What if it was Vientos?

I was once like the rest of you. I talked to myself into believing picking up the option is a good idea. But then I realized I'm a fucking idiot for thinking that and I'd rather not.

Noooo

Package Robert and Steven Wilson. Get back Clifford, Acuna (since it seems they want him. Toss him in CF rest of year and next year f*** it), and whatever else

You know something, I've always wondered lol

Gilbert I think.

I'd listen to offers if the starting point was "a haul."

And you would probably have to eat money on that to help a trade.

I'd say more than enough lol it would have been a homerun

Damn I wish we had some high-end relievers to deal

I thought Rogers was flipped but it turns out his twin was dealt to the Mets. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/mets-to-acquire-tyler-rogers.html

Braves traded for him (they need bodies at this point) with Cardinals paying basically remainder of salary. Flexen is another who just got DFA'd who helped soak up some innings last year.

Absolutely.

Yeah, if you’re trading for him you’re not looking for him to be an ace. You probably plug him into the back half of the rotation and hope he keeps it up.

Yeah I did see that too. 1.2 WAR still with no power. Maybe they can fix him.

Yeah what did this move do for them? Shed some salary for the next 4-5 years (signed for 4 with a 5th year option)?

Honestly, one of the better places to go without spending a lot of money.

I think they just expect him gone by the deadline tomorrow. Don't think anything was necessarily close.

On a team with a better roster, that will change:

I can’t believe would actually want to gamble on Luis Robert…again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a third time, shame on Chris Getz I guess (didn’t know where to put the blame on that last one but he’s the GM).

I like targeting arms in deals for guys that don’t have little to no value

Houser too

Yeah that's true about Houser but him being a rental and the way he has thrown this season, I would think a team would want the extra start.

At this point, yeah one game isn't going to make a difference on Robert's value and a team would rather trade for an extra start of Houser (skip him today and he's available for a team tomorrow if traded today).

Give me as many options over Clevinger as possible.
