I feel like Gomez won't be overly cheap. CarGo maybe, JB, Ethier (unlikely now as you don't really want two platoon guys), Saunders on a minors contract.
They may also have gotten two relievers and filler for the minors. If they were being offered a Clint Frazier type, etc, they probably should have gone with quality over quantity. I'm glad they didn't, but still.
I know our FO doesn't want to be giving up assets for guys without control, but Cutch for almost nothing would have looked real nice in our outfield next year. the QO would probably have been worth more than what they gave up.
Seriously refs? You see a guy laying on the floor injured and you allow the other team to inbound the ball??? I mean, the calls have been one-sided as it is, but how much more blatant can you get?
There's apparently some talk that Darvish's asking price may have dropped considerably, and could be now looking in the 5/90 range (seems doubtful, but who knows). If true, I'd hope we're in the mix.
I doubt they could get insurance on it. He basically just got the contract, so any insurer would probably tell them to take a hike. They're just hoping he comes back in time to trade at the deadline. A QA is possible too, but that's a lot to pay for that.
