  1. They weren't traded to anyone dude
  2. Happ wasn't traded so we were running out of/had no options
  3. I know but that's what you have to give up. If Syndegaard went for Moniak, that should set the idea of market. White is under control until 2026.
  4. lol. What did you think was going to happen? The SP market has been insane.
  5. The New York Yankees are acquiring Harrison Bader from the St. Louis Cardinals for Jordan Montgomery, according to sources familiar with the situation.
  6. WE GOT MITCHELL WHITE cf Said it twice jfc
  7. We got Mitchell White from Dodgers
  8. RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long was traded for Fulmer
  9. Twins definitely bolstered for this upcoming 4-game series (Lopez & Fulmer)
  10. Cardinals really held on to Carlson so they didn't get Soto and they really didn't go after any other trade but Quintana. Interesting.
  11. Tweeted 2 hrs ago though
  12. Os got Phillips, cry
  13. They might be keeping him; try and extend or posit a QO and take the pick.
  14. That wasn't directed entirely at you. Just used your post as a launching platform for everyone else. The ask for the starting pitcher market is high, where even the Angels are wanting heavy prospect capital in return for Syndegaard. There are also 5 teams still on the hunt for SP and the bidding war continues. Like, its weird that it is being attributed to Atkins' incompetence and inadequate understanding of what is needed for the team to succeed versus how the market is shaping up Again, I am sure the depth SP/depth OF is being addressed or attempted but if Cubs are asking Moreno for Happ + Smyly + some prospect to equate the value, does that constitute as reasonable? What if, then, Jansen gets injured (also injury prone) and we have to depend on Collins as our back up? Isn't that the same scenario as Springer going on IL and having Tapia/Zimmer play CF?
  15. The goal is to make playoffs and I think we addressed the one thing that might hold us back from that. I do not understand the assumptions that because we did not make huge moves, our goals/chances have diminished when the onus of that is internal to so many players underperforming, not all (if any) can be fixed at the trade deadline. We need to add SP depth and OF depth, sure and I am hoping its coming
  16. What if they miss out on the postseason after making a stupendously big move? Do certain trades come with guarantees that postseason is set in stone?
  17. The issue is this team hasn't clicked fully. Vlad is underperforming to what we need him to be (some semblance of last year), Bo is underperforming, Lourdes has lost a lot of power, Kirk has regressed since his hot stretch (111 wRC in July), Romano has regressed, starting pitching has been flaky (Even Gausman), etc... etc... You can't address all that with couple of big moves in the trade deadline. Our biggest problem was we had no swing/miss and we got two who can fix that. But there's no way you can expect the FO to fix all the underperforming from everyone else during the trade deadline. Like how do you expect to get Judge-ish level of performance from a trade deadline candidate so that we can 'compete' against Yankees on paper? Most teams infront of us have MVP candidates - Judge, Alvarez, Freeman, Alonso; and our supposed MVP candidate might not even hit 30 HRs before the season wraps up.
  18. There isn't really anything 'big' left. There are some solid moves that can still be made but they aren't full on splash that'll shake up the team.
  19. Steer is 7th; ES is 23rd; Hajjar is 18th
  20. 'Just'? Jury's still out on that. Happy? Yes, so far. Now stop dooming until the f***ing deadline is done.
