion but it might work better if there was a new open chat thread once or twice a week. Something that appears on the main HHS page. Otherwise I think people are going to have a hard time finding the chat threads, particularly any new or irregular visitors. Even some regulars may have a hard time finding it.
