I havent posted here much this year, but im irate at how the deadline has gone down. Besides the already talked about bigger trades that went down in August, I am so dumbfounded at how we didnt get some sort of insurance for Braden’s woes against LHP. Before the deadline, Braden’s wRC+ against lefties was 51 in 47 PAs. After the deadline and to today his wRC+ is 7. Cleveland’s GM plugged in Adell to help with their hitting vs lefties in Jo Adell: 223 wRC+ Hell we RELEASED Austin Hays on August 7th. With the Padres hes put up a 192 wRC+. Looking back, a platoon for Braden was an obvious necessity. At least get some insurance for him. Just mind boggling to me how they keep trotting him out there at this point against lefties.
