⚾ DEADLINE DAY: 6 PM ET

The Weekend Moves

⚾ THE SKUBAL FALLOUT

The Package

Detroit gets: OF Zyhir Hope, RHP River Ryan, RHP Brady Smith

Why Everyone Is Furious

The prospect math that has baseball fuming:

Scott: "All FOUR of those guys rank higher than the highest player the Dodgers gave up. That's what frustrates people — the Dodgers got Tarik Skubal and didn't have to give up their top four prospects. How does that make sense? How does Skubal go to ANY team and the return isn't that org's top prospects?"

Dave Roberts Responds

Roberts: "It just seems like there's always blowback with us. People are passionate. There's nothing that we did that no one else couldn't have done. I just love our front office. We have to have the players to go pull something like this off — and we've still got arguably the top one, two, or three farm systems in baseball."

The World Series Board

Scott: "Think about that drop-off between the Dodgers and the second favorite. The competitive balance concern is real — there's no salary cap, the Dodgers can outspend anybody, and players can dictate where they want to go."

⚾ THE YANKEES GET THEIR BAT

Luis García Jr., Age 26

Scott: "Much-needed pop for a lineup decimated by injuries — no Judge, no Stanton, and recently no Bellinger."

⚾ Today's Slate

(Some of these could be affected by deadline moves.)

🏈 32 IN 32: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

The Market

Awards: Daniel Jones +1200 Comeback Player of the Year | Shane Steichen +2700 Coach of the Year

THE DANIEL JONES MOBILITY ANGLE

Cleared — But Is He Back?

The timeline: Jones cleared to practice last week, seven and a half months after a torn Achilles.

The data that matters:

THE BET

Scott: "Is his mobility back, or does he play the start of the season hesitant? Early on, I would be all over the UNDERS for Daniel Jones rushing attempts and rushing yardage. Fade the rushing props — there's going to be hesitancy with that injury.

Then after a few weeks, once he gets confidence in the Achilles and more rehab time, we might see more designed runs and more willingness to run. But not to start."

The Backup Battle

The competition: Riley Leonard vs Anthony Richardson — both split first-team reps when Jones was held out of OTAs.

Scott: "Whoever wins is the backup. Whoever loses might find themselves on a new team.

Injury note: WR Alec Pierce (ankle) will be limited for some — if not all — of training camp. "The Colts' offense is not going to be at 100% to start the season."

THE BRUTAL OPENING SLATE

THE MIDDLE PLAY

Scott: "The over 7.5 is -140. I don't hate the UNDER 7.5. Here's the thinking: once they get through that opening slate, maybe they're 1-4 after five games. Think about what the adjusted win total becomes at that point — you could play a live over 5.5 and middle both bets. Win the under 7.5 AND the adjusted over."
