Take 10 with Tim – June 27, 2025 @ 9:30/8:30 am

1.Chase Burns. Well, what did you think?

2.They both got started late, but what are the chances that Nick Kurtz and Jacob Misiorowski win the Rookie of Year honors?

a.Nick Kurtz - .255/.313/.523, 11 home runs. The 11 home runs lead all rookies, actually tied with Agustin Ramirez
b.Jacob Misiorowski – 16.0 IP, 3 wins, 1.13 ERA.
i.Oddly, I might as the same question about another Brewer, Logan Henderson. But, he’s pitching in Triple-A. BTW, since Henderson was demoted, he’s pitched to a 2.66 ERA with 25 strikeouts and eight walks.
c.Here’s another I don’t understand. Emmet Sheenen pitched six perfect innings on Wednesday – in Oklahoma City.

3.First the Diamondbacks lose Corbin Burnes and now they lose Corbin Carroll with a fractured wrist. Do you think the Diamondbacks have enough to compete or will they become sellers are the deadline and reload for 2026?
a.Who gets the Carroll’s playing time?

4.Deadline trades – We will each provide two trades we would like to see. Here are my two:
a.The Marlins trade Sandy Alcantara to the Orioles for 1B/C Sam Basallo, RHP Zach Fruit, and a young high-upside player like Nate George
i.Alcantara is signed for two more years and a reasonable 17.3 million. He’s not pitched well, but I still think he’ll require a huge return.
b.The Diamondbacks trade Eugenio Suarez to the Tigers for a mid-tier prospect like Max Anderson or Jaden Hamm.

5.The Rays have recalled Chandler Simpson. Will he get enough at-bats to pick up?

6.Trevor Rogers pitched well this week. The Orioles are having him throw his fastball more often, and the velocity he lost in 2024 has improved this season. He’s always had a great change-up, although it isn’t generating as many whiffs as before. What are your thoughts on his prospects going forward?
