As much as I’d prefer facing Minnesota in the WC series don’t look now but Cleveland are only 4 games back… I want nothing to do with their starting rotation with our line-up.
Do you or anyone else know why this is the case?
It’s gonna be a helluva battle with Seattle (again) down the stretch.
Their schedule features a lot of mediocre to terrible teams. Ugh.
Meanwhile we play a lot of AL East teams in September…
It’s even worse then losing Bo. Bo has 2+ years left of control, Franco has 10+ years! They are losing one of the most valued assets in the game. Sucks for Tampa… Losing Bo would be like losing 8-10 WAR if he doesn’t re-sign. Losing Franco could be like losing a potential 50-60 WARThe more stuff I see about Franco the worse it looks. I saw an article today saying that the more the investigation continues the more likely it is he never plays another game in the mlb. Not to take away from the severity of what is going on but just putting on the baseball fan hat for a sec. TB fans must be losing their minds. Imagine if that was Bo and we’d never get to see him play again. What a loss for that franchise.
Our best bet is to catch the Rays. Surely with McClanahan done, the team in a spiral and Franco likely done for at least the season we should be able to make up ground. Not like our schedule is particularly hard.It’s gonna be a helluva battle with Seattle (again) down the stretch.

Honestly might be one of the biggest wastes of Hall of fame talent ever in sports. This is like the Rays losing Bo’s bat if he also happened to be one of the best defensive players in baseball at a premium position.The more stuff I see about Franco the worse it looks.

They’ll have b2b2b with Texas and Houston at the end of the year. With the Jays going up against the Rays twice at the end of the year, those series can potentially be vital to all 4 teams playoff aspirations.
Tampa’s got a pretty tough September and with no Franco now and a depleted rotation they could end up being the one to go.

Yea I tried to multi quote but it didn’t work. I only used Bo as the best comparable on our team and he’s not on that level. Absolute waste of a talent and he’s only 22. He’s lost himself potentially an incredible amount of money.Honestly might be one of the biggest wastes of Hall of fame talent ever in sports.
