Seems like the late deadline prices really jumped

Yep. But the prices I've seen are are so high that they based not only on the certainty that he has figured something out, but that he's also better than his best year. The price is higher than we got for Crochet. Now if it were, say, a price that we charged the Padres for Cease, then it's worth a long look. But if he has figured it out, sign him in 2 years.

Yeah you definitely need to get one of these guys. Instead of adding 2 SP now go out and add one and use the money not being used for another SP towards a closer.

Makes sense. Start him or trade him.

I was hoping it would be for a 2nd. The Vikings were truly desperate. There really weren't many good options for them. It's hard to bring a QB in mid-season and have them understand the system. Kirk already knows it and he's way better than Daniel Jones.

Disagree that a #1 and #2 are needed this off-season. One guy near the top to go along with Burke is fine to start the season. There are plenty of guys who can compete for the middle and back end of the rotation and some have upside. Adding a Peralta or King caliber pitcher is enough to head into the season with, in my opinion. See what you have and add at the deadline if you're in the hunt and need another TOR arm. Having said that, if they DID add two top guys, I'd be ecstatic. Just don't think it's a total necessity.

This fucking division.

After last night, the Vikings ability to dictate trade terms is diminished greatly

Jefferson is gonna go off now. Vikings are better for sure, but Kirk Cousins ain't winning them a Super Bowl.

Wow. Now THATs an overpay.

I think they "add" but they play no where near the high end of the market place, despite the massive need for an actual #1 and #2 starter.

The poster didn’t say he didn’t think they would add. He said “it feels like a cost cutting move to make a big move for one.” Which I kinda feel the same way.

Cousins to Vikings for a 3rd rounder

What happened to Kyler Murray? Did the league catch up to him or did he just lose “it” with the injuries and COD

Getz says they are looking for starters on the market or via free agency.

If Nagy can make the guy who was unplayable under you look good, it's a you problem.

Him doing the lap before his rookie qb too on how orgs fail young QBs and then doing - by far - the worst fail job on any 2024 qb cannot be criticized enough. 1000x cockier than anything Ben Johnson has done. Gotta credit nagy. It seemed embarrassing how KC's offense looked after he took over, but clearly it was not just him. Now he's doing a pretty damn good job .

I think you are going to be very disappointed when you see who they actually wind up with if you think Skubal is even in the realm of possibilities. This same team probably thought Castillo was a TOR starter.

To be fair, Wentz made Kyler look really good last night lol.

He's not going to keep throwing 99-100 as a starter, but I think he can still be effective throwing 96-97 consistently. The problem is that he really doesn't have any off-speed pitches. I'm not sure how that'll play when he's a starter. There's also the possibility that he's mid or bad as a starter and you just lost out on a dominant relief pitcher.

Not to mention Caleb, after two awful quarters (after an incredible 1st quarter making some insane plays), still managed to lead the game winning drive, had 40 seconds to spare, and his team won the game.

Even with that being Caleb's worst performance and Wentz's normal, it's still nowhere close. Wentz had a QBR of 2.3 last night. Caleb was at 51.9

So did Roberto Hernandez!
