Happy Trade Deadline Day thread!

Varsho to the astros

Boy he sure regressed this year.

0.8 WAR and an 86 OPS+.

He must he doing pretty bad. MLB apparently thought the other guy was more important- this was how I saw the Varsho trade.

Had to click More to even see it was for Varsho lol..

Who else is out there thats available. Arraez would of been nice but doesn't play 3B. Miller's not available neither is chapman. Boston played themselves right back into the playoff hunt. Who's the major upgrade. The 2 biggest moves are Adley to Boston & Skubal to LA. Outside of that who gives a shit. No impact type moves. What moves did Astros & Texas do to get better. Castillo to Chicago. Laughable. Who'd Yankees add or TB. Doing something is better than doing nothing.

Told you guys this deadline would be a nothing Burger yet people on X all week saying trade Kirby for a HAUL. Every time I would reply asking what haul. Probably did this at least a dozen times and NEVER got a single response. Hilarious how 90% of people are completely incapable of critical thinking. Just trade him for a HAUL! AND leave us with ZERO SP depth and a rookie that would have to be shut down in mid Sept in the rotation.

Yeah the most risk averse team in the history of sports that wouldn't trade a single starter in YEARS is going to trade two in 48 hours. Ya right. So many complete dopes in this world..

I have read nothing new or noteworthy. The stuff we are all hearing is the same stuff that’s been discussed for the last 2 months. In short:

• We need a right handed bat and a reliever. So does almost everyone else.

• We have the number 8 farm system, so we have depth to use if we so choose. Only Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan are untouchable (they may be called up later in the season).

• The M’s may finally trade from pitching depth. Of course Castillo is the one they want to be in the chop, but he’s the most expensive, he’s on the wrong side of 30, he has another expensive year left in his contract, and he has an ERA of nearly 5. So, yeah. There’s that. They should have traded him during the offseason.

• All the armchair pundits want Wilson Contreras. But so does everyone else. Even if he was available - which I doubt he is since the Red Sox are raking it now - some evil empire like the Dodgers or Yankees will get him because they are willing pony the fuck up.

• We have SS and 2B locked up for the foreseeable future, but we have a glaring gap at 3B moving forward.

• Everyone is waiting for the post all-star break surge in Cal and Julio. And all of our problems will be solved once they figure out to hit again and Brendan Donovan comes off the IL. Hope springs eternal.

• Dipoto is on record as saying they aren’t going to make any splashy moves before the deadline.

So yeah - let’s all just get used to the fact that nothing will happen, we wind up 4th in the division and 8 games out of a wild card spot.

Say it loud and say it proud … “there’s always next season.”

Unsure what you mean by "nothing will happen." That hasn't been their deadline performance since before the rebuild. They've been pretty active at the deadline the last couple of years and I don't see that changing.

I don't know that it will be something earth shattering like Abrams... but again, a decent reliver and a player like Taylor Ward would do a lot for this team.

I guess I sort of was on it.

I'd say you nailed. Nice job!

Curious who the Bunch of relievers are in addition to Brash??

aMatt Brash, Cooper Criswell, and Carlos Varga

I hate having to click MORE Just show everything. If I only want to read the first part I will stop reading!

Heliot Ramos to the Yankees.

[DavidGee24]

Heliot Ramos to the Yankees.

Ramos and Garcia, and eventually they'll have Judge and Bellinger back. Other franchises just want it a lot more.

Final Bell!

Your a far bit over the top here

But I’m one of the dopes

Pirates get Kirby Yates at the buzzer. I thought he'd be a nice guy to get for next to nothing
