There's still some, Miller and Hader are 2 of them. I guess? Miller has 15 career saves so far ... I like Miller, he looks real talented, but has never pitched a big game in his MLB career so far. Closing for the A's is not exactly Closing for the Yankees Hader has a 3.68 ERA and 5 loses this season ... 2022 he had a 5 plus ERA ... he's been pretty inconsistent Hader had given up 8 HR's this season, which is hard to believe given his stuff. Plays to the inconsistency part that you just mentioned. |

Hader is definitely no longer elite. Miller is going to blow his arm out. I like Ryan Helsley on the Cards. Dude is legit this season.

I hate it when headlines are misleading. The headline made it appear as it the trade had already been made. |

Phillies made a trade with the O's because I got a FB post that one of the BlueClaws MiL pitchers has been traded to O's

Hader got off to a slow start, but even so he has 20 saves, a 0.977 WHIP, 70Ks in 44 innings. And he has a strong track record.
That's not elite? |

That's not elite? It can be argued that he WAS one of, if not THE best reliever for a stretch of years. I can be argued he simply slumped earlier this year and on 2022 and is again top drawer. There’s definitely a downward trend line on him that would give me concern, but if I needed a save today, I’d happily call on him… |

From MLB Rumors 7/28/24
Cardinals Designate Reliever Giovanny Gallegos For Assignment
By Mark Polishuk | July 28, 2024 at 10:48am CDT
The Cardinals announced that right-hander Giovanny Gallegos has been designated for assignment. Right-hander Kyle Leahy was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move, and the Cards now have an open space on their 40-man roster.
The DFA underscores a disaster of a season for Gallegos, who has a 6.53 ERA over 21 appearances and 20 2/3 innings. After emerging as a cornerstone of the St. Louis bullpen from 2019-2022, some red flags appeared last season when Gallegos’ ERA shot up to 4.42 (in 55 innings) as his strikeout rate declined and batters suddenly started to make much more solid contact against his offerings.
Things got worse for Gallegos this season, as he has allowed six homers over his 20 2/3 frames and his strikeout rate (22.3%) and walk rate (10.6%) are both career worsts. The sudden loss of control is particularly troubling, as even amidst Gallegos’ struggles in 2023, he still sat in the 92nd percentile of all pitchers in terms of walk rate. Health could be an issue since Gallegos missed a month and a half due to a shoulder impingement, though he wasn’t pitching well either before or after his stint on the 15-day injured list.
Despite these significant struggles, Gallegos’ track record means that he’ll likely catch on with another team pretty quickly, if perhaps not via waiver claim. A team that puts in a claim would assume the remainder of Gallegos’ salary — roughly $1.84MM in 2024 salary, plus a $500K buyout of his $6.5MM club option for the 2025 campaign.
Unless a trade is worked out during the DFA period and before Tuesday’s deadline, clubs might prefer to wait until Gallegos clears waivers and is then likely released by the Cardinals. A new team would then owe Gallegos just the prorated portion of a MLB minimum salary, and St. Louis would be on the hook for the remaining money owed. Since Gallegos has more than five years of MLB service time, he has the right to refuse an outright assignment from the Cardinals if he does clear waivers.
Led by star closer Ryan Helsley, the Cardinals have gotten solid results in general from their bullpen this season, with Gallegos uncharacteristically being the relief corps’ weak link. St. Louis, like most contenders, was known to be exploring the market for some bullpen reinforcements heading into the deadline, and moving Gallegos (and freeing up a 40-man roster spot) would hint that some kind of plans are in mind for the Cards before July 30.

It's July 29th and the Chicago White Sox are 54 games under .500.  They have to win all of their remaining games to finish an even .500. |
