Must mean one of the catchers is being sent packing here because you can only add one position player and one pitcher. Unless they dont play on bringing Teel back up this season?

Unless they dont play on bringing Teel back up this season?Maybe he rakes against an Astro pitcher and then they release him after the game. This is Bizarro World, the absolute dumbest thing possible. Edited 16 hours ago16 hr by Falstaff
16 hours ago16 hr There’s just no way this makes them better, and this is coming from someone who wanted them to find another outfielder

After all, if you're willing to deal with Pham, you can deal with Robert.

16 hours ago16 hr Because Teel, Thorpe, and Brazoban are all on the 40 man and also on a rehab assignment can they be called up later and still be on the playoff roster ?

15 hours ago15 hr This has got Reinsdorf written all over it. Most of us agreed Getz was handcuffed at the deadline due to our top-heavy system limiting the deals to be made. Cash was king and they spent some cash instead of prospects. Waiver wire is all cash, afaik, which means it’s the perfect time to upgrade the roster. Great attendance, winning team, let’s do it!But not Jerry! Tommy f’n Pham? Really?!? Sorry ass owner.
15 hours ago15 hr Author Have a feeling this is more in line with my "claim Robert to play against lefties" idea, minus improving the defense. Guessing Grichuk ends up in the OF more against lefties (he already did occasionally anyway). Just don't really love the fit since he's washed. Edited 15 hours ago15 hr by Bob Sacamano
15 hours ago15 hr Pham pinch hits off the bench and can play LF if needed.All the sudden Robert goes from no way to way.
