Giants are 5 outs away from trading MadBum as they trail 4-0 in the 8th. I think they are literally waiting for the outcome of that game before deciding to sell or not.
At a minimum, if Wheeler, Roark, and Minor aren’t traded, their teams have totally wasted them. I understand SF, Arizona, and Cleveland hanging on to their controllable players as they’re close enough to the playoffs to justify it.
The Giants lose. They are now closer to the Mets in the loss column than the WC teams they’re chasing. They’re delusional if they don’t sell now.
I think the Astros will end up with Wheeler. Seems like a natural fit if the Mets are insistent on Tucker for Thor.
I’m wholly convinced the Astros are going to get MadBum now that the Giants lost and now that Bauer is off the board.
