How can you not be romantic about baseball?

[Alex Pavlovic @PavlovicNBCS]

One of those weird baseball things: The Giants went 49 years without a walk-off grand slam, and somehow now have three in the past five seasons

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

This play will be replayed for years.

Injuries are apart of the game but it's up to you to Judge who can fill the gap.

The managers who act today are the ones still in first place when he comes back.

Aaron Judge is on the IL for 4-6 weeks.

So who should you replace him with in your redraft and dynasty leagues? 🧵

[TheBaseballEffect @BaseballEffect]

If Judge isn't your problem and pitching is...

Look no further than River Ryan.

Ryan went from Tommy John surgery to touching triple digits.

28 IP at Triple-A. 2.89 ERA. 1.93 BB/9.

The Dodgers rotation has been a revolving door for two years running.

He's 13% owned and the window is open. 👀

Paul Skenes was driving by a Little League practice, stopped and had a catch with the team for over two hours

These kids will talk about this forever 🥹

This is art.

Nolan McLean’s evil sweeper broke 24 inches, several laws of nature, and Gavin Sheets’ ankles. 👿

[Dave @gggiants]

This one doesn't bother me because the Giants got Devers out of the deal, it should really bother Red Sox fans though

[TheBaseballEffect @BaseballEffect]

The wire doesn't sleep. Neither should you.

Every week you overlook the breakout rookie or the veteran who quietly remade his swing is a week your league mates gain ground they didn't earn.

Don't let them win for free.

We're a quarter of the way through the MLB season and injuries have already claimed a quarter of the league.

You can't replace Giambi. But you can recreate him in the aggregate.

Here's how to piece your roster back together through waivers🧩🧵

[TheBaseballEffect @BaseballEffect]

The Trade-Off

Quick reminder before you make any moves this week:

The player you add is only half the decision.
The one you drop is the other half — and it's just as important.

Know what your roster needs to win THIS week AND still contend in August before you start adding more pieces to the puzzle.

Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson in his @GoSquirrels and #SFGiants debut today in Erie: 5.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 SO

Lowers his season ERA to 1.35, which is the lowest in the Eastern League

[Kylen Mills @KylenMills]

For any #sfgiants fans wondering - here’s Tugboat

[Eric Samulski @SamulskiNYC]

Add him over Spencer Jones and Bryce Eldridge and anybody else

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

BREAKING: The Cleveland Guardians are acquiring two-time Gold Glove-winning catcher Patrick Bailey in a trade with the San Francisco Giants for the No. 29 pick in this year's draft and left-handed pitching prospect Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson, sources tell ESPN.

[Rhett Bollinger @RhettBollinger]

Zach Neto said he got out of his slump after opening Pokémon cards with Mike Trout pregame to get his mind off things. He packed a Charizard card and Trout told him the box of cards would bring them homers. And they both went deep tonight and Trout hugged Neto after his homer.
