That's a good point about the Indians. Any pitcher with an ounce of talent does well for them.

Naylor looks like another Franmil Reyes type of player.

lol how does a trade get completed but not leak for a whole day? I'm on the not Steve train, but this one seems to be way off.

Considering they didn't even want to bring Clevinger back, this probably makes them better this year.

At least Plesac was honest. Clevinger straight up lied about going out.

This is like if we traded a bunch of our 5-10 prospects with Ross Detwiler and Zack Collins for Clevinger. Cleveland didn't make out too well tbh.

Gore isn't in the deal from the looks of it. Quantrill and Naylor going to the Indians.

lol that was fantastic. But then again we tried that off-season too and bombed.

He could be throwing Heuer's name out there just because he didn't pitch in today's game.

If he is he's done a hell of a job of masking it.

Nola is a 30 year old catcher who's had 300 career ABs. And he just fetched Taylor Trammel. WTF?

Collins is on the taxi squad though?

Must be nice to be a Padres fan right now.

I don't get why the Padres are re-doing their entire catcher situation. Hedges is one of the best framers in baseball. Yeah he can't hit for shit, but neither can Castro.

Cease as the main piece for Woodruff actually makes a ton of sense for us. You upgrade your #3 spot to help in the playoffs. Cease's peripherals have been terrible, you'd basically be selling high on him right now with his nice ERA.

That's a much better use of Kopech than Lynn or Clevinger. Woodruff is under control until 2025.

Grisham's been pretty good this year.

With how good Cleveland is with pitchers, Kopech might as well be Jacob deGrom for the next 5 years with them.

We also saw what happened in his first start. Ricky learned his lesson.

I can totally see a 3 way deal where the Indians get Gallo for Clevinger and then Texas sends Clevinger elsewhere for prospects.

No he's actually below average according to UZR and DRS. That's where Robert has a huge leg up on him.

Gallo has way more value than Lynn. If we can get him and Lynn, I'd easily give up Kopech.

No head to head record is.

We're facing Hill, Pineda, and Berrios. Monday with Gio going is a big one to take, especially since we usually hit lefties well.

This is easily the ugliest series in a while, but good teams find ways to win when things aren't always going your way!
