Before the Pollock deal? I would think about Vaughn for Reynolds.

We traded one dfa for another.

And this is peak Parkman.

A 6 team spring training parlay at $25? That is nuts.

Jose Ruiz is somewhere around our 10th best reliever. He is a great extra arm to have around at the very end of the bullpen. No we don't want him to pitch the 8th inning or anything, but he is fine for what he is.

Hi Mom!

Nice throw at C. Also the keeping the tag thing on is now a bigger deal with replay.

So basically Carlos Rodon's last year?

He is filling pitches to get to the next scheduled guy.

For those who know the Padres better, could there be some kind of a super deal built between Padres SPs and Andrew Vaughn? If we could get Gore and something else, I would be interested as that gives us the same kind of control back, and superstar upside too.

Everything hangs in AZ/.

That was LOUD

Thanks Eloy. I appreciate it.

That's probably entirely fair. The broader point being, yes, they made out like bandits on the Quintana/Eaton/Sale trades. Not only that, they sold at the highs on all three of them.

For all the crap that this front office gets, they sold so incredibly close to the top of Chris Sale's career, and are so insanely lucky that they were not the ones who gave him his last contract.

AND it is almost certain he will need to be covered for some period of time himself.

That's what some have hinted at speeding his demise.

With as long as the Sox are taking here, and who is still around, I am guessing they are still trying to make some deals.

I wonder if Madrigal gets thrown at today?

Gage knows about it and is trying to fix it. No idea on ETA or solution.
