The Cardinals Have Been 'Linked To' Avisail Garcia Apparently

Image
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd even think within the deepest recesses of my mind, let alone type onto the internet where people could read it and know I feel it: Avisail Garcia is garnering trade interest, and I'm furious about it.

I'm serious. I read today that the St. Louis Cardinals are interested in Avisail, or at least have been "linked to" to him this year, and it made me angry to think about it.

Now, the good news is that it comes from Nick Cafardo, and as we've documented here in the past, Cafardo can sometimes be a tiny bit off when it comes to trade rumors. He's essentially Boston's answer to Phil Rogers in that I'm never quite sure whether he's told these things, or if he's just making his fantasy trades and writing them down and presenting them as real things.

Cafardo writes that Avi and Detroit's J.D. Martinez are the "two names linked most often to the Cardinals." He also mentions that Howie Kendrick…

I'm Not Sure Why Kevan Smith Gets So Much Playing Time

My girlfriend is in love with Kevan Smith.

All right, love might be a strong word. In truth, she’s more in lust than anything. Anytime we’re watching a game together and Smith shows up on the screen there is a visceral reaction within her.

I haven’t seen her this excited about a White Sox player since Carlos Quentin was wiggling his ass in the batter’s box.

None of this is the reason I want to see Smith playing less often than he already is, but it would be a bonus.

I’ve mentioned this on Twitter more than once, and I figured it was time to actually write a post about it because A) I haven’t written anything here in a while, and B) seriously, why the hell is Smith getting so much playing time?

Geovany Soto last played for the White Sox on May 7 since going down with an elbow injury that I’m guessing will cost him the rest of the 2017 season. Since then Smith has started 16 games for the White Sox. Omar Narvaez has started 13 games since Soto’s injury, and that includes three start…

The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo Might Be On Drugs

Image
Remember when you were a kid and you'd come up with preposterous trade scenarios with your friends? The kind of trades that would never happen because they were ludicrous, but you and your friends thought they were brilliant.

Well, The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo totally did that as a child, and he's still doing it now as an adult.

Cafardo wrote a column in the paper coming up with possible trade scenarios for the Boston Red Sox. A baseball team he not only covers, but one whose logo no doubt adorns his bed sheets, pillowcase, onesie pajamas, and the walls of his bedroom painted to mimic The Green Monster.
