August 2Aug 2 Shits and giggles:White Sox send Bonemer, Hagen Smith, Mason Adams, and Edgar Quero to Cincinnati for Hunter Greene, Emilio Pagan, and Tyler Stephenson.Whatda ya think?
August 2Aug 2 Am I the only 1 that doesn’t think adding another SP is that important?….unless it’s someone that will be a top 3 starter for the playoffs. Realistically we are getting 60 innings out of the #5 spot the rest of the season. I don’t see why we would give up legit prospects for someone like Singer that won’t pitch in the playoffs. I don’t think piggybacking Fedde and Schultz to get those 60 innings will result in any more losses.

Two of the guys you list are questionable in their own right. Edited August 2Aug 2 by Lip Man 1

I really rate him. Detmers is my number one choice but is clear that the Angels are delusional when it comes to both where they are as a club and asking price.

August 2Aug 2 1 hour ago, Colome's Hat said:There is a Castillo to Stephenson connection that makes sense. Some of Castillo's best seasons were with Stephenson as his catcher.Did not even think about this connection as it seems like Castillo has been gone from the reds forever ago

August 2Aug 2 Feels like the catching market just needs a kick start of one going and then the rest will go
August 3Aug 3 s%*# has got quiet AF…I expect one more major trade at some point tonight. Edited August 3Aug 3 by Chicago White Sox
August 3Aug 3 Eerily quiet indeed. Have to imagine the looming lockout is causing the hesitation in teams buying and giving up future assets? Other than the Dodgers being the Dodgers there really haven’t been any significant prospects moved yet.
