Best part about a lot of rentals moving? Less guys that can receive a QO. Jump the market early in the offseason and sign an arm or two.

That was exhausting. See you guys tomorrow for the Red Sox game.

I’m spent. I need a cigarette

Pretty awful day after the good reliever deal last night. Really puzzling outfield decision.

I don't get the Angels not trading Detmers. I'm not one to value prospects over real producing major leaguers, but that whole organization needs to be blown up and having Detmers still there is pointless for them. Maybe they think they can get more in the offseason?

The Reds are also a head scratcher. They have no chance in the NL Central. Maybe a shot at a wild card, but they're so flawed they're not going anywhere in the postseason.

Worst case of blue balls I’ve had in awhile.

The Angels are morons.

Why? Detmers stock can go up even more with a good last two months.

Add the Reds to that list

Right. Heck we were in similar positions with Robert, Cease, Crochet and waited for offseason.

Angels have/had a lot of good players. Could have an expedited rebuild.

If nobody came in for any of the reds players, it's telling me that no GM was willing to pay the price they were asking for. Hard to blame Getz in that case. Especially the Yankees given how badly they need a catcher.

Definite disconnect on what the Angels/this board think Detmers is worth vs what the rest of the league thinks. If Mason Adams/Boston Smith got that deal done, I'd like it. Have to think the Cubs would've offered them Rojas though which would've been a deal worth taking. Or maybe not, the Cubs could win the World Series this year and Holmes is strictly better.

re: Stephenson, probably some calculus about keeping a guy that fans like and wants to be there and was probably returning a low tier prospect at best. Joey Bart for free is such a better option for the Sox.

Between the active guys and guys injured the Dodgers have two 5 man starting rotations. They not only didn't trade Lauer but also traded for Bubic.

Active

Yamamoto

Sasaki

I'd have assumed he'd have some value. Unless they're trying to sneak him through now.

There’s gotta be a non-contender that would claim Pereira.

I would agree - I don’t like losing him…think he is a league average ball player by my guess is they feel / better about Hays stepping up here?
