Which Urena? Walbert Urena? Again, why would the Angels have ever traded away a 22-year old breakout starting pitcher with a 100 MPH fastball that was ranked right in the middle of their top 25 prospect list? Why do you seem to think he was ever available? Your consistent thoughts on the Sox acquiring stud young players for practically nothing are quite simply delusional and never in the realm of any sort of reality. It’s like you are playing MLB The Show and overriding lopsided trades in your favor.

Livvy Dunne?

Brazoban was 5-2 with a 2.56 ERA this season. The right-hander was in his third season with the Mets, after being acquired from the Marlins in July 2024. He went 10-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 117 appearances as a Met, including nine as an opener. nypost.com

This appears to be a great trade. Sucks that he’s so old for the additional 3 years of control, but the cost is seemingly so inconsequential that it doesn’t matter if he falls apart soon.

Has primarily been used in the 6th, z7th, and 8th - at times going two innings. Often enters with inherited runners and strands them more than 65% of the time. Lately he has been better than that, allowing inherited runners to score only on one occasion for the entire month of July.

I really like this move. Back end of the pen just got a lot better.

With Merkin killing all hope saying he’s confirmed no additional deals (in past years)

Manny… is that you?

Tyler Stephenson and Ace like reclamation project come on down, you’re next!

We’re hoping Brazo can hold his form for the next few years and the Mets are hoping they can get a starter out of Davis with a floor of having a lights out reliever at a similar profile for twice as long. I can dig it.

White Sox determined to increase their Dominican count, haha. +1 for now with Dominguez gone and Castillo added

Good get to replace Dominguez in the bullpen. Now we can get rid of one of the lefties Leaves us with some great options in the 6th-9th innings

He had one really bad outing against ATL where he gave up a slam. Take out that blip and it's 10 ER total in 52.1 IP, good for a 1.72 ERA. Looks like he's opened a few times too, in case that's ever asked of him here. I like Gabe Davis, but this seems like a solid get. Minimal postseason experience (1 scoreless inning in 2023 with Miami) but he pitched well on a big stage in the WBC:

Considering I don't trust our current pitching development to do anything with Gabe Davis, hard to poke holes in this one.

He'll be collecting Social Security before he becomes a free agent.

Sox really needed a trustworthy righty. And I wouldn't want to put myself in a position in which I might need to get important innings from McDougal

Really like this move.

I wonder if Getz is planning to trade a reliever or two? Now, you have these as your high leverage options: Taylor Newcomb Brazoban Hicks Hudson And some combination of these as more of your middle relief and/or mop-up types: Murphy Richards Fedde Schweitzer One of these has to go (probably Schweitzer for now), but you'd think McDougal and/or H. Smith will also be up at some point in August. It could make sense to try and flip Murphy

Interesting philosophical question as far as whether it matters that the 36 year old has 3 years of team control.
