If you predict 100 trades and 10 of them happen you predicted a lot but you got 90% wrong. But many operate that way even some pretty well known journalists. that was bucketofsuck. He may have got one right 7 or 8 years ago, and rode his "insider" status for quite a while, all the time, never providing anything else of substance. He never had anything else, but threw some crap out there when someone would ask for info, never accurate. Gave us RH, KW private conversations. it was so BS is was laughable. But get one, and many think you have RH's office bugged. Edited August 31, 20205 yr by Dick Allen
August 31, 20205 yr Wonder what will happen if the Indians want Cease instead of Kopech in a trade for Clevenger.

August 31, 20205 yr Rosenthal just talked about Celvinger and the White Sox. He said GMs don’t worry so much about inter division trades but the Sox would have to pay a higher price than any of the other suitors.

I really hope we don't give away good prospects for any of these guys. I mean it would be nice if we could win this year but the 2020 World Series will come with a big asterisk. It's not even worth it.

What would worry me more is trading prospects away and a COVID outbreak causes the season to be cx.

The expected good teams will make the playoffs. The expected division winners will win the divisions.

They are to try and steal a world series this year and have a great shot moving forward. I'm not sure we would be willing to give up a lot for Lynn for this reason.
August 31, 20205 yr I can't recall a team ever being so aggressive at a deadline. Crazy. Not sure it's wise to go all-in in a shortened season with an expanded playoff and the Dodgers in your division, but give them props for trying.

August 31, 20205 yr Just now, bmags said: Damn, really wanted this guy. One of the busiest teams at the trade deadline in a long time. I wonder what they had to give up. Their farm system has already taken quite a hit.
August 31, 20205 yr Author The last time the padres were this busy they went 74-88 and had to go on a 5 year rebuild.
