Lol this is wild. Teams gearing up for 2020 and it seems like non contending teams will not cave to contenders and vice versa.
Just a stupid year so far at the deadline. About 20 hours for sanity to return. Cleveland getting weaker makes me happy. Nobody else getting stronger makes me happy. Honestly it’d be kinda awesome and funny to me if the dodgers, Astros, Yanks and Sawks got together and said- let’s just sit this one out collectively.
The Texans suck and will continue to suck as long as a McNair owns the team, by suck I mean mediocre. Cheapass franchise. As far as the Astros go, they're trying to win so lets talk about them. You're right my opinion doesn't matter, neither does yours. Luhnow's opinion is the only opinion that matters and I trust him. BTW, Who's the Texans GM. LMAO
I’m ok with that on some level. It’s not real smart I don’t think, but good for Cincy and the Mets I guess- anytime you can jump the market and waste a trip to the playoffs for an arm on the market you just have to do it.
Indians will get Kluber back soon and now have Puig, an idiot but major OF upgrade for them. They didn't get weaker
Yankees lost to Arizona and now in second place for the best overall AL record. I expect them to make some deals
Good trades for Cleveland and Cincy, although Cincinnati basically has all their chips on 2020. Doesn’t look like a very good deal for San Diego but Trammell has extremely high upside. I’m glad Bauer wasn’t Houston’s guy.
As dumb as this deadline has been, I think dominoes are gonna fall. Giants have every incentive now to sell, especially considering other teams around them in the WC race have added when you consider they are just 3 games ahead of the Mets and now 2.5 back of Philly who added a SP.
9:28pm: The trade is still pending medical reviews, according to Heyman. That’s especially notable considering Puig is currently involved in a brawl in the Reds-Pirates game.
They were getting Kluber back whether they made this trade or not, those are independent events from each other. I didn’t want to see Tyler in game 3 of the ALDS after having to face Kluber in game 1 and Bieber in game 2. Those guys could, theoretically lock you up and end your season. Puig isn’t ending our season.
