Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart
Oloffson - Nugent Hopkins - Reinhart
Vesey - Mittelstadt - Johannson
Smith - Erod - Sheary

13th Forward: Okposo
To Rochester: Wilson, Sobotka (who chooses to sign in KHL instead)
Traded, with Risto, for RNH: Larsson, Thompson

Dahlin & Montour
McCabe & Miller
Borgen & Jokiharju

7th D: Matthew Benning (acquired in RNH/Risto deal)

Pilut in for Borgen when he returns for injury.
Bogo phased out when he returns from injury.
To Rochester or Traded for lint: Scandella, Nelson

Kind of a soft roster like the Leafs, but much more skill than in recent seasons.

- Jack Straw


We are at vet max for Rochester. Sobotka doesnt go to the KHL to be a nice guy and help our cap.

He is on the books for one more year.

Hard to argue that point.

I think the loss of Bauer's really hurt the Indians. He is a head case but a good pitcher

He's getting crushed in Cincy--8.0+ era.

Starting pitching not great right now, but youngins getting valuable experience. Bullpen is choking big time vs. quality opposition.

Great, trade Risto in the division. Can’t wait to see him rough up our skill guys multiple times a year. Then again, I bet Nelson will protect them.

Washedup wearing 3rd gold Nelson Jersey might help?

Yeah I know he hasn't done well with the reds but he was good with Cleveland. A different league and a new team can be hard on a pitcher, especially one like Bauer. Still a month out, so obviously anything can happen. Rays still have games vs Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers so that won't be easy.

I've yet to see someone credible report this rumor. I wouldn't get your hopes up.
- Carubba-Kaleta


I heard this elsewhere as well. I'll believe it when I see it.

That said, I do that trade 100 out of 100 times.
I'd even be willing to throw in a bottom 6 player free of charge...their pick of Sheary, Sobotka, Wilson, Girgs or Larry...and if they wanted 2, I'd have to insist on their 2020 6th rounder, unless they objected in which case I might give them our 2020 7th.

C'mon Botts, pull the trigger

The vet max limits how many you can dress for games, not how many you can have on your roster.

There is no Vet max for the roster, only how many can dress for each game.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they could also waive him and tell him not to report

Tribe should be able to eek out one of the wild card spots. Still have six games with MIN, although that dream's fading

The point ain’t really to dress slobatka... it’s to get him to pull a move similar to that guy who quit last year.

I think the truth is that JB holds his cards close to the vest. Not a lot of leaks come out of his administration. If the mantha rumors are true, I think it would be the first trade that was called from the outside well in advance

So probably not happening

Bummer!!

I thought this blog was the one we were all waiting for ... on Risto.
Damn, missed opportunity to slide it in when attention might have been distracted with a focus on the holiday.

Oh well, Happy Labor Day everyone.

Do something Botts!

- IonSabres

I think Pach should do the whole lineup without Risto anywhere. And then just a blog about potential help coming, including whatever Botts lands in a trade.

According to some, that will probably just be an overpaid fourth liner and a 7th round pick. According to others, a 70 - 80 point 2nd line center or RW. Truth is somewhere in between those.
