Why do I feel like they’re going to massively overpay for Stephenson and Singer? Something like Thorpe, Wolkow and Pereira.

Don’t scare me like that.

This would not surprise me at all. This covers their last two needs (whether you like Singer or not) and the Reds are definitely moving those guys. Sure seems like the Sox want to move Wolkow.

I think they need to Fathom.

If Thorpe goes, I'd assume one of Lodolo or Abbott are coming back.

Also if we've learned anything from this FO. Everything has been pretty quiet so far as far as leaks from them.

I'd rather move Hays and Grichuk than Pereira.

If I was quoted for a reason, I honestly have zero attachment to any of the three, other than they are already here and free.

Eh, I’m doubting they acquired a guy at the deadline with one of their bigger trade chips to send this guy to Charlotte. I think they are churning their other outfield depth in upcoming trades.

Lodolo was always the guy I thought they’d go after, but he’s so hard to trust with the injury issues

Ehhh, seems like Getz wants no part of trading anybody in their top 10

The last name sounds AI generated.

Sorry I quoted you by accident.

My point was not to focus too much on recent performance or past performance, i.e. they both count. A lot of the secret sauce in this business is figuring out when the very recent past is lying to you and when it's not.

Oh 100% agree, but I feel like that’s more applicable in the offseason than for deadline deals. I’m all for buying low on guys, but prefer there is an offseason, spring training, or early regular season period to work on adjustments.

Them walking into the post season with Romo and Quero would be unacceptable. I don't think they will.

Won’t happen, but my god would I lose it if it did.

Also before someone sees what Bob said...I was listening to the report and it sounded like he was guessing

I know…all my posts have caveated that. I hope he is going to Charlotte and would dislike it far less.

you should lean in heavier on recent performance because you have two months to right the ship and get production out of said player.

This isn’t certainly one of those moves though - since he is controlled through 29 with options remaining.

And we have proven already we can win with Peters being an offensive hole providing stellar D.

Maybe platooning him with Peters helps them both this year and even more so in years to come.

Sure thing Bob.
