It kinda would make sense to stand pat
It would but we're only 3.5 out of 2nd WC so a bat would be great but bats are pricey.

Still hasn't been much connecting us to Upton or anyone else for the matter. I think this deadline ends up flat for us.
It just can't be.

When you're struggling around .500, it's really hard to trade top prospects for a guy that will probably not even re-sign with you.
I'd love Upton. He's an amazing player. I just don't think he's worth emptying the system for if he's gone in 2 months.
Anderson isn't going to be traded. Fulmer can't be. Montas possibly.

Same here. The overreaction after the inevitable loss, while expected, is still mind-boggling.
We're used to s***ty play so it's normal. I'd rather have Cespedes depending on the deal obviously.

Place your bets on if the FO buys or sells because time is running out.
Buying a bat. Can't change your mind because of one rainy s***ty game facing a knuckleballer.

A little disappointed that we haven't heard any new trade rumors or updates in 5-6 hours
We heard what we needed to. Now they're trying to seal the deal. Next update should be about something being close.

Thing is, Tigers sent us Avi and he's not special. Now if they trade us Cespedes that means they think he's lousy as well.
Lol. No. He's a free agent. They traded price. I'm 100% sure they don't think he's lousy.
