    Like MLB Network stated, I don't know if I trust him because of his walk rate. Could I trust him? Probably.

    But maybe we can work some magic with him and turn him into that lefty specialist out of the pen.

    I hope we don't overpay but I would like to think this isn't the only move.

    Maybe its lets them move Peacock back in to the rotation and use Liriano in long relief?

    Only thing I could think of... Could you duct tape Tony Sipp and a B-grade prospect for him?

    Liriano's annual salary this year is 13.7 million. Sipp makes $6 million both this year and next... the pro-rated portion of Liriano is basically Sipp's 2018 salary. Otherwise, I think you end up cutting Sipp as dead weight.

    I actually like liriano as a lefty specialist out of the pen. Thinking outside the box on luhnows part. Could be a huge steal and acquisition based on the price tag on some of these relievers.

    Liriano has been dominant against LHHs this season. Like the move a lot, think someone like Jason Martin could be the headliner going to Toronto. Small chance of Laureano.

    Hmm maybe. I don't think we mind paying up for him. I hope we didn't give up Fisher. Maybe it's Kemp?

    after Harris' continued issues with inflammation, just liriano wouldn't do it for me. Have to get the Britton deal done.

    I am not disappointed...read the post I was responding to.

    My point was the poster said the trade deadline was disappointing the past 2 years. The poster can't have it both ways.

    Agree. Only Phillips had made a Top 100 list prior to that deadline. I'm guessing he got traded because Astros were low him.
