    Some of these guys will still be needed next season if the club actually intends to take a shot at competing. It's already a tall order to build back a decent leverage bullpen, and if all of the potential middle relievers are also destroyed that leaves almost no building blocks at all.

    Small nitpick, it's Kikuchi, not Kikucci. Thank you kindly and carry on.

    Oh my bad in the expected playing time over the rest of the season McGuire could reasonably be expected to provide 0.1 FWAR above what the team would receive from Serven. That's obviously lightyears apart.
  4. max silver
    Today could be a massive drain on the pen as Francis has generally been rocked as a starter and Rodriguez hasn't typically been given very large pitch counts.
  5. max silver
    Serven and McGuire have nearly identical projections for the rest of the season, and Serven doesn't come with the embarrassing baggage.

    Vlad has been playing at approximately a 5 win pace over the last 3 months since he heated up with the bat. I'll agree he's not likely to end up at 6 wins again but 5 seems eminently possible with a tad more consistency.
  7. max silver
    I find Clase to offer an intriguing power/speed combination. 3 year ZiPS projections have him peaking at 2.5 FWAR in 2026 which would be a very good return for a rental reliever.

    I'm not so sure the players who have been moved out are of the quality that would bring back potential impact players. So far there has been a very good but not quite elite leverage reliever with injury concerns, a starting catcher in the midst of a 2 month long slump and having the worst season of his career, and a former top pitching prospect who missed half a decade due to injury and now that he's finally healthy can't reliably retire major league hitters.

    Garcia was a very good reliever the entire time he was employed by the Blue Jays. You were simply too dense to ever recognize that.
  10. max silver
    Espinal was a perfectly reasonable return for Pearce. If the Jays can get something similar out of the Red Sox that will be another good return.

    This is Garcia's 3rd really good season in a row you doofus. He has arguably been MLB's most effective fireman out of the pen during his time with the Blue Jays and $6 million for a 1 win reliever is a relative bargain in today's MLB.
  12. max silver
    I specifically remembering you bitching and moaning about the team keeping Garcia at a relatively paltry $6 million, and they received the best string of pitching in his entire career and turned that into an outfield prospect. Now you are once again bitching about trading a major league reliever who hasn't had any type of sustained success at the major league level, has no remaining options so he would need to be on the 26 man roster next season. You have so many brainless takes on here it's kind of amazing.

    Your fangraphs rating is from before the season started, the one I provided is the mid season update. Both of Baseball America and MLB Pipeline place these two players in the Cubs top 30. I would guess the fact that Nate is out of options for next season likely also plays into the club moving him out despite the fact he's finally managed to remain healthy.
  14. max silver
    Pinango is 28th ranked Cubs prospect at present, and is supposed to be only 1 of 2 players coming back from the Cubs in this trade. What do you think that career 5.11 FIP Nate Pearson should have brought back in return?
  15. max silver
    The Blue Jays would have maybe had an above average offense for the season but still would have had an awful bullpen so the whole thing likely would have been for naught. The team's best trade chip would be gone for good and Soto would be lost to free agency in the offseason.

    Go take a look at Tommy John surgery rates across baseball and this is far from a Blue Jays only issue.
  17. max silver
    I'd have no qualms with trading Tiedemann but still maintain it should be for more than a pure rental player.
  18. max silver
    Even knowing that I still wouldn't trade an elite starting pitching prospect for a rental player, no matter how good the rental.
  19. max silver
    This would help Tiedemann stay healthy in the future?
  20. max silver
    That's probably the most reasonable stance for most reliever trades at the deadline.
  21. max silver
    In that case you better change your stance on Fielder and blame his obesity for the early retirement.
  22. max silver
    I think I legit missed that you actually agreed with a post I made. I suppose there's a first time for everything.
  23. max silver
    Huh? Prince Fielder wasn't forced to retire because he was fat. Try to keep up.
  24. max silver
    Fielder had a degenerative spine. He was also morbidly obese. It's entirely possible for these things to exist simultaneously and not be directly related to each other. This would be like blaming Vlad's history of wrist issues on the fact that he's a heavyset player instead of being someone that swings a bat hundreds if not thousands of times a week for a living. Prince played a highly rotational sport and had a rather violent swing, both of which are things that would have greatly exacerbated a degenerative spinal condition.

    I'd put more money on Hague being responsible.
