Not sure about that. If they are offered a couple of T100 guys and another interesting player or two, why not?

You'd need a top 10 player to make it worth it.  If Toronto wants to give you Vlad Jr. or San Diego offers you know who.  Otherwise, no thanks.

I would rather see Rondon get these at bats the rest of the way than Yolmer. Just make him team mascot.

Yolmer is just another long line of miscast starters. Avi, Tim, (future) Yoan and Jose are really the only ones that I could see starting on a future good team.

We need at least 1 LH starter. 

Why? The team with the second best starting rotation in baseball has 0 LH starters.

wRC+ of 48 since the ASB coming into the game. And I agree about the 4, with Omar making it 4.5.  Some of these guys will be playing for the Long Island Ducks come 2020.

Now you made me feel bad for Duck fans.

Yolmer will have a long career as a utility guy and emergency starter, IMO.

Odds of a HBP have to be like 40 pct here

Seems like an outlier to me. 

I don't think it matters if he's LH, Rodon's like the only decent pitcher on the team.  If they trade him at 25 years old with 3 years of control, the league ought to step in.

Why does everyone not like Reynaldo Lopez? 

Man, Ricky's burning through pitchers.  Davidson, start warming.

All right, 1.5 decent pitchers.

Wow Fry hitting 96-97. This is some closer quality stuff.

I hate LH closers. 

The dreaded lead off walk

Any reason in particular? 97 4 seamer and a 91 slider or cutter is pretty damn good.

Heckuva a battle between Fry and Gomez. 11 pitches

The Indians won 94 games and were 1 win away from a ring in 2016. That starting rotation also consisted of 5 RH starters.

Just don't like the match up's against RH hitters in high leverage situations.

Needs to stop hanging that cutter. Hung 4 of them that inning

Wow Chuck owned that
