I updated my previous post. There are other guys in your system to trade for a rental. Wolkow for example. The fact that Getz only obtained players with control beyond this year likely indicates that he wasn’t even considering rentals.

Agreed, but pass on Doyle then and use Mason Adams in a trade for a rental pitcher. Or a prospect like Wolkow. The obsession with only obtaining guys with control completely limited Getz in what he could do.

Honestly, you could question overpaying Castillo for next year but shedding Seranthony’s $12 million salary for next year makes it less of an impact to the payroll. Brazoban was a great trade. Bart was basically free. The Doyle trade is a complete head scratcher.

There’s gotta be a non-contender that would claim Pereira.

Awful, but I’m not surprised. I told @Chicago White Sox to temper his excitement. Didn’t get two starters which is what was needed, not a scrub CF. Cubs managed to do it.

Good point.

And the guy you added is 3 years older than the one you just DFA’ed.

It’s called poor roster management and running out of time.

Why not? Doyle can’t hit against a pitcher throwing with their left arm, right arm, left foot, right foot, etc.

We wasted our best pitching prospect on a 28 year old CF that can’t hit a lick.

The Guardians gave up table scraps for the dogs.

The Castillo trade was mediocre and the Brazoban trade was really good. But I was referring specifically to the Doyle trade and the Pereira DFA. Peters has proven he can play CF and even with his slump, he isn’t anywhere near as horrible with the bat as Doyle is. His career splits away from Coors are embarrassingly bad (.573 OPS). Also, Mason Adams could have helped the bullpen this season.

I don’t know anything about him. Regardless, even if he wasn’t included in the Doyle trade, Getz seemingly made the roster worse for this year. You still didn’t explain to me why they are better from this series of moves.

I’d rather have Mason Adams and Pereira on this team with Vielma in the minors than Doyle on this team instead of those three, and I don’t even like Pereira that much. Getz somehow seemingly made the team worse with this series of moves. Am I missing something?

Yes.

This makes the Doyle trade worse, if that is at all possible. I’d rather have Mason Adams and Pereira on this team with Vielma in the minors than Doyle on this team instead of those three, and I don’t even like Pereira that much.

The great Getz prize was DFA’ed?

They have to hope that Quero works his way out of his funk, because Romo stinks and Bart isn’t much better. Decent backup but we won’t want to see Bart with starter at bats either.

Indeed.

Yep, the same reason they acquired David Peterson and it has worked out so far.

Would have rather added him two years ago before he forgot how to hit. At least he is basically free. So the Yankees are getting Stephenson soon?

Yep.

The sad thing is that this new poop is older (28) than the outfielders already on the roster (Peters and Pereira) that are arguably better.

None really. I didn’t say he would cost big prospects, just that I think the Yankees will feel more pressure to counter Boston’s pickup of Adley. The Yankees catching situation is trash.

I predict Stephenson to the Yankees because they will want to match the Red Sox big move. Getz won’t want to give up the prospects.
