    Got a TOR starter for a top 75 and one of our million back end SP types. Great deal for both sides.

    Kimbrel going for the save right now. 4S/CU combination eerily similar to McCullers.

    Way too easy for him. Never have fear in him blowing a game. Imagine having him at 9, Gregerson at 8. Harris at 7. Sipp/Neshek at 6. With a young arm like McCullers, he can just go 5 and save his arm. Nasty...

    Flip Neshek and Harris but yeah. The pen would be quite good.

    Based on some of the trades I've seen, Kaminsky for Moss and what the Blue Jays paid for Price, the Astros are better off staying pat. Those are incredibly high prices being paid right now.

    Sounds like someone is confident we are grabbing someone else.

    So the deadline is tomorrow afternoon

    But with all the "medical" issues we've heard about over the past few days, do the deals have to be FINAL by 3 tomorrow, or just submitted by then and could still be cancelled if something went wrong?

    I'm tired of waiting, lol

    Ryan Raburn would be a good fit as a complimentary bat. Hits LHP very well, could platoon with Tucker.
