I was told we'd hit lefties well.

Welp there goes that.

Watch the PTBNL be Mendick.

Looks like we're sending them money...

Diekman and Joe Kelly will probably make all of us pull our hair out when they walk at least 1 guy every outing.

He's always had walk problems in his career. But a BB/9 around 7 is really bad.

Diekman's been amazing vs. lefties this year. Holding them to a .188 average with a 2.37 FIP.

For somebody we were probably gonna have to DFA, it's not bad. Diekman's been god awful recently though. His FIP is near 5. But he is left handed and has a solid track record.

I don't mind this

Oh god that would be terrible.

The problem is that their owners are cheap. Cheaper than Jerry.

Pham to Red Sox. Weird move, but ok.

Maybe that's what Hahn was asking Liam about. "Do you think you can keep these 2 guys in check if we get them both and start a clubhouse fantasy league?"

Might be to the Mets or Red Sox. Not sure why the Red Sox.

Which kind of sucks. I think I'd rather face Bubic than Lynch.

He's moved to tomorrow. Looks like they just bumped everyone back one day.

I feel like TLR is gonna be saying this every week for the next month.

Brad Keller just got scratched from his start today. Is he getting traded?

He'd be a great mop up pitcher.

It's interesting that Hahn was talking to Hendriks about possible additions' effects on the clubhouse. I immediately started thinking of Laureano cause he does seem to be a bit of a shady character with his PED use and that fight he got into with the Astros a few years ago.

It'd be pretty funny if they ended up trading Austin Martin or Simeon Woods Richardson for a starter. It'd be like not trading Jose Berrios, but with extra steps.

I think they're going to get Mahle. They already have a trading relationship with the Reds from the Gray deal earlier this year. Reds probably have a good idea of their system from their previous scouting.

I think with the top 2 SPs off the board we're gonna see more movement in the pitching market. Rodon is the next big piece if he's actually going to get traded. Mahle, Quintana, Perez, and Syndergaard are in the next tier.

Yankees are probably done dealing. That means the Sox could be front runners for Quintana.

I mean it seems about right. It's just the Mariners overpaid a lot for Castillo. If the Sox were to make a trade like this they'd probably have to give up Colson.
