I think his weird looking ears bother me the most.

Pirates complete a five player trade with the Indians


Pirates Get:
Erik Gonzalez and two minor league pitching prospects


Indians Get:
Jordan Luplow
Max Moroff


I like the trade for the Pirates. Luplow played sparingly in a crowded outfield and Moroff was depth. Although now that they've left the Pirates, both will have career years .

I actually wouldn't mind it that much if he was whiny or petulant if he did hustle all the time.

Padres expected to aggressively pursue Thor.

Update on Realmuto

Quote:

12:36pm: ESPN’s Buster Olney writes that the Marlins’ asking price on Realmuto is viewed by other clubs as “staggering.” Though Realmuto has less control remaining than he did last offseason, he’s coming off a better year and the asking price on him has actually risen from last winter, per Olney. 9:54am: There are as many as 10 teams showing some degree of trade interest in Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, tweets MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro, who also notes that Miami’s lofty asking price isn’t likely to drop anytime soon. The Astros are one of the many teams in the Realmuto market, per MLB.com’s Jon Morosi (Twitter links), but to this point they’ve insisted that either outfielder Kyle Tucker or right-hander Forrest Whitley be at the center of the return. Both players are considered to be among the 10 to 15 best prospects in all of baseball. Morosi adds that the Braves are “actively looking for a catcher,” but the Marlins would prefer not to deal Realmuto within the division.

Why not....idk...keep somebody for once, Miami? That team never has had a franchise player.
