Pretty much all you can ask for is to get something for Axford and Loup, so Atkins did well there. I’m just excited to see some a couple new arms in the bullpen.

I agree. Only reason I asked was I had seen it mentioned earlier in this thread. It seems he had fallen out of sorts with Hinch (most likely because of his s***** attitude) losing the 9th amd then ultimately being demoted despite not pitching poorly at all.

I had my doubts, but this is a really good return. Much more than I was expecting. Does Giles get flipped now or not?

It would definitely be a very bad idea to sell low on Osuna, though we can’t be sure what teams are valuing him at right now. At the very least I’d suspect inquiring teams are trying to use the DV case as leverage to get the price down.

I mean, maybe there is an argument here. However, Travis is at a distinct disadvantage in the competition for playing time given he only plays 2B, no? Like, all of Drury, Diaz, Gurriel and Solarte play multiple positions.

Why is Gurriel in this conversation? He’s swinging a hot bat and not blocking Travis from anything.
