I was at the August 20th game just behind home plate. It was great to see Salvy blast two HRs but I also great to see how beloved he is in the league. Basically every Cub, save Ian Happ, greeted him warmly as they came to bat the first time. He's definitely a player's player.
That's sort of where the talk around the team seems to be heading. He's been legitimately great defensively and such a mixed bag offensively that I'm not actually sure where I stand on it. After that first week, he was legitimately nearly unplayable offensively for the better part of two months, but since the start of the series in Boston, he's hitting .262/.323/.411. That line with his defense is worth a deal. I'm just concerned about the .232/.293/.337 that preceded it.

Yep, everyone loves Salvy. That's for sure.
I believe that it makes sense to re-sign Taylor, is that in the cards?

I'm thinking the Royals should engage Oakland on a deal for Laureano despite the suspension. Aren't many guys who can handle CF in Kauffman.
I'm not against that, but I think the A's are probably going to hold out on moving him (if they ever were) just so he can rebuild some trade value.
