But it could also blow up in their faces if Cueto's injury concern rears its head or if they pull a 2014 Athletics. And yes we are not in that position at all.
TL;DR, rentals are pretty much a no-go or should be if AA isn't looking to add to the clown car going forward.
I think the fact that KC really had to pay a lot for Cueto is a blessing for us as it should discourage AA from slaughtering the farm for a rental, which was always my biggest concern heading into this trade deadline.
Honestly, who cares? He is blowing big games when we need him the most. That and Gibbons doesn't have a goddamn clue how to manage the bullpen, it has been the way for a long time now.
I wouldn't. We're going to need his arm when he comes back regardless of what the situation is. Stroman should be one guy that is basically off limits.
Can we stop with this "woe is the other team" stuff with everything? The Blue Jays are the ones that have to keep them scoreless twice to get there as it stands now.
