Happy Trade Deadline Day thread!

[Seattle or Bust]

So the Pirates traded the M's equivalent of Nick Becker to get Weaver. The kid they traded has 20 HR's in A+ in just 60 games. Insane for a SS.

That's a lot to give up with no $$ exchanged.

Refsnyder had a 159 wRC+ vs LHP last season. Then he got plopped in a Mariners platoon.

He only had 71 PAs vs RHPs last season. Equivalent of about 18 games...

Which means he had the equivalent of about 35 games of PA's against LHP (138 PA).

Then Dipoto gave him $6M to be our answer to LHP.

Unreal.

After Canzone was perfectly fine vs lefties last season at .276/.712 Could have used that $6M on a BP arm

Dumbfuck strikes again.

Our #9 is Yorger Bautista

Our #9 isn't equivalent to their #9 and I'm looking at short stops at a similar level in the minors.

The Adley trade.

Insane tbh.

Maybe?????

The solution to our anemic offense is for our star players to show up; a moonshot trade is not realistic. There is nothing available out there on the trade market that will change our trajectory by itself. I wish it were otherwise......

Truer than true. Raleigh needs to rise from his ashes like a Phoenix. Julio must put on his determined panties, put away his buffoonery smiles and laughter and be professional. Those two alone could have helped win at least a dozen of the MN's losses.
Colt, I believe in you. I get that you are overwhelmed. Put on your stallion saddle and ride.
Vacancy at 3rd base sign is still up as far as I'm concerned.
Sure wish Matt Brash was mended.

He is the big deadline BP addition. Book it.

MLBTV has Becker worth seemingly more than the kid they got back. Likely because he's younger and drafted more recently/playing at a similar level.

I still think that is what the asking price would have been for Weaver given what the Mets got back.

Also, why are the Pirates trading for this bullpen help?

3 of their better players just hit the IL... O'Neill Cruz and Konnor Griffin on the 60-day. They find themselves 3.5 games back out of the WC... with these injuries?

Silly organizations gonna do what silly organizations gonna do.
