What he say

Lodolo was always the guy I thought they’d go after, but he’s so hard to trust with the injury issues

Tampa has guys to trade now

Those type of guys have no value at the deadline

Why do I feel like they’re going to massively overpay for Stephenson and Singer? Something like Thorpe, Wolkow and Pereira.

Fake

Thank god the big league season has gone great, or else everyone would focus on how bad the prospects have done outside of a few hitters (also thankfully Bonemer has been great, as he’s the most important hitting prospect before the draftees)

Yeah no thanks to a lefty hitting catcher

They want a righty due to their lineup construction

I doubt it, if Pereira sticks around, I think for important games, you go with Doyle and him in CF/RF against LHP.

Maybe Pereira gets more pt in RF, especially against LHP.

George shouldn’t get comfortable

Yep and it’s taking quite the risk assuming someone will pitch better leaving a pitcher’s park (with great pitching development) for a hitter’s park.

Like I said earlier, after 8 or so, the system is as bad as any

Are we sure that Getz knows he hits righty?

Say he stinks the rest of the year…then you’re still on the hook for him next year and you’re more limited on payroll flexibility. Usually the benefit of trading for a controllable player, like Detmers, is they’re cheap.

Doyle no, Castillo yes

His road numbers in his career are comical

I will say that outside of the top 8 or so in the system, it’s horrible

My bigger concern is that in Castillo and Doyle, I’m not sure those moves make the 26 team better.

Maybe Pereira is being used in a trade for Stephenson?

I really liked Doyle a few years ago, and he was hurt for a long time this year. He makes a fine 5th outfielder, but I assume this means Grichuk and Hays are gone

Possible but this isn’t the guy you’d replace him with

Ugh, Stephenson to Yankees seems more likely now.
