I actually think he's done quite well. Only one I'm confused by is Doyle.

Yeah, I'm underwhelmed, but not angry, or anything. It would be nice to acquire another SP and move Hays. Castillo and Doyle are fixer-uppers, Brazoban is a definite upgrade, as is Bart. All that for Mason Adams and Boston Smith. Works for me.

    We have no excuse not to buy a top-end SP in free agency this offseason. As such, I’d rather keep Bonemer and go with a cheaper SP at the deadline. I truly believe we should not be doing “all-in” trad

    Trevor Bauer is an awful clubhouse fit even if you believe him innocent of any criminal wrongdoing. I also don’t understand why anyone would think a 35 year old pitching in the Nippon League or where

I think you posted this as a gotcha, but that blocks above average number has me feeling better about the trade in all honesty.

I think most of his negative defense comes from framing...which kind of a who cares for me now.

listen from 2014-2017 people kept trying to do this thing where they'd tell me going from really bad to just a little bad was a huge deal, but then the guy who had been just a little bad would come and be pretty bad, and the really bad would revert.

You either upgrade with a no doubt starter or you are shuffling hot hands. WE have one more guy to shuffle. That's cool. I didn't really care about catcher, I wanted a top pitcher, a no doubt one we could be pumped about. Instead we got another guy to shuffle if he gets hot. With Fedde and Schultz looking good this weekend, it's not that amazing to me.

Oh and we got bort from colorado.

I agree in a general sense, but not in the context of this team. The 2014-2017 White Sox would do that at like, 7 of the 9 positions, whereas this team is just doing it at catcher

Wow, Boston really emptying out the prospect cupboards

100%. But it's also why, again, I didn't care about catcher. I wanted to get a guy that every 5 days we'd feel very good about. But all of our pitchers are turning it around.

Braves and Yankees pretty quiet...other than Nats' 2B/1B/DH

We've got some roster work to do either way, way too many platoon OFers and Romo finally going to go join Charlotte.

Honestly don't think Stephenson is getting dealt. Must be trying to get a kings ransom. This is borderline negligence from the Reds

Not to mention Acuna...

What on earth is Cincinnati doing? I'd be livid as a Reds fan.

Only K.Campbell and his $50 million contract extension remaining.

Giants didn't get Roch, exactly.

Schmitt/Chapman at 3rd, Adames SS, he goes to second base?

Mayer supposedly a sour influence in the Boston clubhouse...fwiw

man this is like catnip for bob. He's probably tearing up while writing this

If NYY was on Bart too, then yeah I'm guessing the Reds' ask is high

If I'm Philly, I still want him. Even less valuable now than he was when we traded him, still probably better than Crawford.

I posted this as a reference and evidence that Bart is better than both our current options behind the plate. I don't have a super strong preference on Romo/Quero as backup, but I trust Romo more behind the plate for sure.

Honestly, a few weeks ago if you would told me this was the haul, I’d probably think, yeah, that sounds about right.

Wasn’t til yesterday I started itching for more.

Rick Hahn said he'd take the pool

Guardians get Griffin

I do find the Detmers love interesting. He had a good June but other then that? Meh. He's only gone past 5 innings once in July. And I'm sure because he's controllable, the price was probably very high.

It’s the stuff. He has always possessed the pure stuff of an ace and hasn’t been able to put it together. Recently this year, he has started to finally show flashes and indications that he is putting it together and for the next 2.5 years is trending to come into the frontline ace teams have seen as a ceiling for him.

Is Foster Griffin going to hit for the Guardians too?

Foster Griffin to Guardians. Nice pickup, but underlying metrics on him are Houser-like (i.e., suggests a useful player who isn't going to stay in the low 3s/high 2s).

Now compare Romo and Bart.

I did in another post, I had to go delete some old attachments to make some room for more screenshots. Bart is way better.

Twins get Hoffman
